\chapter{How we Found Basic Roleplaying}

At the time that there was the \gls{gls-OGL} \gls{OGL} issues with the 
\gls{gls-DnD} \gls{DnD}, \gls{gls-SRD} \gls{SRD}, where it
looked like \gls{gls-WotC} \gls{WotC}, were changing things to make
the license anything but open, I decided I wanted to see if I could
make a {\it Humans \& Hovels}, or whatever we were going to end up
calling it in the end.  

I spent some time in World Anvil setting some stuff up, but ended
up pretty much giving up on that specific thing, but part of my trying
to create that, resulted in my looking and finding the \gls{BRP} 
\gls{SRD}, which was what we were going to try to see what
we could do with that.  

After having looked at it, and really deciding that it was something
that would be interesting to work with, along with some other games
that fall more or less within the system, we ended up getting an updated
version.  

At the time of writing this, we checked out \gls{Chaosium} itch.io offerings
as we'd spotted a new {\it Call of Cthulhu}, free handouts pack, and 
spotted the (which we'd seen before) \gls{BRP}, free 
character sheets pack.

This basically brings us to wanting to use that free character sheets
pack to offer people who may want to play with us, the ability to create
characters.
