Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pramas" data-source="post: 5325031" data-attributes="member: 995">I was on the Chainmail team way back when so allow me to explain.The initial release was a boxed starter set with minis, cards, and booklets. There were then a number of guidebooks that came out with the various sets with more background info, rules, scenarios, and so on. The plan was then to compile all the rules into a bigger core rulebook. However, before that was released (and one week before the game won an Origins award), WotC cancelled the game. Since it was complete, the core rulebook was later released as a PDF. That's what you saw reference to. You used to be able to buy it at RPGNow; that's how I got a copy. However, when WotC decided to stop selling PDFs, the Chainmail book was one of the casualties.</blockquote>
