I think a Rules Companion is a definite BAD idea. This is starting to sound
like Rolemaster - where the core rules get added to all the time in Rules
Companions and everyone ends up saying refer to RMC X. I don't see why people
say RQ is too complex. Arguably the up and coming system of the day is
Ars Magica. I found RQIII easier to read and understand than Ars Magica. Again
using AM as an example, consider the Werewolf and Vampire systems. These are
to a certain degree, AM Lite. Everybody I know who has played them ends up
wanting more meat, more detail. RQ was the first system I started DMing...
and previous to that I had only played AD&D, and it was very easy to learn.
I have heard much mumbling about people finding RQ too complex. Apart from
AD&Ders, I have not seen such people. Thus I have yet to be convinced.
Peter
