RQ0 is the original playtest and development rules when Steve Perrin
was writing & distributing photocopies of the latest changes. I
still have my original 2" ringbinder chock full of those ancient
photocopies. It is what would become RQ1 once it was finished.
Obviously a very limited edition but just what was used at one time
to distinguish the versions after RQ3 came out.<br>

RQ0 - as a matter of interest, how did RQ0 play? Was it very
different to RQ2?</div>

<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 10pt;">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.</div>
