BRP - Worlds of Wonder

[coffee]

I'm absolutely fascinated by this set.

I really wish I had come across it when it came out.

Does anybody know where I can lay my hands on a copy? I'm especially interested in the additional material (I have most of the books), such as character sheets and the pamphlet that puts it all together.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hey, do you have any links with more info? I'm not sure I've ever heard of this.

(and since I've experienced first-hand your exquisite aesthetic judgment, I figure I should know about it...)

Here's a couple:

This is kind of OT, but I hope its ok since its a piece of trivia related to the subject.

Worlds of wonder (or rather book 1 BRP and book 2 Magic world) was translated into swedish and published as swedens first rpg "Drakar och Demoner" ("Dragons and Demons", the name was clearly inspired by D&D!) by Target Games / Äventyrsspel (Adventure Games). The same company later published a postapocalyptic game "Mutant" with the same brp rules (the authors have revealed that their initial commission was to make "a game like Gamma World"!). In the early 90's they published the infamous horror rpg "Kult" and the dark science fantasy rpg "Mutant Chronicles". In the later part of the 90's the company stopped publishing rpgs and split into several companies, one of wich is Paradox Entertainment, producer of computer games (Europa Universalis) and owner of the Conan trademark.

It's okay, it isn't really OT.

It's just kind of a shame that the game was better supported abroad than here at home!

(I mean the Worlds of Wonder concept, not BRP -- that is still alive and well.)

Update: I got it.

Cost a bit, but I'm Mr. Happy Guy right about now.

Thanks to all those who commented, whether here or privately.
