A note to Loz, Pete and gang

[Loz]

it mentions nothing about combat maneuvers or overall changes in combat in general.

That's deliberate. Combat is something that happens when necessary and as a process for resolution, needs little reference, aside from weapon skills and weapon stats, on the character sheet. The conversion notes are written with the assumption that you'll have the core rules anyway; so the combat process is discussed in detail there.

As an old Warhammer grognard I am very glad abut RQII. It is a Great Game with a perfect timing: since the ffg-guys fumbled their design-skilltest on creating Warhammer v.3, RQII arrived just in time to allow a "Runehammer" homebrew. In fact, WHFRPG should always have been like RQII is. Thanks!

I know it's still early days, and they'll never get to use the brand name, but I'd say that there could well be a market for a spiky, Renaissance-ish era, Warhammer-style setting for RQ2. Now that FFG have gone all boardgamey-radical in their latest version - some fans, apparently still prefer a bit of old school...

I recently received my beautiful, leather bound copy of the MRQ2 Core book, and I have to admit, I am extremely pleased and impressed. Upon first opening the postal box and looking at my copy for the first time, my first thought was, wow, this book was professionally done. The bindings are secure and the covers are not warped. Now that I've read almost all of the book, and reread the combat chapter, my conclusion is that the MRQ2 system is vastly superior to MRQ1 system. Pretty much every issue that I had with the MRQ1 system has been addressed and satisfactorily resolved. You guys did a great job! I still think that the MRQ2 core book makes my MRQ1 system books obsolete, but after reading MRQ2, I'm not bothered by it anymore.
