A couple of modules and sourcebooks (Conan RPG, Tome
of Drow Lore) and the Wars system, afiak.

A cynical person may suggest that they've got a
trademark and they're going to use it. But they *are*
a business. Of course that said if they write a *very*
good new game they'll sell more than a couple of
thousand...

My feelings on RQM are pretty neutral. It's going to
be initially released as a fairly short book; more
about RQII length, or at least that was the plan. As
such an idea much of the detail (such as character
backgrouns in RQ III) is lost, which is a shame imo,
but there are limits of course.

The new proposed spell system is quite adaptable and
it really is about questing for runes, which is a lot
of fun.

Glorantha has a fairly prominent place in the system.
Not as strong as RQ II, not as weak as RQ III.

All the best,


Lev
