To cast the net a bit broader there are a lot of people who think a
role playing game is something soley associated with computers. This
would be an even larger audience for the publishers of RQIV to aim for.

In my humble opinion chances are that established gamers will know
RuneQuest by reputation and I postulate that this reputation was
established by RQ2.

After all the great difficulties of obtaining a copy of RQ2 could easy
turn into a selling point for RQIV.
