Re: [dq-rules] Rumors

Ah, well, this is the first rumor of this kind that I've heard, so I got 
excited. ^_^
The funny thing is, I said about what you just did to my wife this 
morning when I sent my first reply!  Folks tend to have very flexible 
perspectives when they compare their product favorably with another.  It 
could have almost nothing to do with DragonQuest, or it could be an 
almost exact clone.

Well, hope springs eternal, I guess.
Thanks for the info,
Jim
