Steve---

The folks at Issaries have been asking Tadashi on and off for details about any old RQ notes that he may have---before you do sell these, would you please run them by Greg and Issaries to see if they're interested?  If you email me, I'll send you Greg's email address if you don't already have it.

Thanks

I'll run a photocopy and send it to Steve Martin, or a scan. Didn't realize he'd want that.

I'll e-mail him tonight and find out what he prefers.

BTW, anyone have any idea on value?

Well, as soon as Paul has sold my orange princess and the misc. other stuff, I'll send him the maps, unless someone has a better suggestion.

Hope he is ok, his home telephone number keeps dumping me into the Union Pacific voice mail system.

I am pretty sure that I have seen him log on a least once if not a few times over the last few days.

So have I, the voice mail quirk is a strange one.  Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't, just seemed strange.

BTW, I talked with Steve Martin, the maps I have are the same ones he has, so he doesn't need copies.  He is a trooper.

Well, I leave on vacation Friday, lose contact with the internet from Saturday until May.

I spoke to Paul on Thursday or so last week, IIRC, and he was doing fine then, FWIW.

Hmm, turns out that his telephone number in my cell phone got corrupted.

That is really strange.

Anyway, heard from him, let him know I'll be out of town until May 3.  He is going to make a run at selling some misc. stuff and my orange princess.  I should have left it in the shrink wrap (I opened that within the last year, stupid me, just curious).

The cell phone stuff is just weird.  Ah well.

We are going to Paris to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary.

As I understand it, Issaries now has RQ, mechanics and trademark, back. I understand that they are interested in doing a re-release of RQ in the original rules format, as it still has a player base (heck, when I do manage to get out and over, I still play it).

The problem is that they have no one to do it, and Chaosium is probably too busy with Call of Cthulhu and Stormbringer and the monograph series to take the time.

But the possibility is open now, whereas AH had pretty much shelved it.

What it needs is a new release, set somewhere besides Dragon Pass -- such as near what is left of Jrustili or in the Holy Lands/Pharoh's domain or perhaps the Redlands. Glorantha, but another area.

I think the ideal would be to try to draft Paul Jacquays into doing a rules set and scenario based on Sandy Petersen's current campaign. Paul has gone back to art and works for an RTS company, so he may have the mental space for it -- he surely has just the right touch.

Though, you can see my "regular folks" campaign (a campaign for starting characters) at Regular Folks Campaign -- exactly the sort of thing that needs to be packaged with the new rules.
