Me too (although I began later than you)! I already knew and liked the BRPS, and I converted to RQ because of Vikings - still my favorite RQ supplement. At the time I loved historical settings and gritty realistic systems. The latter were quite fashionable *then*.

I think so. It's a really storytelling system, in the sense that it encourages you to tell and write stories, and is very experimental and innovative (mind-stretching, some might say).
