The following text is added to the rules for Manuscripts, Tomes, and Codices:

[hr]

In-Games books may contain text, drawings, or other content as desired by the author, as long as it is appropriate and appears In-Game.  The actual content of the books has no bearing on the game mechanical effects of the book - even if the author writes incorrect data into the book, it can still teach the appropriate lores or skills.  Conversely, the data in a Manuscript, Tome, or Codex cannot be assumed to be OOG accurate by simply reading the book - the data may be an opinion, incorrect, or purposefully misleading.

Any Tome, Manuscript, or Codex must contain the following text at its beginning:

Out-Of-Game: The contents of this book reflect the opinions or supposed knowledge of the in-game author, and do not necessarily reflect Knight Realms lore that is considered factual in the game world.


Tomes and Codices should also contain the OOG rules relevant to the abilities they teach, in addition to any IG information.

Naturally, I have already made over 25 or so MS, Codecies and Tomnes, none of which have the disclaimer, and do not want to ruin the first page which often would have no room for the disclaimer.  Would taping an index or item card to the inside front cover with the new requirement  suffice?

Yes - in fact, if you want to print a bunch of "bookplates," that might be handy.

so  my Manuscript: Gideon, does not in any way reflect the rules, lore, or opnions of jamesckimball.com  or knight realms,  but instead may be colored by my own 'truths thoughts or opinions like every page being slander about him being a dirty elf and STILL be allowed to be used for research?
