Excellent News! Many Thanks...
Rurik, the Attacker Fails vs. Defender Successfully Parries cell now reads Attack Fails.
Bear in mind, I don't think that one person responding to this thread has been able to confirm (as yet) that these new tables actually exist. For all I know this is one misprinted copy that will presumably be worth a fortune in years to come...

So, just to be clear, the two roll system is definately not used now? This whole thing is just confusing me!
From reading the rules where it states that a parry or dodge can only be used against a succesfull attack I had surmised myself that two rolls were required.
Does it still state dodge or parry reactions can only be used against succesfull attacks in the second printing?

There is an official clarification for download under the Runequest Core Rules download section on the main site, and also right here. It is called the Players Guide, which is about to become confusing as there is a book called the Players Guide to Glorantha about to hit the streets in a day or two.
The official rule is 1 roll. Normally the Attacker Fails row of the combat table is never used.
Some people play with two rolls anyway, and it works very well. The only problem is that many players have expressed dislike for needing two attack rolls (plus the attacker gets 2 chances for a critical while the defender gets only one).

Sorry to be harping on about a subject that is now boring me, but an important one nonetheless, I have now seen two copies of this 'second printing' and know that it is not just some one-off freaky thing.
So, in the wake of just managing to wrap my head around the first set of combat rules, and getting the date for restarting my RQ campaign but with the new rules, and having four of our group of eight with the rules, albeit an even split between first and second printing (thanks for that), I am just about ready to go.
Really excited about the new system, especially about the fact that my group can actually purchase it, so please, tell us what the score is with this second printing thing - I still have time to re-adjust to the second if it's definitive. I haven't printed or laminated my GM's screen - it can all be changed...
Best to all,
Stu.

We have the crack RQ team working on this - they begged a little more time, but promised the wait would be worth it. I'll get the pliers out and obtain updates for you as things develop. . .

That explains the glitches - thought they'd be able to work faster though. I guess they're kept busy deleting threads they don't approve of, like ones saying MRQ has gone too far towards D&D and may introduce character classes in the next version...

Not surprised...that's a stupid suggestion and completely unfounded

My gripe with the thread deleting around here is that that thread started as a constructive thread. A new GM had questions and there was some good discussion about the rules.
I'd much prefer they just deleted or edited the offending posts rather than toast the whole thread.
Back in the 'good old days' when thread deletions were common around here many a good thread was deleted after pages of reasonable exchange because someone came along at the end and ranted.

Not going to happen on a Saturday - even Mongoose writers get the (occasional) day off
Seriously though, this will be done right, not done quick. There are many things we have to consider in this review that could have implications down the road so, please, bear with us.
