    Question For Mongoose Staff about proof-readers and more

    "Insulting and hurtful"? What is this - some kind of therapy group devoted to group hugging sessions? Mongoose is a business, and we are customers, or potential customers. We have the right to bring up issues with quality that have occurred in the past, and I am sure they are big enough to...

    Why I won't be buying MRQ

    Why I won't be buying MRQ

    Like many of you, I've been waiting for MRQ for the best part of a year. I've really, really wanted to like it. But, sadly, from the previews I've seen - the last straw being the latest Companion preview - it looks like I'll take my dollar elsewhere. Why? 1. The writing style is verbose and...
