I'm not connected to too many grapevines, myself, so this was the first that I've heard of it.

I did a little bit of Google searching to see if there was any mention of something like this in any of the newsgroups, and I came across nothing at all.  That doesn't mean that there is nothing to this rumor, but it lessens its likelihood to be a strong, serious possibility in my opinion.

Of course, how DQesque a game is could be a matter of considerable range, as well.  One could claim that a re-release of the old Metagaming Melee/Wizard system was DQesque; Harn could be DQesque; maybe just using D100 would be DQesque to someone...

There's always a DQ rumor out there, it seems.  Until there's something substantial behind it, I've given up on tracking these and getting my hopes up.
