CHARTER OF REC.GAMES.FRP.ARCHIVES

     This newsgroup will serve as a temporary archive for postings
     that should be archived on one of the anonymous ftp or
     mail-server sites, and which do not belong in one of the
     other roleplaying newsgroups. Therefore only finished work
     such as net.books, campaign background, convention modules,
     the tabolport project, fiction, poetry, compilations, and so
     on should be posted here. This newsgroup is not for
     discussion purposes, and discussion of anything in this
     newsgroup should take place in the appropriate roleplaying
     discussion group.
