Greg Stafford/Issaries owns the copywrite to RuneQuest. Of course if the game system got a facelift, new name, and a change in terminology, anyone could release it.

The author got arrested for some sort of sexual misconduct. I believe the charge was statutory rape. Unfortunately, the media played this up as "the evils of RPGs" like they did with D&D years ago, and it draw a lot of negative publicity. Killing the project.
Mechanically the game was stillf is a rought draft/playtest version and not everything had been worked out. THere were a few changes and not all had been tested.

There is a playtest version of the rules kicking around. Sounds like our local beetle has one.
