[Runequest] Runequest II

[Sven Lugar]

@Simon: I have avoided Mongoose products after their rather shabby 
treatment of Steve Perrin & us Old Grognards of Runequest. So I can't 
really comment on any of the MRQ versions (I only saw the first playtest 
version before they shafted the original Mopgoose playtesters). Other 
than that I totally agree with you on your list other than perhaps 
fitting RQ1 & RQ0 (the playtest version - I evidently own the last 
extant copy & still in the original brown binder) just beneath RQ2. Out 
of curiosity, how would you fit BRP into that list?
Sköl,
Sven
