HeroQuest Gateway License
We here at Moon Design want you to be able to use HeroQuest as your rules engine for your game setting, be it science fiction, high fantasy, horror, westerns, martial arts, or anything else. To facilitate this, we are enabling you to publish your own non-Gloranthan game material using the HeroQuest rules engine without paying us royalties or negotiating cumbersome or intrusive license agreements.
We created the HeroQuest Gateway License to let you do just that.
1. Read the HeroQuest Gateway License Agreement.
2. If you agree to the terms, mail us a HeroQuest Gateway Statement of Acceptance. Attach a short description of what you propose to publish.
3. We’ll email you when we get your Statement of Acceptance. Assuming we have no further questions, you license will become automatically effective fourteen days later. You are in business!!!
4. You need to comply with the terms of the HeroQuest Gateway License, which means – among other things – you will need to put the HQ Gateway logo on the back cover and on the page with all the legalese. Very importantly, you shall not use anyone else’s intellectual property without their permission! Read the whole agreement, since you have to carefully follow the provisions of the licensing agreement (don’t worry it is only six pages long).
No permission is granted under the HeroQuest Gateway License to publish any Gloranthan material!
5. Finally, you publish your product, you will need to send Moon Design three print copies and one electronic copy.
