Re: [piecepack] Game Rule Authors, Please Read

[mark.a.biggar@...]

Most of the games on www.piecepack.org have been released under
the GNU Free Document License.  This means that you are free to 
redistribute those rulesets as long as you abide by the license. 
Basically the game designers have already given you permission to 
do what you are thinking of, but it's still polite to ask.  For my
own games, the more exposure the better, so go for it.  

On the wiki there are a couple of lists you may want to look at:

http://www.ludism.org/ppwiki/RecommendedGames a list of the best
game as recommeded by the mailing list members.

http://www.ludism.org/ppwiki/CompetitionWinners the games that have won
the contests.

There is some overlap, but that is a good start on the game you may want
to include.  Don't try to include everything, there just too much.  Even
Mesomorph Games as had to stop including a printed rule bokk with thier
sets as it just got too big.

But do include a flyleaf that has the URL's for both the official
site (www.piecepack.org) and the wiki (www.ludism.org/ppwiki) so that
they can find all the otehr games later.

Good luck and please report back what response you get from anyone you
distribute to.
