It's based on a whole series of badly written science fiction novels.
Check.

Bzzt. Would you like to play again?
The notion that it is based on Nietzschean philosophy has been pretty thoroughly debunked.

There is also a very elaborate code of conduct for slaves, which does interest me: how they should talk, how they should kneel, how they should serve food and drink, etc.
That part doesn't interest me at all. I don't bother with it, and I think it's somewhat contrary to Gorean aesthetics to use a synthetic culture as a model for Gorean behavior. Others will disagree, of course, but that's nothing new. It's certainly easier for people to go with what somebody has already done, rather than to allow a culture to emerge on its own. But this stuff is basically window dresssiing.

Just google Gor, and you'll find almost all of what you could want. It's certainly easier than reading the books.
It's also going to include a bunch of onlineisms. Which is not to say that you can't use that, of course. But it's got little to do with anything.
Health,
al-Aswad.
