Book or not a book: Tabletop RPG & Strategy Rulebooks & Sourcebooks

[T R Alexander]

Just to make sure before I make a request on the Add a Book forum: Rulebooks and sourcebooks from Tabletop RPGs and strategy games (eg. DnD, Warhammer, etc.) are allowed on the site if they are available to purchase independently of the game. Most of these books also include lore and background material that make them worth reading even if you don't play the games in question (I haven't played either in years yet I still buy them to read, despite the cost).

Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes, if the rulebook or sourcebook is sold on its own -- preferably through traditional channels with an ISBN, but depending on how it is made available, it may qualify even without an ISBN -- that is fine.

When they are only sold as part of game kits (and perhaps sold second-hand on their own), they would not meet our criteria for inclusion.

Thanks. I did think that but wanted to be sure.
