Nah, I think Sprange wants to break free of d20, that's why he 
keeps moving towards OGL and simpler versions of the ruleset.

RQ represents for him an opportunity to break free with a simple 
core ruleset that is Mongoose's and which they can publish 
more setting rich and less system rich games. (He said all this 
to me at Dragonmeet 2 years ago, before RQ was on the cards, 
so it flows well.)

BUT they are d20 heads, and it shows sometimes.

I wish they hadn't effed Rune Magic so badly, and most of the 
combat system will go out of the window for me, but hey ho.

Hang on, what does that leave?
