Cursed previews! Now I must have this and I will have to wait months to get it. Damn delayed gratification, it is like high school all over again. :evil: Pavis rising looks good too.....

Great SOTMA. I was a bit hesitant about buying RQ II since I only recently got MRQ, but I've been a big fan of Loz's work over the years so I will definitely pick it up. I'm also excited to see some new settings for RQII that haven't been done in earlier Chaosium versions like the EC settings...

Hey, nothing wrong with getting different versions. I think I have all the different versions of Stormbringer and I bought my share of RQ versions too. Some might think it is a waste of money but for me it is interesting to see what changes in each one. For instance, the AH version of the...

Complete or not that sounds like a great collection.

White Bear Red Moon was a cool board game although since it didn't really have a board...more like a paper, and came in a ziplock bag, it might be pushing things to call it a "board game". Sadly it looked really cool but I never got to play it and the counters still aren't punched after 30...

Agimori. I set myself on fire and ran through a bunch of broos to escape an ambush.

I've been happy with MRQ but I think it is because of my expectations. I've been playing RQ since the 70's and I bought about every game Chaosium had at one time or another...Stormbringer, Hawkmoon, COC, as well as Avalon Hill RQ and even bought RQ's distant cousin Arduin. I've always mixed in...

Well, it is bound in leather....."S&M-RQ"?

Having said all that, the little we've heard from Mongoose about RQII so far sounds good.

That's what I'm talking about. Although leather is a nice touch, they can bind it in Crimson Bat hide for all I care, I just am not looking forward to having to wait for a companion and spell book in addition to the core book. I"m all for Mongoose making money but if I'm going to convert to a...

I'm just hoping that we can go straight to a "Deluxe Edition". I ended up buying the MRQ books separately last time and then buying the combined books later when they pubished them together. I would much rather spend a bit more on a more comprehensive version then have to juggle multiple books...

Blackmail....good touch. Personally I wouldn't march out of Pavis in force or you are likely to have a bunch of Uz waving at you from the walls when you try to get back in.

I got Ruins right around Christmas and I've read the whole thing a couple of times. I thought the ruin generator was pretty good if you want to come up with some random ruins on the fly or are stuck for ideas. The next section of the book lists the types of ruins found in various geographical...

I like the combat tweaks (reactions, CA's) and the new initiative rules since they keep combat between higher skilled foes from bogging down. I like that attack and parry aren't separate weapon skills anymore. I like the new sorcery rules. I like the fact that RQ is supported now and new...

It has been awhile but I think it might help to clarify about the various editions. Chaosium's RQ, also referred to as RQII in some circles had battle magic and rune magic. Battle magic was memorized, reusable, and cost power points every time you used it. Rune magic was learned through your...
