Sorry vill, i believe that you are wrong. The GBI Paper work is now available for order via the GBVA website, and for those who arnt looking for paper work most franchises get verification through owning a website. The GBI Role Playing Game Core Rules hand Book, is a good companion, but the information available in it is now available elsewhere, so owning the GBI Book is not a needed item. Also in the term of role play, i mean not in dice and story telling but in the relm of LARPs…for those of you who do not know what a LARP is, it's Live Action Role Playing. If you have any other questions about RPGs or LARPs, i recomend shooting an e-mail off to either me(i kinda work at a game store) or to Mr. Belmont(who has a most impressive collection of D20 books).
