Oliver Jovanovic, the primary overseer of the rework and playtest got arrested for sexual battery and possibly enslavement; he essentially hooked up with a woman he'd met over the Net for a BDSM encounter that apparently went wrong. While no one but the participants know what really happened here, its to be noted that he was initially convicted but was freed on appeal sometime later, and the indications from the appeal court was that the original court screwed up big.

Avalon Hill sold quite a lot of product to a younger audience so they severed their connection like a machete when this happened.

It's a court case of interest to a lot of people, becides just RQers: People v. Jovanovic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Do a google search on Oliver Jovanovic and there's a lot of information and it's really a pretty scary scenario.

The version I have is very mechanical, lots of combat actions, movement is an action, hex-based combat, lots of strategic options. Not my cup of tea, really. Spirit combat was interesting and I adapted it for my own version of spirit combat. Sorcery was a bit better than RQ3.

So, I wouldn't say it was far better than RQ3, although it is different.

It's worth having, though, just to see what could have been the next version of RQ and comparing it to RQM and BRP.

It's copywrited work, so I'm not going to do that, even if no-one would probably care. I've sent an email to those who expressed interest though. Anyone else who wants it, send me a pm.

Its about 36 MB, so email is typically out at my end, though I could send it out from my Yousendit account if there's enough interest; it just takes a while for me to upload it to them since I'm on dialup, but it won't choke out the way my email would.

The pdf I have is 5 mb, and it's the same as the 36 mb one.
