[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 9787522, member: 6779310"] Tables aplenty in all the editions I have three - red cover FGU edition, another that I can't check because it's burried, and Rebirth which asserts itself as 4th edition. I know a lot of SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) folk who swear by it, and a another few who swear at it. Note that the FGU is optically reduced from typewritten pages at 50%, so it's small print. I can't even read it anymore without magnification, and preferred magnification even then. Rebirth is uncomfortably small print, too... even on the computer. Lots of tables. I got only one one-shot session in. Mechanically, it's T&T sans encumbrance. And ranged weapons work slightly different. MR works mostly the same. BRP has been continuously in print since 1980 in various editions... RQ starts in 1978, went out of Chaosium to Avalon Hill (and to Games Workshop - same rules, relayout)... then went out of print in the mid 90's. In 1998, AH, who was about to run into non-use loss of trademarks, was going to press with RQ Slayers, but HasBro bought AH, and cancelled the print run. HeroWars was only available starting 2000... MRQ was only in 2006. So, sure, it's their oldest IP, but it was fallow for about 8 years without a percentile version. If you count HW/HQ, about 4 years. [/QUOTE]
