[Rq-rules] Mongoose Runequest

[Peter Maranci]

I hate to admit it, but I only just realized that "ld" was a typo (and that
it was a lowercase L, not an uppercase i). Sorry if I sounded like a
smartass.

I have to admit, I wonder how I'd feel about MRQ if I had a different
opinion of Stafford. But it only takes a moment's reflection: I'd still
dislike it rather intensely. The design choices that were made show clearly
that the people who wrote MRQ neither appreciated nor really understood what
made RQ such a great game.

I'll refrain from mentioning...um...another system which may come out soon.
:D
