[Rq-rules] MRQ "A Real Runequest Game"

[John Pare']

I think it is part of the "Family" of RQ.  First, when one comes out with a 
new version, several things change - wether for the better of the game is 
not an issue.  MRQ is another version of Runequest.  Not only in name.

There were pretty much substantial changes in RQ, RQII, and RQIII, and even 
more in RQ4 (A web rough draft).

MRQ does resemble runequest in many ways, adn I have to admit, they added a 
touch of D20 to make it more appealing to an evergrowing D&D Ruled RPG 
genre.  Now, look at the changes in D&D, AD&D, AD&D 2nd Ed, and 3.0, 3.5 and 
god knows what they will do with the rumored 4.0.

Change is NOT always good.

I feel MRQ has taken back what was once a highly played game and brought it 
with a different scope to ensure a good following.

One thing I commend them in is doing it with a lot of supplements, something 
that was a little lacking in previous versions (or for the sake of 
arguments) none too frequent supplements.

Do you have to like it?  By NO means.  Fact is, it is here, it has a good 
and growing fan club.

Just my four and a half cents...

John
