>The RPG was at the printers when Hasbro bought Avalon Hill months

>Some of the chapters are BIG, ranging from about 500k to 1mb apiece,
>because they contain a great deal of the original color artwork (even
>at 72 dpi it's big!)

>RQ: Slayers bears little to no resemblence to the original RQ game or
>Chaosium's Glorantha setting. This was largely due to contractual
>reasons... see above.
