Of course! The solution for Glorantha! Greg, you *really* should have
seen this earlier. All you had to do was hire a whole bunch of hack
writers and marketing experts, and you would be where E. Gary Gygax is
today. Just think of all those computer games and calendars we never had
the chance to purchase! A New scenario or product EVERY MONTH (erm,
except when you would've gone bust, that is, but that doesn't appear to
be an issue here : You STILL should've made sure us that the Earth Rune
moved for us fan-boys). Oh! And I almost forgot! Freelance novels
written by E G. Gygax! (Oh what we've missed out on!) Professionally
printed and illustrated! (Unlike that amateurish Trollpak and Sun County
nonsense; ANYONE could've produced those rubbishy publications)
OFFICIALLY APPROVED, to boot! Unlike that Questlines and Enclosure
rubbish!
