Yeah, but that's just it. Mongoose don't own or even license the Runequest trademark anymore. Or Hawkmoon or Elric. So how can they be offering these? They don't have Conan or Lone Wolf anymore either. The BRP ruleset is Chaosium's so what's Mongoose's involvement here? The link to that Unity...

I would reckon that the Runequest thing on Fantasy Grounds is the Chaosium Runequest. It's their trademark and I can't see why they'd include Legend on it. Legend would need to be its own thing. I don't know how the OGL would work on it though.

Does the OGL say that its only intended for D20 systems? or WOTC systems? Yeah I saw what he said a few posts on. Weasel words. All these aside comments are a challenge, just not in a court room with lawyers and juries. They are designed to sow doubt and confusion. Its mounting a challenge...

Yes. It also means you can't trust anything he says because he seems to amend his position according to how he feels. That does not bode well for a license that has so many restrictions and prohibited things!

So what does Jeff of Chaosium mean when he said on 28 march on the BRP SRD thread: "If you think the Legend OGL is "cast-iron", then you are fooling yourself. Heck, on the face of it, the very license used is invalid."?

Being watching the Chaosium SRD discussion at the BRP site and astounded at how evasive and dismissive the staffers there have been to simple, polite, direct questions. One of the staffers basically told anyone who disgrees with them to 'get lost' and that's not good from a professional company...

No surprises there. There are further issues too… Well, I guess Legend's completely lost out to Mithras, Runequest Glorantha and Openquest. They offer various flavors of d100 gaming at different levels of crunch. Because Legend hasn't been supported *at all* since it appeared, its no wonder...

I saw mention of it on the Chaosium forum. https://basicroleplaying.org/topic/9809-just-a-reminder-there-is-no-ogl-for-brp-rq-or-coc/ I asked what the view was on the Legend OGL and someone said that Legend wasn't listed as OGL anymore. Very glad to hear it still is.

Is it true that Legend is not OGL anymore?

You know, I come back here every once in a while to see if anything has changed and if Mongoose have suddenly decided to support there own game, and nothing is really going on. Cept more emails from jmisbest asking questions about level based games in a forum for a game that doesn't have levels...

Difficult to give you ideas for Legend because you describe everything in D&D terms, which I don't play. What is it your wanting ideas for?

This is basically Aragorn, no? Heir to the throne of Gondor but in hiding because the Dark Lord wants him dead, so he has to become a ranger for years until the means for reclaiming his kingdom is available. Maybe the character's kingdom has been usurped by evil interlopers Maybe the character...

Already done with M space. http://www.frostbytebooks.com/

Thank you msprange, for these words. But why didn't you say them in the state of the Mongoose piece? I can understand and accept competing priorities, but when you completely fail to mention a line 2 years in a row it doesn't just shake confidence it crushes it. Can you share the ideas you have...

http://blog.mongoosepublishing.co.uk/?p=849 Not a single word about Legend. Not. A. Single. Word. Not one. Not a mention in passing, not a breath, not a 'we're doing nothing with Legend in 2018, but haven't forgotten.' Its as though the game doesn't exist and never did exist. Is it fair to say...
