ah, but according to Greg Stafford's own post at RPGNet it's _not_ a new
system: it's the old one re-written just enough to avoid Copyright
issues...

Does this bother anyone else as much as it does me?

>Now do we need YET ANOTHER Gloranthan rolegame??????

A Gloranthan game for the masses I can see working, I wouldn't even object
(well, not much anyway) to it being called RuneQuest: Mongoose could, for
example, have used tri-stat, which they have apparently acquired the rights
to. But this leaves a rather unpleasant taste in my mouth...

Cheers,
