[...] bit heated there for a little bit. But I saw a comment from a writer on a blog about when the whole “Fudge is dead” debacle started. He hadn’t gotten involved in the list or this particular argument and had no idea [...]

Well, it’s a small world. Besides, you never know, one day I would like to get a chance to visit the “home” country.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the congrats. If this publication goes well, I’m sure I’ll be trying more! I’m really looking forward to getting it out. Now if I’d only get some time to finish it off, all the traffic from the FudgeList is keeping me busy.

As for the FudgeList… hmm. I’m quite annoyed with the last few posts. I wonder has the momentum been effectively killed off? I feel I’m normally quite a reasonable bloke but I’m now biting my tongue so much its starting to bleed.

I do occasionally go to conventions… however I live in Ireland! I’m figuring that might be a problem. Though I’d love to meet you and play a game!

Hey again. Congrats on the publication offer from Brad. He’s got a good sense for things and if he thinks that you’ve got a good game, there’s got to be something to it. I’m just jealous that he got to it first.

People really need to keep in mind that the reports of the dead of Fudge, which happen on a fairly cyclical basis, are always exaggerated. For something that started out as a collection of text files tucked back in a corner of the internet, it has a fair bit of gravity behind it (something that always amazes me). It certainly isn’t going to be going anyway, regardless of what some naysayers think, or how they think that Fudge should be handled. As long as all of us keep making and playing games that other people are interested in playing, there’s going to be life left in this old bird.

I don’t know if you go to any conventions, but if you do and I am in attendance please come up and introduce yourself. Then we can all sit down and play a game.

Chris
