The RuneQuest 6 guys put out their free off of Mythras with the core releasing Julyish. Looking through it they were not kidding about the formatting. The free document is now down to 34 pages (previously 203 pages) making it very much a lightweight game without a lot of detail.
I like the new layout a lot, it's a much better rules reference now and the new character sheet is an improvement. I think I might pick up the full core book instead of relying on my RQ6 book.

What's going on with Runequest IP? I read in another thread that Chaosium is releasing their own 7e? It seems like 6e just came out and was barely supported.

6e came out in 2012, has an active community, 4-5 setting books, 4-5 supplements, a few adventures, a combat effect app for android, and gets continued support as Mythras. That's not bad.
Chaosim took the license back for 7e and then announced they are making it a reprint of 2e. And that's after they flat reprinted 2e.

Huh. Then there's the Heroquest line... I guess I don't understand why the owners of the IP (whoever they are?) are licensing it out to competing publishers. Seems crazy for such a niche product.
I'm reading through Mythras light and it appears to cover futuristic combat and skills appropriate to a scifi setting. I didn't realize they were going in that direction.

Well...
And they seem to want to make something out of their Arkwright-license.

Oh god is this even any good

They're basing RQ7 on the RQ2-core, not copying it. There is a slight difference..

The hack specifically mentions that it is not meant not cover the prequels. That alone makes it decent.

It is also as close to an OGL as we're likely to see from TDM. So that could be interesting.

It's great. I played it for 6-7 months before switching to FFG and suffer the disappointment.

Classic Fantasy is on my shopping list. I'm going to get it when I get Mythras.
