[Glorantha] WoG - list, my take

Personally I'm happy of the existence of the WoG list. Having a list that Greg reads and comments on has been a great boon, and only intensified my love affair with Glorantha.

As a GM and avid roleplayer I have to agree with Greg. Glorantha is his baby, and ultimately is his to do with as he wants. We are all free to do whatever we want with _our_ own interpretations of it, but it's still his baby. If Glorantha was my creation, I'd do the same.

The people who get jealous and possessive about their own contributions should, I think, re-think the issue a bit. If you must have control, create your own fantasy epic. If you with to work with offiscial Glorantha, accept that it you are basically fans and helpers instead of co-authors with equal rights.

I wonder what it is with Glorantha that creates this problem? I don't think fans of 'A Song of Ice and Fire' get hissy with George R.R. Martin when his books don't turn out like they would prefer, nor does anybody (I know) try to tell Rowling how to write the next Harry Potter book.

I love to tinker with Glorantha, but I don't think it's my place to demand anything from mr. Stafford.
