        It just occurred to me that Greg Stafford is the Crimson Bat of the RuneQuest community. Sandy Petersen, Steve Perrin and others have the skill Greg Mastery and keep him in line. But accidents do happen, and occasionally Greg goes out of control and creates Chaos Features (such as Elmal) or ravages parts of the Empire (invalidating months of playtesting efforts).

        Just as the Red Emperor is hostage to the clique of the Crimson Bat cult hierarchy to minimize havoc, Avalon Hill must cater to the Chaosium cabal to prevent Greg from running amok.
