I never played RQ1 and have never heard of RQ0 - as a matter of interest, how 
did RQ0 play? Was it very different to RQ2?

As to Mongoose's treatment of the RQ Grandees, that never really bothered me. 
Business is business. The playtest was bad and they clearly weren't bothered by 
what anybody thought. They even started another smaller playtest group full of 
people who's ideas they liked - the result was MRQ1, so that really wasn't a 
good idea.

RQ3
BRP
MRQ2
