Vedr. Re: Vedr. [Rq-rules]Signs & Portent

[Peter Maranci]

Oh, I'd never suggest *excluding* discussion of MRQ from the list - that
wouldn't make sense. Nor should any BRP-derived game be off limits, although
intense discussion of games such as CoC which have their own lists (there IS
a Call of Cthulhu list, isn't there?) should probably take place ON those
game-specific lists.  Likewise, I imagine that in-depth discussion of
Glorantha probably belongs on the Glorantha list rather than here.

Which is all just my opinion, of course, and you know what they say about
those. ;-)

I will admit that if this list fell under the control of Issaries or
Mongoose, I'd be inclined to sign off. But that's a very unlikely prospect -
right?

This thread has made me wonder...what if someone announced a plan to
commercially publish their own version of Glorantha "using different words",
and to release it under some type of OGL? The word "lawsuit" leaps to mind.
:D
