I don't really remember too, I think it was on a "parkway" on sourceforge, there are 1 or 2 years...
Re: How did you find out about Wesnoth?
I learned about Wesnoth through my brother, who got in on a CD full of open source things from one of his friends. (And I'm very glad I did, too. ^^)

Bumped into the game thanks to Google. I'll forever thank Internet power for that (and you devs, of course, too XD)...

Re: How did you find out about Wesnoth?
i just bumped last weekend on BfW when i searched for free Mini-Games for a Lan Party.... actually i was looking for a Bomberman Clone when i saw BfW on a German Website which lists several Games you can play online and by LAN... i just forgot the name of the website....
Well it sounds interesting so i downloaded it this Monday (i didn't thought that it would look that good... reminds me of Fire Emblem) and it's a great game with great Music (which fits perfect for PnP RPG i think)

It was suggested on one of the Linux Forums I visit. Not sure which one. So I guess that would mean my source was a community member.

Pixeljoint. Heard Neorice was doing art so I decided to drop by and voila you have this useless guy (me) here now. Wasn't that great?
Re: How did you find out about Wesnoth?
The first strategy game I played on *nix (besides 'trek') was xconq. After installing this and playing a while and realizing the AI was absolutely terrible, I looked for a decent strategy game that wouldn't require me to boot to windows or dos. Wesnoth has the best AI of any of the strategy games I've played, and also a good amount of users always ready for a mp game, so it wins out. I'm all about a good challenge. And, it's become a really pretty game to play, much improvement from when I started. Still, I wish someone would update the AI for xconq someday. It was such a promising project, way back when, but everyone seems to have given up on it.

I first learned of this game from listening to an early recording of Frank Sinatra's Beyond the Sea.

Re: How did you find out about Wesnoth?
My brother showed it to me. And I just gotta say that this game is awesome, I like this type of graphics, not things as warcraft and such. So regarding the graphics in wesnoth, I hope it doesn't develope much.

Re: How did you find out about Wesnoth?
I can't really remember where I found out about Wesnoth.
I think I found it on YouTube (the trailer or something)
or I find out when searching for free online games on Google, surfing through websites untill I discovered this.

Re: How did you find out about Wesnoth?
Found out about it about ... well, two years ago in the "Linux Lounge" at the university I'm enlisted to.
Made some of my friends play it, too Publishing it under Windows as well was a good decision
