ZWEIHÄNDER RPG THIRD PARTY LICENSE
updated July 2, 2026
This license lets anyone create content for ZWEIHÄNDER game lines and publish it however they like — free or for sale, in PDF, print, app, Excel, and VTT formats — in any language, on any platform they prefer. No licensing fees, no revenue share, no hassle, no approvals needed. Just follow these simple rules:
CONTENT
1. You can create original content, including new rules, adventures, campaigns, monsters, settings, classes, etc.
2. You cannot use our artwork or text unless we’ve agreed to it in writing.
3. You cannot publish a full standalone game that replaces the core book.
BRANDING
4. You must place the Powered By ZWEIHÄNDER logo on the cover. Download the logo here.
5. You must include a disclaimer somewhere visible (like your credits page or website) that says:
[Product name] is an independent production by [Author or Publisher]. It is published under the ZWEIHÄNDER Third Party License. ZWEIHÄNDER RPG and Powered by ZWEIHÄNDER are registered trademarks of Daniel D. Fox. All rights reserved.
LEGAL STUFF
6. You keep the rights to your own work. We keep the rights to ours.
7. This license is irrevocable as long as you follow the rules.
8. We may periodically update this license, but it won’t invalidate your existing original content.
Happy gaming,
Daniel D. Fox
P.S. Misery is meant to be shared. Drown your creations in treachery, corruption, and the supernatural. Leave your prejudices at the door, and don't poison your game with -isms.
