Smoldering Wizard's Old-School Gaming Forums

Hi, I'm Sean 'geordie racer' Wills and I posted on the old S&W forum from 2008 onwards.

EDIT - Aaaannnd I'm member #13. Of course ! :mrgreen: You're welcome, I felt the same way, as you probably rea...

Thanks for joining, Tomkin and Chainsaw.

My experience is similar to yours, Chainsaw, I started playing WB right after it came out and after many years away from gaming. I'm still playing it.
