> I've been looking at both and haven't decided on which to run. A lot will depend on my players preferences. I like RQ II because its familar and easy to learn. HQ looks very interesting but has a higher learning curve. Don't know if my players will like HQ with its emphasis on narration vs. RQ II's crunch.

One caution - RQ II is no longer licensed for Glorantha. Yes Mongoose is doing "Legend" but it is entirely possible RQ 6 will differ with "Legend" with regard to various Gloranthan details. I can certainly imagine as least as much difference between the old Chaosium RQ and the Avalon Hill RQ3.

I am certain RQ6 will be superb and likely the best of the d100 rules systems published to date.

Thank you!
