Some follow up news on the new draft.
So far it looks like we'll be on schedule for RuneQuest Con (barely).
I'll be handing out some 20 odd copies of the new draft to
playtesters there, then following up with more mailings after
the Con.
Brian, in response to your question, the new draft has
a lot of changes from the second draft (which is now over
a year old and very out of date). Combat is one of the areas
that has seen a number of changes and simplifications. I will
add you to our list of interested playtesters, but can't
guarantee you a copy of the draft at this point.
In response to an earlier comment, damage bonus has seen adjustments
for exactly the points brought up.
With respect to the comments about RQ2, RQ2 had some excellant ideas,
and certainly was simpler to deal with in a number of ways. In some
areas the new draft is probably a bit closer in spirit to RQ2 than RQIII,
but it differs from both in a number of areas, with what we hope
are significant improvements over both RQ2 and RQIII.

P.S. David, neither Carl nor I posted the second draft to an ftp site.
