I think so, the MeWe and Reddit S&W groups are dead. And I don't really see mention of S&W much in the bigger forums (OD&D, Dragonsfoot). Given the popularity of FMAG, it's too bad Matt never did anything more with WB. It always seemed to me that that game in particular had the most active community, but I think it wasn't really his thing, despite his name being attached to it (plus there was that whole falling out thing with Brave Halfling and Marv, which ended amicably enough but I think put a damper on 3rd party support for the game).
Seriously though, if I were to do anything like that it would have to be an open-source equivalent that respects the user's privacy. Revolt seems promising but it looks like it is under heavy development still and may not be very stable.There is a group on Facebook, and a couple decent OSR groups that still have S&W and FMAG top of mind. They're small, but dedicated. I keep the drumbeat on there for people to check out this place, because people do ask questions. I'm also one of the bigger FMAG evangelists on FB, and trying to do my part to keep up the cadence. I always feel great when someone who had no idea what S&W or FMAG was comes back and posts with a "Hey, that's cool, I'm getting this to try" or similar. Before I made it here I'd never heard of FMAG, and never paid a bit of attention to S&W. Between this and Basic Fantasy, this is the cornerstone of my RPG action.merias wrote: ↑Fri Apr 01, 2022 5:35 pmI think so, the MeWe and Reddit S&W groups are dead.
