Scribd is a website that profits from selling other people's copyrighted content on the basis that most copyright holders don't object - they don't check they are entitled to sell their content, they just (might) take it down if copyright holders complain. It's lazy, exploitative, and despicable - I wouldn't touch anything they were offering. I'd rather make my scans of the Brymstone material therein available than allow money to pass into Scribd's abusive hands.
If you're looking for other periodicals, stuff that was going to go into the ill-fated Brymstone supplement is also in White Dwarf magazines #53 and #62. As with a number of "DW" articles, it was published under the RuneQuest or AD&D banner to make it commercial (much like the Brymstone content in Red Giant). The elementalist spells in these magazines were written by Robert Dale and fit with DW Brymstone - I do have conversions, but they still use a lot of Robert's original text, so I'd need to rewrite this before releasing them. I guess I could just publish the elemental domain, spell level, and darkness geasa for each, though, as that wouldn't be covered by Robert's copyright...
Although part of me is still hoping that the Brymstone supplement will see the light of day - lots of background material about the city and its social structure, a much-expanded adventure, some original material from Dave Morris, new spells and NPCs, etc. I'm quite proud of it!
