There's nothing official that I know of, but I've done some analysis of the Monsters book that could help. it's here

I have to admit that it made me want to go home and play RuneQuest, which is either a complement to the film or a complement to the game (since I own over 70 RPGs and that's the one it sparked). Could be both of course.

Oooh, let me think. Must have been Maelstrom (published in paperback by Penguin I think) back in about '82ish. Followed by a bit of D&D Red Basic Box a couple of years later and then it's gets terribly complicated because I don't think there's been a time since '88 that I wasn't playing at least...

I'm still learning this system and haven't actually run it yet (first attempt will be on wednesday), but it seems to me that the following points should make sense... 1. Some types of armour are easier to bypass than others, so modifiers to the roll for armour type worn ought to be applied. 2...

Does anyone have the Dragonewts book? I want to confirm that a Tail should have the same HPs as a Leg and that seems the most likely place to find out. As you might gather from that, I've reached Dragonewt in my analysis of the MRQ Deluxe monsters and so far it's making a kind of sense. Most of...

Indeedy. Future Shock Syndrome is what happens when the futility and stress of life in the Big Meg flips a switch in someone's head and they start looking for a way to "let off steam". We see the same thing today in American High Schools, so Futsies are one of the more comprehensible aspects of...

Probably the closest thing we have to cinfirmation is the final column on the HP Chart it Character Creation, which states that PCs at least get +1HP per location for every five extra SIZ+CON. Based on the work already done on this thread I'll make a start on that chart, but I'm also running...

Well, that makes it easy to adapt creatures to larger or smaller forms, but you're still relying on pinching the Hit Locations from an existing creature for new monsters. A compiled set of all the hit location tables with their appropriate mods (an MRQ version of the one that came in RQ3) would...

If I remember correctly (need to go find the box now) Ralian is the language used in, say Sefelster, but the Orlanthi (in Lankst for example) would speak something from the Ralios sub-family, which descends from Theyalan. Same area, similar name, totally different language. Now from here on in...

Picked up the Deluxe Book today in order to get into the new edition and I'm very impressed with both the specific book and this version of the game. Well done Mongoose. PS. Yeah, the binding on mine is dodgy too. Time to talk to the Mongoose, I feel. 8)
