They don't have to - Issaries is already doing that... See: 
http://www.issaries.com/fan_policy.html and the formal policy document 
(at http://www.issaries.com/inc/FanMaterialPolicy.pdf). Since Issaries 
owns the trademark "RuneQuest" these policies apply to RuneQuest sites 
as well.

Whether all parts of the policy are legally enforceable is debatable. A 
website owner is certainly not bound by the policy just because he 
mentions "Glorantha" or "RuneQuest" on his website.
