For the record, I didn't own SWORDDREAM. I didn't lead it either. There was no leading that movement.
Related: If we're not friends, don't tag me into discussions that have nothing to do with me. Don't act all close and cute to me either.

i haven't seen a sworddream in years, i'm pretty sure half gave up and just used OSR for the SEO and the other half went with NSR

When people ask what kind of games we publish
and it's not not SWORDDREAM.
But also, I have to wonder if they know what the dream even was.

Sworddream has a vaguely mythic, romantic mouthful that Old School Revival/Renaissance can't quite match.

In 280 chars: POSR, certainly NSR, feels more about signalling you are part of a particular group rather than part of a particular design movement—from my perspective. Like SWORDDREAM. People will call Chris’s games Post-OSR, but Into the Odd is over a decade old. Certainly a foundational OSR game.

I found this here, may this be what you're talking about? It looks to be more of a philosophy about community first, rather than about games or game design. It looks very cool, though, and the name sworddream rocks.
