Games Diner FAQ

Q: What's this site?

A: This site is an outgrowth of the hoary old T. Bone's GURPS Diner, with a little more elbow room now for non-GURPS game material. I'm a gamer and self-described dilettante game designer. See (slightly) more info here.

Q: I see errors...

A: Send 'em in! Many readers have helped a lot by sending in notices of errors. Even notice of a typographical error is appreciated. I hate typos. I don't think I'd wish typos to "drink asparagus pee", to use the words of my hosting service's nutty blogger, but I hate them all the same.

Q: Can I link to your site?

A: Please do! Your own web page with home-brewed additions or modifications to stuff at the Diner, or just a link to these pages, is a fine and good thing. You don't need permission for either. See details here.

Q: Can I create and post my own material borrowing from your stuff?

Sure! My only humble requests:

1. Copyright: The material is the property of tbone@gamesdiner.com. Please note the copyright and distinguish between my property and your own. Please don't copy or repost huge sections of what you find here, offer it on your own servers, or misrepresent ownership.
2. Credit: Please detail what was borrowed from the Diner -- what specific goods, and with what modifications of your own. That's not only so I get credit for what I created, but also so that you get full credit for what's actually yours.
3. Link: Please include a link to the Diner, as outlined here.
4. Formats: Whatever you create, you're free to post and send those files in any format you like. But files in open formats are greatly appreciated – it's not nice to ask people to pay tithes to software moguls for the right to view your file. Text or clean RTF is a far kinder choice than MS Word, for example.
5. Drop a line: I'd be interested in seeing your work once posted.

Q: Even for my own RPG?

A: The material is copyrighted, so your checking is appreciated! We should find it simple to agree on terms for using content in a non-commercial product. Proper credit, including what was borrowed and in what form it appears (simplified, heavily modified, as-is, etc.), plus a link to the Diner, are the basics. Use in a commercial product would entail more discussion. Either way, drop a line and let's talk.
