There is a group of fairly hardcore RQ'rs (primarily 3rd, but their GM has
adapted so much other RQ material I have no idea what version you would call
it to be honest) that have recently purchased and have started playing
Mongoose RQ.  Their reaction was nothing apocalyptic, but said the heart of
RQ is present just in a different package.

People who are going to buy Mongoose's version of RQ will probably never see
the original and half of them will never know there was something before
it.  When D20 D&D came out there was the same hemming and hawing about it
ruining the game and the D&D name.  Though I agree (cause I have a bizarre
hatred of D20) it did what it was supposed to do and that was bring a ton of
new RPG players into a dying piece of the American market.

I like Mongoose Publishing though because they gave me a better, prettier,
and more suicidal Paranoia :)
