[RQ-Rules] Re: New RQ

[Bjorn Stolen]

Well, I like it because it steems with idealism, and it is there (unlike RQ3 
wich haven't had anything new for 10+ years) I play RQ3 with my own 
houserules, and I will be ever thankful to Heroquest for their publications 
as I use them as sourcebooks to fill in the blanks (important areas that 
never even were described in RQ3), and to provide me new inspiration for the 
areas I allready know about. I've bought the rulebook for HQ, and consider 
using that system when (if) my players go Heroquesting on the Heroplane.
