The MAIL Guidebook

The MAIL Guidebook is a conversation and resource for tabletop game designers who wish to use the MAIL ruleset in their own publications.  The MAIL system first debuted in Shadows of a Dying Sun, published by Gallant Knight Games and Northern Lights Foundry and written by Alan Bahr (me!)

The text inside The MAIL Guidebook is available for free and without royalty as long as you follow the included license.  

• It is not a system reference document, though it does include a good chunk of the MAIL system rules (almost all of them that are not genre specific).
  • It is designed to give you more to design off of, and doesn't include specifics like weapons, spells and more. 
• It is designed to be a conversation from me to you, helping you to understand why I made the design choices and decisions I did so you can use or ignore them and at least be aware of what you might be doing.
  • To that end I intend it to be a living document that will be updated as questions are asked, or I get feedback.
• I want The MAIL Guidebook and upcoming site to be a living repository of this toolkit for future uses, as well as something others can utilize for their products. 
• It includes two logos to indicate compatibility as well as the compatibility license.
