10 / 10YossarianThis is the finest iteration of the BRP rules I've ever seen, not to mention a fantastic modern-day setting.
9 / 10QusoorBrilliant. The smart, nerdy game of Lovecraftian horror and working for the British government, paperclip audits and all.
7 / 10TrippyHippyVery tight and highly polished rendition of the BRP system to create a modern day Cthulhu/spy thriller setting. Less James Bond and more The Ipcress Files, with a healthy dose of 'The Office' style bureaucratic black humour. Essentially a very British take on a very modern Cthulhu game.

Rating User Summary
4 + 5San Dee JotaThe Laundry. The Laundry is based on the “Laundry Files” series of novels by Charles Stross. In it, players take on the roles of British intelligence agents tasked with protecting the UK and the world (in that order) from supernatural horrors, while muddling through bureaucratic red tape. The world may be ending in tentacles and demonic possession tomorrow, but you still have paperwork to do in the mean time!
5 + 4kafkaThe Laundry. Fighting the Cthulhu Mythos and their ilk, you can lose your insanity, die horrible deaths – and now with The Laundry, you will also lose your gold plated double indexed pension but look On the Bright Side of Life…maybe the End Times might come first…
4 + 5RavenshawThe Laundry. A sardonic take on the Cthulhu Mythos and modern bureaucracy. The Laundry is based on the Atrocity Archive series by Charles Stross.
4 + 5Antonios SThe Laundry. Call of Cthulhu x Paranoia RPG = The Laundry.

Ratings Explanation

The following components make up a rating:

Ratings. The ratings that users enter into this index are each averaged into the final rating with a weight of between 0 and 4, with weight based on trust algorithms.

Reviews. Each review is averaged into the final rating with a weight of 8. Sometimes reviews can skew high, but they also display fan interest (or disdain) in a product.

Content. The average rating of each content--before its own bayesian weight is inserted--is averaged into the final rating. The weight of a content is equal to its own weight divided by the number of contents, and divided again if it only appears in a fraction of editions.

Bayesian Weight. A rating of 5.00 is inserted into the final rating with a weight of 35. This is an arbitrary weighting of the average rating that keeps things toward the center until they're better rated.
