I am quite enjoying my read of Moth-Light and I hope to get to play it soon (got a few peeps interested already hehe). What an inspired and inspiring game!

I have a specific question about derivative work: I am writing a game and one of the things you are schooling me on is making concise blocks of rules and wording. So I'd like to know how to approach getting inspired by/templating off sections of your game to write my own game.

Example: The section on rolling the dice does a neat job of explaining how to roll the dice. I wouldn't just copy/paste the page, but there are sentences I'd like to use or edit. How would that go with you?

I absolutely encourage you to do that! My only request would be that you offer attribution if any rules text you copy makes it into the final version of your game.

Absolutely yes! Is there any format you'd prefer? 

For now, wing it. I'll have more formal guidance on this in the final draft.
