[Rq-rules] Sorta OT: Identify RQI Rule Book

[Ashley Munday]

Browny red or green covers usually imply that you've
picked up a second ed. refugee from a box set.
However, if it's stapled together rather than glue
bound, has tables that look like they've been photoset
directly from a typewritten manuscript and has
speedart as a variable spell then it's first edition.

Oh, and it's got the Glorontha typo on the back cover.

Cheers,

Ash
