How did you find out about Wesnoth?
Moderator: Forum Moderators
Actually, I found Wesnoth through a long and twisted path of URLs starting at RadioRivendell (my favorite internet radio station) then some game music link in the forums took me to abandonia.com, and from there I somehow found the Underdogs website. Voila!

I discovered Wesnoth
simply by browsing games online until I read a review, then popped in here and guested my way thru several topics, decided to give it a go on my slackware 10.2 system and loved it so much it now runs on my FreeBSD box at home, with a semi permanent server for friends to log into and play...
Wesnoth is AWESOME.

When draken blood flows east....put on the teapot for I wont be long from home.
I found about it while reading on commercial games for linux on the official forums of Ubuntu Linux. There was a thread on "What is your favorite commercial game for linux" and someone said wesnoth. Of course it was quickly pointed out a few posts later that the choice was bad since it was GPL. It picked my curiosity and I wanted to learn more and... well here I am.
And yes I'll have to try linux this summer.

And also the other day I went to visit a friend, who I have given that version (0.6-7?)... jejje... really surprised to see how this has changed since these days...

I found Wesnoth version 0.8.11 on a NetGuide (an aussie internet magazine) disk. Quite goodluck, too. But some campaign files are a bit corrupted, so I can't play campaigns properly. So I just play the AI, still fun.

This game totally makes up for all of the crappy games that site is flooded with.

Sourceforge and gamedesign-l
I think someone mentioned it on gamedesign-l when I was searching for games meeting various criteria. Sourceforge is the reason I eventually played it. It met certain project specs that I was interested in.
Taking risk where others will not.

A discussion on [url]news://rec.games.roguelike.nethack[/url] as Wesnoth shares both an open source nature (Nethack uses a modified GNU Emacs licence, which formed the basis of the GPL v1) and a fantasy setting (although Nethack is a little more Moorcock and a little less Tolkein, e.g. its elves are chaotic). Wesnoth needs an ASCII graphics mode! (which would be awkward with hexes).
I installed it, then forgot about it. I tried it when I was clearing up my HDD, not expecting much. I was very pleasantly surprised.
