Pues sí, traes magníficas noticias, todo apunta a un "discreto retorno" del RuneQuest (al fin y al cabo el BRP con localizaciones de golpe, críticos y pifias, MRs, Magia Espiritual, Magia Divina, Hechicería..., etc.) pero además con ambientación múltiple (incluso espacial), lo venden como algo "enteramente compatible" con las publicaciones de Moon Design (griffin island y cult compendium).

Otra buena noticia, si no lo entiendo mal, Hasbro (que no Issaries) de momento dice que no tiene interés en el texto y cuerpo de las reglas, de manera que se queda sólo el nombre de fábrica (que obviamente para nosotros es lo de menos).

Os pongo lo que he recopilado.
