aside: Would it be OK to scan/post any of your other material beyond the Cupric Text pages, as required. Have been following the "free distribution" text on the front page of those for now, although the copyright has clearly not been waived on some of your other material (such as the combat rules! *yay* to those!!).

All of that was a long time before "White Wolf", as I noted before!=Who takes responsibility for the "Radioactive Swamp Slimes", though?!

Maybe I can get Stafford's Heroquest files into distribution as well.Heck, over half the notes in that file are things I wrote.I'll get back on that, but I'm off to bed.

I get the impression that you know more about what I have that I do. Certainly more about the genesis or it, if not the actual text.Do you have/keep notes on your perceived chronology of those early years (and the interactions between the main players), and would you care to share them?I've tracked down one of my discussion threads, David. Check it out.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t= ... highlight=I'm still searching for the others.
