For some reason I've kept the first page of the first Chaosium
catalog I ever received, Fall 1982. In his editorial Tadashi Ehara
wrote
"Some RuneQuest items have been mentioned in the past as being
planned. Re-examination of our project board has ejected them from
our current schedule. They will either reappear later or not be
mentioned againJ(we promise.)
HeroQuest is on significant exception. It will be compatible with
RuneQuest. The release date for Heroquest used to be "any year now"
whenever we were asked. Now, though, it seems to be pretty firm for
mid-83." Just a few small errors in there:-)
