I just read in a "StackExchange" (whatever that is) someone's answer to a question about alternatives to Fudge dice (c. 2010), and my name was mentioned: "There is more than one Fudge die roller on the internet. Gordon A. Cooper's roller is simple and easy to use." My old Javascript dice roller on Fudgery.net (R.I.P.) was linked in the comment. Ah, the days when a few people could find my Fudge essays and Javascript random generators in search engines... Any search of "Fudge RPG" or "FudgeRPG" now yields little more than endless links to FudgeRPG.com or Reddit. The independent blog articles and resources have largely disappeared from results, and Creative Reckoning is nowhere to be found unless the search terms are quite specific. I know some of this is symptomatic of the eclipse of Fudge by other games, but the continuing sabotage of search engines by their owners is compounding the situation. I shan't belabor the point, but the only way to reverse this trend might have to come from the grassroots level and a different approach. I hope a Fudge community still exists to find it.
