A brazilian Medieval setting? That'd be new territory for me to

It is an interesting idea - I'll try it in play and see how it runs.
I generally use Bailywolf's setback mechanism as standard in my
games.

Yep, this works and is pretty straightforward.

In a Magic Medley (for Fudge) they lay out a similar system where
you may have fire magic and everything you might do with it is a
stunt, though they have a slightly crunchier approach to it, changing
difficulty levels to suit the task, so that creating a candle flame
is easier than creating a wall of fire.

I was working on something similar to this for my Arabian Nights
Wushu setting until it all disappeared in my great Hard disk crash,
though I'm trying to get it and several other projects up to speed
again. One thing I was playtesting was a skill for magical self-
transformation. I was looking to recreate battles between two mages
who would take on a variety of animal or mythological beast shapes in
quick succession. Enchanter artisan was to be another ability -
combining the ability to say, weave carpets and enchant them to fly.
The ability to summon and command Djin and effreets was another area
I was developing as a possible magical trait.

Again, its the kind of stuff I'd like to see in play before
commenting.

I'm always pleased to see stuff by other Wushu fans regardless of
whether I end up adopting it or not. There's a lot of great stuff out
there, but I don't use all of it. I do use complications and setbacks.
All in all good work, and I hope to see more of it.

So, if you don't mind me scking, why BURP? Is it a commentary on the
gaseous nature of some GMs, or is it an acronym (Bruno's Universal
Role Playing)? Just curious... :)
