	My understanding is none.
	Mongoose have released a new edition of their own RuneQuest, 
significantly different in rules, which they are calling RuneQuest 2, 
but I think everyone but them will probably be calling MRQ2 in order 
to avoid confusion.
	My understanding is that the Basic Roleplaying System 
currently offered by Chaosium
http://basicroleplaying.com/content.php/34-Basic-Roleplaying
	seems to be some bits of rules from Call of Cthulhu, some 
from RQ3, with the rules for magic/other extraordinary powers from 
several different settings (Stormbringer, Hawkmoon, Elfquest, 
Superworld, etc). Several of the supplements for it look to be 
straight RQ3 reissues, though.
	Anyone taken a look at it?
	Cheers

PS just about everything ever made by Chaosium that isn't part of a 
game line sold to someone else (like Pendragon) seems to be available 
as a PDF from them now. Not just odd games like Nephilim, but going 
all the way back to All The Worlds Monsters, beloved of munchkin D&D 
players in the early 80s!
