This is probably going way off topic and would be happy to be directed elsewhere to continue but...
...perhaps there should be some fully open discussion on a strategy
for keeping Glorantha alive, and I mean a burning conflagration sort
of life, not a sputtering candle. If Greg maintains a single point
of control and the Friends of Glorantha insist he works on his novels
then the big fella is going to have limited time to enact his role as
nay-sayer with regards to Gloranthan material. He is going to hold on
to it so tightly that he'll smother and choke it to death.
My understanding from his interview with someone recently (rpg net or
mongoose people) that he was now starting to lighten up his grip on
areas he really doesn't care about. Well, that's nice but what can we
write about and what can't we? And the stuff we can't write about,
well the inner circle should write it or should hand the baton to
someone who can and will.
And frankly I think the Friends of Glorantha should be encouraging
Greg to put a fire under source material and myths, not novels.
