ZWEIHÄNDER THIRD PARTY LICENSE

 ZWEIHÄNDER THIRD PARTY LICENSE

This license lets anyone create stuff for ZWEIHÄNDER RPG: Reforged Edition and publish it however they like—free or for sale. Adventures, campaigns, hacks, modules—it’s all fair game. No license fees, no revenue share, no hassle. Just follow these few simple rules:

CONTENT

1. You can create original role-playing game content compatible with ZWEIHÄNDER RPG: Reforged Edition (and other books from the game line like Main Gauche, Dark Astral, and ZWEIHÄNDER Revised Core Rulebook) for free or commercially, without needing our permission.

2. You can reference and use rules, creatures, characters, locations, and terms from the entire game line. You can't reprint or include the original rules themselves.

3. You may not use our official artwork, trade dress, or logos—except for the Powered By ZWEIHÄNDER logo, which you must place on the cover art. Download the logo here.

4. Your content must require the ZWEIHÄNDER RPG: Reforged Edition to play. You can add new rules, settings, campaigns, monsters, classes, etc. Just don’t publish a full standalone game that replaces the core book.

BRANDING

1. Don’t make it look like we officially sponsor, endorse, or publish your work unless we’ve agreed to it in writing.

2. 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

1. You keep full rights to your own work. We keep full rights to yours.

2. This license is strictly for tabletop role-playing game content. Print and PDF formats are fine. You can’t use this license to make apps, board games, clothes, toys, video games, and the like. No NFTs or AI may be trained on our content.

3. You are responsible for your product. We aren't liable for what you publish.

4. This license is irrevocable as long as you follow the rules. If you break them, the license ends.

5. We may periodically update this license at our discretion, but won’t invalidate your existing original content.

Want to make something horrific and cool for ZWEIHÄNDER Reforged? Do it. Want to sell it? Go ahead. Just don’t pretend it’s official, and don’t use our art or rules text.

Happy gaming,

Daniel D. Fox

P.S. Misery is meant to be shared. Drown your creations in treachery, corruption, and the supernatural, but make certain every soul feels the weight. No one is spared. Leave your prejudices at the door, and don't poison your game with -isms.
