I don't understand why Chaosium *needs* to keep the reigns on Glorantha? Why not let it become open? The people who currently rely on Greg are still going to, and those who don't aren't anyway. Sure, someone could then come along and make a porno version of Jareel and the Ducks or something... does it really matter? I can only assume that it matters to Greg. Any comments from Greg or Chaosium? Anything Chaosium publishes is *still* copyright to them so they can still make money on Glorantha.
