Practical Translation

The permission includes the use of all OOC material of Tazlure, including its TOS, and anything IC related that is associated with the game system (magick, races, skills). You are allowed to break the Tazlure Game System into modules you may or may not use (for instance not using skills), but we would like to see the overall vision of how a game is run to survive intact, or it wouldn't be the Tazlure Game System. Permission does not extend to IC material, aka the setting, use of which will be strictly forbidden. Permission means that you will give Tazlure credit, including a link.

Naturally anything that already belonged to you (specifically your PC's) remains your property.

Tazlure Spirit for other games

If we take the particulars of the day to day running of our game out of it, these particulars remain.

• The game is open and friendly to newbies and expects mature behaviour.

• The game has given thought to rules of communication in the community and in general promotes an atmosphere of tolerance, equality and understanding.

• The game's TOS has a first rights clause that recognizes the intellectual ownership of its users, while retaining the right to use all material for the community.

• The game's TOS has a fair use policy that addresses how to handle derivative material from fans.

• There are rules in the community regarding use of copyrighted material of others, especially regarding use of art, and this is actively upheld.

• Management of the game holds to administrative ethics which include open communication with its users and other sites, a lack of dissembling and bragging and a general mature and professional attitude.

• The game has guidelines in place which focus plot on the player character's rather then the storyteller and actively discourages god modding or power playing. These guidelines should promote realistic plots and logical storylines within the game setting that focus on creativity and uphold quality standards.

• The game is offered for free and while donations may be encouraged, this will never give a player an IC advantage.
