The most useful, no-regret role-playing purchase I've ever made. Sorry to see it go. Thanks to everyone involved for showing us how it's done.

I'm sorry to hear about you stepping down, Calithena. Fight On! is a mainstay of old-school gaming. Is there any chance of you handing the editorial reins over to someone else after you have finished your work with the magazine?

Sad to see it go, but glad I was able to have some small part in it before it wound down. If it ceases to be a commercial venture, I hope you'll consider archiving it somewhere for those who missed the party

I'm just sad I didn't do more artwork for FO! A great thing to be part of.

Sad news, but many thanks for bringing so much amazing material to publication! The Fight On! back-catalogue is really a wonderful resource.

+1 this -- would be a real shame to see the magazine disappear completely.

Another to say it's sad to see it go. But if you can't do it and enjoy it's best to lay it aside. Thanks for hard work and a great zine!

Thanks for carrying the torch for so long on this. I know it is a tremendous amount of work.

Cal, you were the crucible for us all to build something of real value to the Old School Ruckus. Thanks to you, I published my first RPG artwork and magazine articles ever, which was a dream in my fevered brain since I was 12.

My mother always says, "Seven is the number of completion." If that's true, well, we doubled it!

I had to register here to thank Calithena (and all contributors) for a great magazine. Thank you!

Fight On! was the first product of the OSR I paid for, and it was something I never regretted for a second. I can only hope something would fill the void FO! leaves behind.

I'll be sad to see it go. I've been proud to participate in every issue.

Also, I feel for you. I produced the monthly newsletter for an organization for a couple of years, nothing like the scale of Fight On!, and that left me drained. What you've done here is nothing short of heroic. Have yet another exalt!

(I did for a moment think about offering to succeed you, but Herself shot me That Look and I quickly reconsidered.)

I'm very sad to see it going. I'm also considering re-vamping my own Dungeon Crawl zine in light of this fact; it's always been open for submissions but has only ever had, y'know, one issue. More on my blog: http://initiativeone.blogspot.com/2013/02/fighting-on.html
