Building a new Si-Fi RPG from scratch, with only Martin's past works as
a sales pull? Hard work doesn't do it justice. The marketing needed to
pull it off might cost more than a MongTrav license.
But then:
Rock: Avenger: Hard Place.
If Avenger's current works can be converted to MongTrav then Martin can
utalize the long tail approach with his existing works (and maybe new
sales from an additional fan base) while working on producing more 1248.
It all really depends on the cost of the MongTrav License, and the terms
and conditions therein. Being the first is sometimes a good thing, but
until the license and the cost have been established there is no way to
know.
