        Right.

        I must say that it was nice seeing so many RQ luminaries
at RQ Con. I went there feeling a little hopeless and depressed
about RQ, but the Con really re-sparked my interest and enthusiasm.
Even though I *still* think Greg screwed my character over in
_Home of the Bold_. 8^>}

        At first run-through _RQ:AiG_ looks great. Much more like a
cross between RQ2 and RQ4 than anything else. This was definitely
worth the wait, and certainly deserves to be published. I do have
a few questions and points, though:

        1) Does anyone have Oliver's email address? His old one doesn't
work, and I have a bunch of specific comments to send to him. Kinda silly
to be a playester when I can't give feedback! 8^>}

        2) I noticed that Jack Dott was at RQ Con. He looked a bit harried,
and I can understand why -- everyone there must have commented on how hard
it was to find RQ material. A friend of mine remarked to him that the AH
marketing people were idiots. Turns out my friend didn't realize who he
was talking to! 8^>} Seriously, only one person I know thanked him at the
Con. Probably all of us should think about dropping him a letter of thanks.
It was pretty brave of him to show up...

        3) Am I the only one whose copy of RQ:AiG lacks the appendices?
I was interested in seeing the character sheet, conversion rules, and
index.

        4) Why is there no longer a longbow amongst the missiles?

        5) The unified hit table is fine with me, but everyone else I
know hates it.

        6) Why do Sorcerers gain the Law Rune as they progress, as
opposed to Priests and Shaman?

        7) Is the plural of shaman 'shaman'? 8^>}

        More later,

-->Pete
