This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

That may be, but MW (especially) is going to suit some people better than RQ6 if that's the only thing you buy or if you don't care to spend a lot of time hacking rules sets or playing an involved system. The same surely applies to OQ.

In addition, I think RQ6 has some elements (mainly around combat sequencing, combat skills, and skill development) which are significant departures from how things have been done in RQ/BRP-land. I can't say if I like them or not but I can imagine reasonable people preferring the "old ways", and not just for nostalgia.

But really, on reviewing the OP (describing the campaign and current system), I think that RQ6 is probably going to be more up their alley.
