	Q1: How close is the Myriad RPG System to completion?		== Q1 ==
			How close is the Myriad RPG System to completion?

	~~A1:~~ Um, well "not very" is about all I could answer. It's a large book and I haven't made a detailed timeline of steps and progress and milestones and such. It does sort of depend on how much of it you would actually use for your particular game.		Um, well "not very" is about all I could answer.

	~~A4:~~ Once I get the basic book converted into a game, I'd be happy to consider extending Myriad Lite to include your feature suggestion.

	Q5: Can you give me pre-made items that already have all the scripts in them?		== Q5 ==
			Can you give me pre-made items that already have all the scripts in them?

	~~A5:~~ A fair question, I could... but I haven't spent the time to make items I own that I can freely give away. Also, due to SecondLife's export policy changes in April 2010, even if I made objects, you could not export, save, or back them up because you are limited to backing up items that show YOU as the creator, rather than me.

	~~Q8:~~ If caught, I simply report you to Linden or OSgrid admins and request your account and inventory be removed. You steal my stuff, I return that favor~~. That seems~~ fair.		If caught, I simply report you to Linden or OSgrid admins and request your account and inventory be removed, region blocked, or whatever else impish I feel like at the moment. You steal my ... freely given ... stuff, I will return that favor, just to be fair.

	Q9: What weapons does Myriad Lite work with? I assume it only works with Myriad weapons is that correct?		== Q9 ==
			What weapons does Myriad Lite work with? I assume it only works with Myriad weapons is that correct?

	~~A9:~~ Yep and likely always will because of the Myriad skill system base for combat rather than the underlying simulator physics engine.		Yep and likely always will because of the Myriad skill system base for combat rather than the underlying simulator physics engine.
	This restricts the weapon compatibility, but also "encourages" both parties to combat using the same HUD, rather than some griefer being able to potshot you without even having a HUD/meter on.
