Chaosium has created two CCPs - the Miskatonic Repository (for Call of Cthulhu) and the Jonstown Compendium (for Glorantha).

If you listen to the chat with Chris Pramas, toward the end he discusses his experience with the OGL. He notes both the hostility toward it from within WOTC but also some from third-party game makers. As a related aside, Chris Lindsay has said that it took him 4 years to persuade WOTC to create...

Those who are interested in the OGL may enjoy the following. It's an interview between Peter Adkison and Ryan Dancey that was posted up on the Gen Con channel just a few weeks ago: Toward the end of the interview, they spend some time discussing the why and how of the original OGL license...

I think Myrlund was by Don Kaye, who was also into Westerns

Rob Kuntz is one of the originals and also writes the occasional article here.

I was very sad to hear of his passing.

I'm old enough to remember people making the exact same argument about the SRD that WOTC released back in 2000. People complained that it was a "license to breath" and that WOTC couldn't stop people from using the protected terms. As we all know, the D&D SRD became a successful and important...

So long as it's not substantially similar to the CoC sanity rules, then you can create your own sanity/madness/shock/stress rules.

On the other hand, there is an opportunity here for someone to create a "Sorcery for BRP" supplement, kinda like Kobold Press did with "Deep Magic" for 5e. I suspect even a short supplement on the Under $5 ribbon would get some attention if released soon.

I think this is a great initiative by Chaosium. At the moment, I can go to DTRPG and pick up a game labeled 5e and know broadly how it works. The same with games labeled for the OSR. Having games labeled for the BRP has the same advantage. Someone above complained about having to put a logo on...

Some games (such as Pathfinder) are using the word "ancestry" now instead to avoid the connotations of "race".

From what I can see, at this point TSR were very much trying to increase the professionalism of the whole operation. Having said that, they still hired a lot of folk out of college who were enthusiastic gamers, and (apparently) a lot of relatives of the owners.

Here you go - no need to buy, sight unseen ;)
