Based on past "discussion" and polls (I can't refer to them direclty though so I have go on memory).

There is a rough split of people who use primarily adventure style BR gaming another block who does mostly domain level play and another group that does a mix of the two. There was a significant amount in any of the three categories of play (well based on those who actually "voted", which is the only way to attempt to quantify anything).

The BRCS was designed (like the original BR rules set) to do the latter.

It would never be the best at domain level nor the best at adventure level play because of the necessity.

Designing a system around domain (e.g. regent) and intrigue works very well at the domain level style but not so well at the adventure level ones.

Maintaining a tight "balance" {I know many people hate that word) is essential at the adventure level but not so much at the domain level.

I truely believe that is where the "problems" have their basis.

I do not agree with everything in the BRCS (nor in the final versions of Chap 1 and 2) but they were what the concensus was hence the resultant product. I have pretty much adamantly refused to dictate a set of rules only to take the stance that the inclusiveness in the development of the BRCS chap1 and 2 is what is of paramount importance. Everyone at the time had a chance to play and shape them, just becasue some chose not to does not invalidate the fact that others did.
