Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Greg declare at the end of G:CotHW
that Glorantha is "yours, not mine"? It seems to me that this statement
amounts to a transfer of final creative control over Glorantha from himself
to a wider body of fans. The whole reason I say this is that complaints
about being Gregged are a symptom of the assumption that Greg is still the
final authortity on the game. This is not tosay that we don't owe Greg a
lot for his efforts or that we shouldn't respect his opinion of things, just
that it's more problematic that it's worth to allow him a veto over
everything that gets produced for Glorantha. Obviously, material officially
produced by Issaries, Inc. is a different matter, since it's his company.
