Has anyone heard anything about the release of Heroquest?
I've been waiting quite a while...

  I am a playtester for the Chaosium, the company that will eventually
release Heroquest.  As you may (or may not) know, Heroquest was
scheduled to come out anywhere from 1982 to 1984 depending on where
you saw it advertised.  However, according to Greg (Stafford), we will
not start playtesting until at least early to middle 1985.  Therefore
I would place its release date as middle to late 1986.  But from what
I've seen of the rules, it promises to be fantastic!
  And for all you Glorantha fans, the secret of the Lunar Empire and
the Jrusteli God-learners WILL be revealed to all. (I already know, but
I've been sworn to secrecy).  You know, it's interesting, Glorantha is
the only "campaign world" in which deliberate lies are published.
  By the way, have you gotten a copy of Runequest III yet?

	Yes, I have heard about Heroquest.

	It isn't coming out for a LONG LONG time.

	(even if it does come out, it probably won't be
	worth the money, considering the sorry state of
	Runequest 3).
