You're assuming here that my entire thrust was to try and clarify the issue so that I could publish some of my own material. Instead, I merely trying to clarify the situation for the RQ/Glorantha community as a whole. Can we agree that RQ players have tended to hold on to what they have rather steadfastly? Many, many players (myself included) play RQ2 to this day, using RQ3 materials only as far as they can be adapted for use in the older system. Now that GtG is on the way, that situation will only get worse, as RQ2 and RQ3 players that refuse to switch are forced to adapt GtG materials to fit their games. What I was discussing was RQ players' rights to continue to use the product they purchased if they choose to. My goal here was a little broader than the narrow brush you've swabbed me with...

Pardon me, I mean no disrespect to anybody here, but don't you think it's even a tiny bit presumptuous for you to assume that everyone who wants to publish something would want to publish in Tales, Drastic Resolutions, etc.?

I made no such attempt. I merely discussed some of the vague areas and asked for a clarification...

I'm sorry if your hackles were raised, but not everyone's were...
