What's your policy on using these mechanics in games we are planning to release? I notice it doesn't include a license or permission section like Schema does.

I would love to use temptation dice and escalation in an Edo era polical intrigue game I'm working on.

Because these are almost purely procedural, the actual mechanics themselves can't be copyrighted (procedures are patent law, not copyright!), just the specific text I described them with.  So unless you want to copy-paste the text, no license or permission is required at all.

(If you do want to copy text exactly, let me know, and I'll take a few minutes to dig out the file and paste on the unlicense and CC-BY options; it's on my "do it at some point" list, but never became a priority because of the whole "Mostly not copyrightable anyway" thing).

If it's not too much trouble and on your list anyways that would be great. I'm hoping to rework them, but the project is for a game jam and having the option to copy-paste would be great in case I run low on time.

Aaaaannd, done!

Thanks a bunch, you and your products rock.
