Design Mechanism has launched a crowd sourcing project via Indiegogo in order to produce a hardcover edition of their excellent RuneQuest 6 system. The campaign is now live, with further info to be found here. (Also available at the Indigogo site are a couple of links to reviews of RQ6.)
I would like to emphasize the high-quality of the RuneQuest 6 system. It is, in my judgement, the best fantasy role-playing game to have been produced in the past two decades. The softcover version of RQ6 is wonderful -- it has an attractive matte cover, and is extremely well laid out. While the length of RQ6 may seem overwhelming at first, the core system itself is intuitive (it is a BRP-derived game, after all), and the length of the book reflects its completeness (in contrast, say, to its threadbare close cousin Legend).
If you are curious about RQ6, here is a video overview.
To get a hardcover copy of RQ6, one needs to commit $50 (plus shipping, which is $15 in North America, $25 everywhere else). This is a great deal, as it means that the hardcover version actually is less expensive than the softcover version presently for sale!
Best of luck to Design Mechanism on this endeavour. I'm looking forward to holding the tome in my trembling hands sometime this autumn...
