Well yes - Mongoose yanked the open playtest group (without a word to the
group), and whilst I'm pretty sure that a couple at least of the regulars
here are in the "closed" playtest, there really is naff-all to talk about
until something more substantive is made public.

There has been some discussion on this list (
http://www.crashbox.com/mailman/listinfo/rq-rules should help you find the
portion of the archive that's currently online) of MRQ, but until Mongoose
actually produce the long promised preview (or the actual books, or some
definitions and solid terms to back up the empty marketing puff about "a
truly open game") the only thing served by speculation is Mongoose's
marketing - and personally (after the shoddy way the open playtest group,
which had included substantive constructive contributions from people like
Steve Perrin, was treated) I don't think they deserve any more freebies...

Alternatively, I may have taken too many grumpy pills this morning...

Cheers,
