Another late Christmas gift is the new CD entitled the Cheapass Album from Cheapass games.

Eric will love the song inspired by Button Men entitled "Beat People Up".
Its an automated robot. Based on Science!

Question:

Who do I talk to to get permission to repost the part on "getting a gift" in my LJ?  If they happen to read this, may I?

I'll gladly include links, copyright info, etc.  I just read the article and think the advice on getting gamers gifts could use spreading.

In fact, it would be much appreciated if this article were released under a CC license (http://www.creativecommons.org), for the good of all gamers.

All work published on TWG is copyright of the original author. In this case, Lucias Meyer, aka Mr. Pleasington. He'd be the one to ask.

TWG would LIKE to have a link back as well, as sort of a bibliographic comment.

If you're only talking about a short quote, then you don't need permission, just citation. If you're talking about a sizable chunk, just ask him. I won't speak for him, but he's easy going and will probably agree to it.

This is his forum profile.

It should have various contact methods. If you can't get hold of him by email or IM, send him a private message over the forum (through the same link).

His email, which I think is on his profile, tends to work well.  It's a real one, not a spambucket.

Hey JadeKnight,

I'm completely cool with you reposting portions of The Nerdery in you LJ as long as you:

1) Credit me (Lucias Meyer)
2) Link back to the original article
3) Link back to the TWG front page


Thanks for your interest! Enjoy.
