What the Fork
The word »fork« has been used to mean »to divide in branches, go separate ways« as early as the 14th century.
In software engineering, a project fork happens when developers take a copy of source code from one software package and start independent development on it, creating a distinct and separate piece of software. The term often implies not merely a development branch, but also a split in the developer community; as such, it is a form of schism. Reasons for forking are varying user preferences and stagnated or discontinued development of the original software.
This document is also a fork, in the sense that the basis is Song of Drums and Shakos. To that, the content of the available sourcebook and house rules have been added, and original rules not liked have been removed or modified; thus making Fork of Drums and Shakos a distinct and separate game.
Fork of Drums and Shakos is created from:
- Ganesha Games – Song of Drums and Shakos (2008)
- Ganesha Games – More Drums and Shakos (2008)
- our house rules
