Mongoose
Ok, so I have RQ Deluxe 3rd edition already and stuff for it. What I would like to know, is what can be said about the mongoose proof-readers this time around considering what happened to me when I bought the first edition of the mongoose CONAN system. Now it sits collecting dust because I was in no mood to turn right around and buy the 2nd “Atlantean” edition of Conan that came out seconds later to correct the whole mess (sorry guys, the minor discount offered wasn’t the way to handle that when it should have been a full refund due to something Mongoose was entirely responsible for). And who wants to (or has the time to) go through a bunch of errata pages and try to correct the first edition themselves. That's what I pay you guys for. So, now here is the new RuneQuest, which seems to be getting flack online for breaking up the manual, and I'm concerned about the proof-reading and if in a month or so a second edition of Mongoose RQ is going to turn up to correct a bunch of spelling problems, and put more stuff into the manual that should have already been in there to begin with, etc. I don’t want to repeat history. So, what’s the deal here guys?? I like Mongoose stuff, but I’m a little concerned this time around probably because Runequest means more to me. I was all geared up to get into buying the new RQ line when it comes out, but now I'm having second thoughts. Maybe I should just get a few of the new RQ supplement stuff when they come out and use it with RQ 3. The RQ 3 system seems more complete as it stands, and I was surprised to hear some of the things about the new RQ system when I came here today. I’d sure appreciate hearing an official(ish) Mongoose take on these concerns. Thanks.
