| What is GNiko`s Games? | GNiko`S Games (GNG) is a Finnish game company, which develops and publishes a diverse selection of games for a demanding audience. GNG concentrates on role-playing games and miniature games. |
| Who is GNiko? | GNiko is a so called "Old Fart", one of those old, weird creeps you see drinking beer at the bar in a game convention, sitting on a table edge discussing pseudophilosophical metamumblings, or running a game in strange places. GNiko has been playing role-playing games since -82, miniature and strategy games since -84 and even LARPing since -89. He's not quite as old as the really old farts, but he does have a beard. |

| Why is the name of a Finnish company in English? | Because a lot of the games published by GNG are in English. Zen-Buddhist balance, or something... |
| Then why are the games in English, if the company is Finnish? | Good question. Probably because GNiko originally wrote most of his games in English, realising the limited size of the Finnish-speaking market.

| Hey! I've got this really cool idea for a game, will you publish it? | Nope. No disrespect for your idea, but GNG has a huge stack of our own projects waiting to be published. In addition, we think that the best quarantee for the quality of our games is that we make them ourselves. We'd rather not get blamed for other people's mistakes, just our own. |
| Could you at least read through my manuscript, and give an evaluation? | Nope. Again, no disrespect, but we simply do not have the time. Reading a manuscript critically takes a lot of time. GNG is run on spare time of full-day workers and/or students who have other hobbies, too. There's only so many years in a person's lifetime. |
