Well, if I had a choice between a Hero wars box set and RoC (you appear to be describing this (excellent) product?), I'd buy HW.Besides, more people will buy the new product rather than an outdated supplement for an unsupported (unless you're already one of us) RPG, don't you think? Most people are not RQ fanatics, after all - -..

BTW, didn't someone (Robin? Greg?) mention at some point that there'd be 3 scenarios? One for beginners, one for "average" (ie high) level play, and one for high (ie heroic) level HW?
