Well, I am glad that I shelled out the cash for these (total of like $55 for all booklets and shipping). I was pissed off at the time because it thought it would be like what the BRP Zero edition is today. I felt tricked when I received them and discovered that they were actually the RQ3 books with the serial numbers filed off. It was partly my fault as well because I didn't do any research before I purchased them. I randomly decided to visit Chaosium's website and saw several monograph books for BRP and assumed that it was a revised and greatly expanded version.
Don't dispair though; if you own RQ3 then you have the BRP: the Chaosium System monographs. All you have to do is delete any reference to Glorantha and you are good to go!
