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.
Our Products
The Magic Stack: The Magic Stack is a Hypercard 1.2.5 stack
that helps you keep all of your original spells in one place
-- on your Macintosh. The shareware price for The Magic Stack
is $5.00. If can't find The Magic Stack, you can send us
$5.00 and a blank Macintosh disk with a return envelope and
return postage.
The Brand X Hero's Guide: The Hero's Guide is intended as
a gamer's aid for the Brand X super-hero role-playing game.
Much of the information is useful for any super-hero gamer
and game master. The shareware price for The Hero's Guide is
$5.00. The Hero's Guide is distributed in postscript format
as well as in Microsoft Word 4.0¬ format. If you would like a
printed version, send us $10.00 plus $2.00 for
shipping/handling (United States only). If you live outside
of the United States, write first.
The Brand X Gallery: The Gallery is three things. First,
it's a collection of heroes and villains for your Brand X
super-hero campaign. Second, it's a Hypercard 2.0 stack that
you can use to store your heroes and villains. Third, you can
use it as a publishing tool to distribute collections of your
own heroes and villains. The shareware price for The Gallery
as a collection of heroes is $2.00. If you would like a
printed version, send us $8.00 plus $1.00 for
shipping/handling (United States only). If you live outside
of the United States, write first.
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
require Hypercard. Make checks payable to Jerry Stratton.
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.

How do I use postscript files?
Most of our publications are distributed, electronically, in
postscript format, or in Microsoft Word 4.0¬ for the
Macintosh.
If you wish to preview the publication before printing, the
Previewer is highly recommended (for Macintosh users). This
is a printer driver available via anonymous ftp from info-
mac, at sumex.stanford.edu, in the util directory.
