I'll look forwards to reading this. I see you're running it using OpenQuest. It could very simply I reckon be run using HeroQuest should anyone want to. For the record I'm the person who did the MRQII conversion. Of course, Mongoose and Issaries parted way before the second edition was published so they agreed to simply host the whole thing gratis on the website. This means that the layout is simply a Word file printed to PDF so there is no finesse involved.

This is more of a list of general conversation but I urge anyone here who hasn't previously read the campaign to go and get it for free while it's up. Gareth Hanrahan's text is superb and dripping with Gloranthan goodness. The manuscript itself is something like 95% system free in the running text with all the mechanics put in the appendix so there's no need to be a RQer to enjoy it. You can get it from
http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/home/detail.php?qsID=1777&qsSeries=39

For those so minded, there's also another freebie adventure on the same page: A River Runs Up It. It was work in process for Living Glorantha. It's an attempt to work out a This World quest that goes badly wrong when the God Learners get involved. Again, 95% of the mechanics are in appendix at the end so hopefully it will be of interest.
