<p><br />Are you telling me that, after publically dissing my magic rules on the Runequestpt list and saying that they wouldn't be using them, they are actually using them? It was probably Ken's decision and we'll see if they get published, but I think the term "deeply ironic" just got its PhD (Piled Higher and Deeper).</p><p>And no one at Mongoose could be bothered to contact me personally...</p><p>Sheeesh...</p><p>Steve Perrin<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>-----Original Message-----</strong><br />From: tom@zunder.org.uk<br />To: rq-rules@crashbox.com<br />Subject: Re: [Rq-rules] Runequestpt <br />Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2006 10:25:52 -0000 <br /><br /></p><div class="hft-lines">On 28 Feb 2006 at 9:15, <a class="hft-email" href="mailto:Nick.Middleton@invensys.com">Nick.Middleton@invensys.com</a> wrote:<br /><br />> Good manners cost nothing, other than goodwill...<br />He sort of got a tiger by the tail and let go, goodwill will <br />have been lost.

Let's say Ken did a good job, it's a slightly <br />different version of RQ2/3 with Steve's new and interesting <br />RuneMagic rules. It's good since RQ is good, it has little <br />that is radically different, even the new Strike Ranks and <br />Combat Actions are ok, although much more like D&D. <br />You can use the stat blocks with any BRP with minimal <br />roleplayers sense. The opening text about the radical <br />overhaul and modernisation is a bit of a laugh tho', but <br />then again for a d20 player this is still a leap forward.<br /><br />> Indeed, but with myself at least M
ongoose have (yet again...) blotted their<br />> copybook. If it's "number compatible" with RQII/III I'll still be<br />> interested in particular sourcebooks, and as ever what will actual count is<br />> the actual product on the FLGS shelf.<br />They have. The game is fine. I recommend we all give it a <br />fair crack and if it's okay then we evangelise it, it'll get new <br />blood into BRP. You can always then run variant games if <br />you want the old spells back or the SR like they used to <br />be. A published supported game beats a dead one <br />everytime for new players.<br /><br />Tom<br /><br /><br /><br />_______________________________________________<br />RQ-Rules mailing list<br /><a class="hft-email" href="mailto:RQ-Rules@crashbox.com">RQ-Rules@crashbox.com</a><br /><a class="hft-urls" href="http://crashbox.com/mailman/listinfo/rq-rules">http://crashbox.com/mailman/listinfo/rq-rules</a><br /></div>
