Pity. I hope they don't screw up the Moorcock games as badly as they screwed
up their "RuneQuest". But I expect that they will.

On the other hand, with any luck Chaosium will have made enough money out of
this (did they sell the rights directly to Mongoose? Does anyone know?) to
support d100/BRP well.
