Thanks for the response and the link. I'm not a Cthulhu-ite or a Glorantha-phile and thus rarely frequent sites that cater to those interests. That, of course, doesn't excuse poor scholarship on my part--search engines defer neither to the Ancient Old Ones or to the Lunar Empire :-). At the time, I was wishing, very strongly, that something could be posted on Chaosium's blog or news page, or even here, about BRP/MW. Since my post above, things have changed on that front considerably...particularly with these forums becoming an official voice and ear for the new company--hence your post.
Keeping the BGB available and making sure its image appears on the new forum banner is appreciated. I noted it right away as I signed on and thought that was cool. You have high hopes for the new Chaosium, as well you should!--I can only imagine some of the brainstorming sessions you mover-and-shakers have had :-). BRP is changing, morphing into something not necessarily unfamiliar but definitely new and different...RQ6ish different. Please understand though, I had high hopes too--now that the company was in competent and creative hands (yours and the new crew)--that BGB BRP and MW would get the handling they deserved. I was anticipating aChronicler's Companion and things similar toWind on the Steppesbut from Chaosium itself this time published with the benefit of a coherent vision and plan. I couldn't help but feel a little sad that this was (and is) not going to be.
Regardless, thanks again for taking the time to post and reply with the grace and manners of a gentleman despite my harsh and emotional words in "The End of an Era...". Forum traffic has risen dramatically since your announcement. I hope it is a good sign for both the company and "...the tribe..." :-)
I wish both you and the company good luck and Godspeed.
