Smoldering Wizard's Old-School Gaming Forums

All things (now? seemingly?) considered and also the fact that WB:FMAG is only just now (and happily has quickly enjoyed) it's own identity, why change anything? Why not keep it as is/was? If a "The" or a lack of "game" doesn't matter in the long run (and if it did, then why not change the name whol...

Not a lawyer, but Matt is, so... True. Worth noting and thinking about. I could be mistaken, but I thought once a license of this sort is issued, and you properly reference it, it's a done deal. Matt can change his license all he wants, but it then becomes another license entirely. Maybe someone wi...

Eric Norred kept plugging away to get WB supported/improved long after most of the initial S&W fans had migrated to Labyrinth Lord (seen as a more stable platform and more accurate clone of Basic than S&W was of OD&D + GH). I did. Gah. I tried so very hard to "bump" the issue now and again without ...

I would like to know what leaving it to the fans means? Was that discussed at all back then? The ability to remix and republish, rather than just supporting though supplements and adventures, if I remember correctly. Matt actually posted a thread a while later asking 'well, what have you done with ...

The first version was a faithful, polished clone of his draft, and the second version was the same, but split up into a players' book and a referee's book (I had just chopped the draft down the middle, right after the spells section). The only response I got was "How did you do this?". I replied, b...

Yeah. This is kinda weird so I too am curious as to the "why"'s.
But just to clarify, I'm not saying this in a negative way. Sounds good to me (he said, after he belly-ached too much about the perfectly fine previous name lol).

I have to be brutally honest: I honestly cannot believe it's been over a year that the new forum has been active. Awesome. Here's to the following year! Then again, I also simply cannot believe it's been near 33 years since ten-year-old me saw The Last Starfighter on opening night in our (then tiny ...

I suppose I can't say what John's reasoning at the time. I suppose he wanted full control to the extent he didn't even wish to fool with complying even with the S&W's OGL details and wanted to distance himself from it enough that his company's game would really be his company's game. I dunno. But, t...
