Long ago, in the days when I spent untold hours reading homemade rpg systems online, I came across a wonderful game called Cineflex by one Dariel R. A. Quiogue. The system was highly influential on my own designs and continues to be one of my "high watermarks" of free rpgs online. It featured a light, intuitive magic system based around themes and rituals, a combat system based around bidding difficulty levels, and chargen that involved a prioritization of significant character traits. Though ostensibly a generic fantasy system, a setting based around the Red Branch Knights of Irish myth was provided.
Unfortunately, the site as linked to from John Kim's Free RPGs online is no longer accessible. I'm wondering if anyone here knows of an alternate site that hosts the rules, has a backup of the rules in pdf format, or knows any way of getting in touch with the creator?

I always thought it deserved more attention. The combat system in particular I've wanted to expand upon, as I like the combination of describing attacks nd defences with escalating stakes until someone is forced to roll. Reminded me of the system for car chases from Victory Game's 007 rpg.

Thanks for these! This was my old site and I lost access to it when fortunecity went down.
