Thanks for the link, Tashtego!

Question: Will the editor allow you to add more time periods like the dark ages?

Second question will we see the full Basic Roleplay book and or Rune Quest after this?

Replacing the skill and equipment list would be easy - just a little time consuming. The hard part about Dark Ages is going to be the fact that in the standard CoC game, you roll income, then select an occupation to reflect that. In Dark Ages, each occupation provides its own income. So, if you just want to set a custom income yourself, then select the occupation, everything will work. There are also some rules about starting spells that I haven't studied enough to answer at this point.

We've had many requests for Dark Ages support, so it will be something we want to add at some point. Right now, I don't have any details to give you on when that would happen.

If you need any help just ask. :) I am itching to start grinding some more data for you all.

Chaosium recommended that we hold off on full BRP support for the moment, but that is planned for when we get the green light from Chaosium (and is covered by our license).

I don't believe we'll be able to touch the original Runequest property from whence the BRP originally derived (I loved that game back when it first came out). The Runequest property is now licensed by Mongoose and the game system has been dramatically changed from BRP. It's possible that we'll be able to structure the data files to allow fan-creation of content for the old RQ rules, but we haven't even looked at that possibility yet.

Great! I love BRP.

Didn't you have the rights to Mongooses RuneQuest at one time?

Awesome!
