- What Is FireBlade Publications¬?
-
-
- FireBlade Publications publishes shareware role-playing
- games and game aids. Most of our publications are not
- computer programs. We've decided to use the matrix of
- computer users and role-players as our distribution channel.
- All of our publications are available via computer bulletin
- board systems and ftp sites.

- What if I can't find any of these?
-
- If you can't find The Magic Stack , The Gallery, or The
- Hero's Guide, and would like a copy, send us the shareware
- price, a blank disk (IBM, OS-9, or Macintosh, 3.5 or 5.25
- inch), and a return envelope with return postage affixed.
- We'll send you a copy. Note that The Magic Stack and The
- Gallery are available only in Macintosh versions. They

-
- What╒s the price?
-
- Remember, our products are shareware. That means you are
- expected to pay for them. However, you are only expected to
- pay once for each product. When new versions come out, you
- are free to download these and replace your old version
- (although if you want us to send you a copy, you will have to
- pay again). Please do pay. Not only does it help us, but it
- may convince other creators to use the electronic
- distribution channel as well.
-
-
- What if I can╒t swing the money right now?
-
- Look, if all we wanted was your money, we╒d shrinkwrap our
- products and sell them sight unseen. We want our products
- used. If you can╒t afford it now, we╒ll wait. Go ahead and
- use the product. In fact, we recommend that you use the
- product long enough to decide whether or not you want to keep
- it, before sending us any money. Send us the payment when you
- have it, and you╒re sure you╒ll like the product in question.
