Sorry if this thread is not going to be collecting-related, but I would not know where else to post it.
I have been using AD&D Core Rules 2.0 for a VERY long time now. It is a very useful program for AD&D 2nd Edition. Unfortunately, with the advent of 3rd, most people switched, and now the Core Rules have been substituted by e-Tools. Core Rules is obviously outdated, and the few people who still have an interest in it are we old-school AD&D nerds.
In addition, it seems that Evermore, the company that produced it, has disappeared. I don't know if they ever published anything else beyond Core Rules 1, 2 and 2 Expansion, however I think they don't exist anymore. Even their old website (
http://www.evermore88.com/) doesn't respond anymore.
So what I thought was this: since there is no profit anymore on this product, wouldn't it be very interesting if the sources were GPL'd? This way, someone (of us old-school AD&D nerds) could pick them up and keep up the work on this tool as an open-source project. I think there are many possible improvements which could be done to the software, and I'd be in the first line to work on it.
Is there someone here in the forum who has any contact with the old Evermore people? Anyone who knows where those sources have gone now and who owns them? Moreover, is there some old-school AD&D nerd like me who would be interested in a GPL'd version of Core Rules?
