Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I see this is a few weeks late, but thank you for your fine contributions. You seem to have our system well sorted, but here are a few good reference links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!

The Barnstar of High Culture | |
| For your diligent work on just about single-handedly bringing the SP series to Wikipedia, here is this barnstar! RGTraynor 08:53, 28 December 2006 (UTC) |
[edit] That being said ...
... be careful about what you copy verbatim from Blakeney Manor (such as the text in the I Will Repay article). The webmistress there copyvio'd her backside off in ripping from GURPS Scarlet Pimpernel, but back then, people were paying truly impressive sums on eBay to scrounge copies of GSP on the grounds that -- for better or worse -- it was the only concordance of the series in print. I gave permission to the BM webmistress to quote my book on her website, but it's safer to put the phrasings in your own words for Wikipedia. RGTraynor 08:57, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, sink me, I'm certainly not out to bust anyone's chops; really, I was rather tickled that a gamebook I wrote eighteen years ago was getting that much play in a broader circuit. You certainly have permission to quote my book; that's not a problem. RGTraynor 17:43, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
