Fans of all flavors are being catered to here.First, those of us who love RQ6 soon to be {TDM House System} can continue to enjoy it playing things like Luther Arkwright, or in the wonderful Shores of Korantia/Age of Treason setting, and forthcoming Chronicles of Future Earth not to mention the myriad settings TDM has been working on that have been "on hold". TDMHS is a great game and I think this is great news for TDM fans.Second, those of us who love Glorantha are going to have a tuned up BRP system in RQ2++ focused on Glorantha play. This will make running Glorantha easier. Not just for grognards, but for people new to Glorantha. RuneQuest is the game of Glorantha. Despite all the hand wringing about the cheese moving, I think when the dust settles well will all see this for the blessing it is. I'm calling this game RuneQuest as it was meant to be called. No need for numbers. Based on the news bits I've read, this is what the folks at Chaosium are calling it too. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" />Finally, it would be nice for a moment to stop and consider all the good will going on behind the scenes. People stepped up to save one of our founding companies of this hobby. Then more people came together to hash out the future of that company and the associated game. They came away with a WIN WIN solution that DID NOT involve petty lawsuits, wasted time or wasted resources. Our hobby's industry is filled with petty lawsuits, grudges and dropped balls. This is NOT one of those moments and is frankly refreshing.Is it hard to juggle all these decisions while trying to finish the important work and obligations pressing down on the new Chaosium leadership? Sure it is. Are they all polished corporate mouth-pieces in $5000 suits and a team of PR sharks and lawyers? No they are not.Look folks. These are gamers and grognards who are making games because they love this hobby. Cut your fellow human RPG enthusiasts a little slack. No one is bleeding, no one is being disrespected and as far as I can tell, no one was harmed.Don't look at the last few months as some guys working out the future of a game, look at it like the huddle of a football game. They just broke the huddle, clapped in unison and now are lined up for the play.Let's wait and see what happens after the snap. Personally, I'm expecting a great game.</blockquote>
