Resources
These are resources which may be used for table top role playing games, we
currently have:
* Session 0
## Session 0
This is an explanation of having, and why you would want to have a
Session 0.
It's the Session before venturing out on your adventures, or it's the
start of the session when you start off on your adventures.
I will have to fix that as it's currently misnamed at least here.

\chapter{About Basic Roleplaying}
This system was created in 1980, out of {\it RuneQuest}, and has been
changed over the years from that initial 16 page booklet, to now as of
2023, a about 250 page book.
Initially it covered the basics of one game system, but has included
additions from other systems which Chaosium has been involved with.

\chapter{Acknowledgements}
A number of people should be acknowledged, first off the creators of
the {Basic Roleplaying Universal Game Engine}, Jason Durall and Steve
Perrin.
I would like to thank Wizards of the Coast, for showing clearly that
{\it Dungeons \& Dragons}, is perhaps not the system I would like to
play in, before I had made any commitment to it.
I would like to thank all the people who play, and create independent
games.
One specific person I would like to thank is Avery Alder who created,
{The Quiet Year}, which was the first game I ever ran with other
people.
I also would like to thank all of those who have played games with
me, even just at the setting up stages.

\chapter{Copyleft}
Well, copyleft is probably not quite the right thing for this, but we'll
call it that for now.
This document is created by Jigme Datse Yli-Rasku, for personal use, with
some intention that it be something to be distributable.
We license this with CC-BY-SA, meaning you can distribute this freely.
If you distribute it, you would include the "By" portion as to who this
which may change from what is currently here (there will be a section for
that).
If you wish to modify that, you can do so, sharing with the same license.
This isn't {\it currently}, correctly listed, but it has the basic
information as it stands.

\chapter{Dedication}
This is dedicated to all those who have gone before me, and all those who
remain after I am no longer here.

\chapter{How we Found Basic Roleplaying}
At the time that there was the Open Gaming License (OGL) issues with the
{\it Dungeons \& Dragons}, system reference document (SRD), where it
looked like Wizards of the Coast (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 {\it Basic
Roleplaying} 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 Chaosium's itch.io offerings
as we'd spotted a new {\it Call of Cthulhu}, free handouts pack, and
spotted the (which we'd seen before) {\it Basic Roleplaying}, 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.
