Note that for user-created game conversions, you will probably need to own a copy of the game you wish to play. Game designers will find that BGE provides an excellent means of prototyping and playtesting their game designs, and allows them to avoid the hassle of creating print-and-play playtest kits (and playtesters are avoided the hassle of crafting the PNP game, whose components may go through several iterations before they are finalized). In addition to allowing you to play existing digital game conversions, BGE is also a powerful toolkit that allows you to create your own digital game conversions, quickly and easily, with no programming, scripting, or XML editing whatsoever. Future digital game conversions released by Battlegrounds Games will only be packaged for BGE, although they will generally still be usable in BRPG.

BGE is compatible with all the digital game conversions (and most artpacks) that were already available for BRPG. It is based on the BRPG codebase, but has been optimized for general gaming. RPG-related features have been removed, and new features and functions added instead. As an added bonus, BRPG can also be used for playing boardgames, wargames, card games, and dice games.īattlegrounds Gaming Engine (aka BGE) is virtual tabletop software for use with boardgames, wargames, card games, and dice games.
