Games supported today may be unsupported tomorrow, whereas OGL content will be around for as long as someone is willing to host it online. I think properly done, clones are perfectly legal and an excellent and hasslefree way to produce material for and introduce new players to a favourite rule system. Please don't discount the value of clones.
I can't let your last line go unanswered though.
Thanks I'll check with them, it would be great to have it officially licensed. Using a clone to publish material for an in print, supported game with the sole purpose to stiff the publishing company just isn't a good way to support our hobby. So, OSRIC is the only way to get new material out there. However, WoTC offers no support for this game at all. WoTC sold some reprints, and I think they're still available in pdf. OSRIC was created for an abandoned, and essentially still abandoned, game. Perhaps he can license, perhaps they'll buy it.Ĭompare this to something like OSRIC. If the OP's project is a worthy one, then try to work a deal with the company. They're also designing it's next generation. Not only is RQ2 back in print, but the company is producing additional material to support it. The reunion band at Chaosium is making a damned fine effort to bring its flagship game back into significant distribution. Then, my suggestion to the OP is to at least first contact Chaosium, and discover their terms. Although you can't say so under the terms of the OGL, of course. The point of an RQ2 clone is not to replace the official rules (which have only recently come back into print, I should note), but to leverage the OGL to produce new material compatible with RQ2.
