I think you find most on this forum. What specifically are you looking for?
some stuff to get you started:
1. There's the wiki. You can access it through the sticky thread on this forum.
2. There's some blogs... take a search and you will probably find a thread naming them.

Okay, there's a lot of threads around here on the forum. What setting do you play in or prefer? Most of the house rules and fan made rules are setting specific.
For example, I can refer you to my signature below where I link to the Eberron (Eberron is an original d&d steampunk world) conversion I have created - but if you're currently looking for mythical and dark-age settings, then you probably won't really care.

Are you looking for MRQII or the original Chaosium/Avalon Hill RQ2 stuff. That stuff is different- but there are still a lot of links for the stuff at the Wiki.
I'm actually participating in an Avalon Hill version RQ2 (3?) game online and it is lots of fun (and a big nostalgia shot!).
But honestly, playing it really brings home what a spectacular job Pete and Loz did with the rules update. Just phenomenal. I can not thank those guys enough for delivering such an awesome system.

For what it's worth, this (from memory) is how I did the Bazz Draconians from DL1 back in the day updated for RQII. It sort of shows how easy it is to take a D&D like critter and translate it to RQ. This primarily uses the Goblin's characteristics with a variation on the Gargoyle's Hit Locations. Note though that this is from the original DL modules (AD&D2?) so might not correspond to however they were updated for later D&D/d20.

Petrification. If a Baaz draconian receives a major wound to a vital location it instantly turns to stone (8 APs) for a period of 1D8 Combat Rounds before crumbling and dying. Any attack which causes a major wound to a vital location risks getting the weapon stuck. The attacker must succeed at an Easy (+20%) Evade skill test or the weapon gets stuck until the draconian crumbles. Any Impale causing a major wound this way will automatically get stuck.

ThatGuy said:
Tangential but
RQ1 - Chaosium
RQ2 - Chaosium (and printed under licence in the UK by Games Workshop)
RQ3 - Avalon Hill (and printed under licence in the UK by Games Workshop)
RQ4:Adventures in Glorantha - Avalon Hill, unpublished , though playtest copies have been available on the internet (though never "officially" afaik)
RQ:Slayers - Avalon Hill, unpublished although later released on the internet by the authors. Largely unrelated to other RQ games in terms of rules and/or settings
to try and bring some relevance to the original question:-
Fan Sites/resources for these earlier iterations of the rules (or for the (open source) MRQ1 or Chaosium's Basic Roleplaying (and their other games that are based on it - Call of Cthulhu, Elric!/Stormbringer, Elfquest, Ringworld, Worlds of Wonder) may not be 100% compatible with MRQ2/Legend, but should be fairly close and relatively easy to convert (depending, obviously on exactly what you want to convert!) - If it's a site you can provide links to, you can always ask for help here anyway!
