RQ II Scenarios

[JayeAeotiv]

So I've read through the core rules, and skimmed through most of the Glorantha 2nd Age setting. I have a notebook full of adventure ideas and plot hooks that I've used in other tabletop games, but when I try a system I've never run before, I prefer to use some published scenario to get a good feel for the game. Am I missing something? I'm not finding much of anything.

There's a free scenario on the Mongoose Living Glorantha web site.

There is at least one more complete scenario that is just awaiting final checking before being posted to the same place.

The idea is to have a regular scenario posted up for people to run as well.

I suppose that people can't publish their homegrown stuff, or there's no 3rd party publishers since RQII isn't under the open license?

Of course anyone can publish their own scenarios. I would hope that Mongoose would not be over-zealous pursuing private individuals for trademark violation. As to third parties, I don't know whether a licence is necessary or not, but even the old OGL stated "You agree not to Use any Product Identity, including as an indication as to compatibility, except as expressly licensed in another, independent Agreement with the owner of each element of that Product Identity." so third parties gained no right to print "RuneQuest" on their product through that licence.

Well there will not be any commercial third party Glorantha stuff I think - the licensing would be too difficult as there would be three parties involved.

Commercial third party stuff in other worlds (including third party settings). Well there is already one licensee - Clockwork & Chivalry.

I'm pretty sure that home-grown stuff is fine. Every system under the sun as home-grown fan pages and fan scenarios out there. As long as people don't claim it is official, don't rip off text/graphics from existing books, and don't charge there really shouldn't be a problem. It is all about being sensible.
