In Sweden, the equivalent to Dungeons & Dragons (Drakar och Demoner, translating into Dragons and Demons, 0 points for originality) was basically a Runequest ripoff, complete with ducks and everything. This means that the BRP is as canonical among older Swedish gamers as OD&D seems to be among Americans.

If you don't stray to much from the classic genres you can probably run a game without having to adjust the rules too much. And the BRP system is so easy you can explain it to everyone in just a few sentences. That's probably a good idea.
