[QUOTE="HalfOrc HalfBiscuit, post: 5558404, member: 27710"] I'm a big fan of MRQ II - though I'm not getting to play it as much as I'd like at the mo. :( If anyone's looking into it, I would definitely endorse the suggestion upthread to get on to the Mongoose forum - it's a friendly and helpful community and the authors of the core rules are very active and willing to answer queries. I also think it's huge improvement on MRQ I. A couple of warnings do need to be made: the books "Necromantic Arts " and "Lankhmar Unleashed" while advertised as ebing for MRQ II were actually written while it was still in development so aren't 100% compatible. Conversion is pretty easy though. There have also been a couple of error-strewn books. Notably "Arms and Equipment" - for which there is an errata on the Mongoose site - and, I understand, "Cults of Glorantha", although I don't own that book. The magic systems aren't generally that hard to understand I think - with the possible exception of Spirit magic. (Old RQers might like to bear in mind that this is very different from the Spirit magic of RQ 3 - which is now basically "Common magic"). However, there are two very helpful articles in issues 89 and 90 of "Signs and Portents" the free e-zine available on the Mongoose site. [/QUOTE]
