[RQ-Rules] Any news of Mongoose RQ?

[David]

I am thankful that you are so involved with the game Steve. That 
certainly lends it more credibility.

Couple more questions, for those in the know:

a) What are Greg Lynch's prior game design credits?
b) What is Mongoose's primary intention for the game? To revive an old 
school classic for the fans, or create a new generic fantasy vehicle? 
Seems like they are not overly concerned about the former, and I am not 
sure there is a great need in the marketplace for the latter, but who 
knows... Someone blogged that the very revival of RQ heralded a shift 
away from the d20 monolith in terms of marketing strategy for mid-tier 
gaming houses like Mongoose. Of course, they may not have a strategy at 
all, apart from leveraging the RQ name to sell a couple thousand books :-\
