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

[John Pare']

Albiet maybe suttle changes in the first two versions, there were changes.   
III changed it all...

Still, there were changes.

RQ (any version), MRQ, Herowars ---  it is all a matter of personal 
prerspective of the game.  I too was an adversary of it, till I broke down 
and got the first book.  Than what to my wandering wallet should be apprear? 
  All the damned books they have.

It is all a choice to each person.

No one is right, and no one is wrong..

I chose to get it, I like it, and I will continue to buy the books.

Needles to say, older versions are hard to come by, "Most" people cannot 
afford them.
