New licensing policies at Chaosium

[MOB]

Chaosium has launched a new set of fan-use and licensing policies, offering individuals, small publishers and commercial partners the opportunity to share their creations or to partner with us.

We support and value the contributions of the wider Chaosium Tribe. If you're interested in contributing, please have a look at our new policy descriptions to see which would work best for you.

There's also a Q&A for Answers to some commonly-asked questions we receive about fan-use and licensing.

Please note, as of September 2020 Chaosium is discontinuing our Small Publisher Limited License licensing option. Instead, our community content programs on DriveThruRPG now serve as the means for independent creators and small publishers to create and release their own material for our game systems. Details about how these programs operate are available at the links below.

Our current community content programs are:

• The Miskatonic Repository (Call of Cthulhu)
• The Jonstown Compendium (Roleplaying in Greg Stafford's world of Glorantha, including content for RuneQuest, Questworlds (Glorantha), and 13th Age Glorantha)
• The Explorer's Society (7th Sea)

Note: we have plans to add community content programs for some of our other game systems including King Arthur Pendragon in due course.

Current Small Publisher Limited License holders are unaffected. When your license expiry comes up we will discuss continuing licensing options with you.

Our community content programs are distinct from our licensing structure – they operate separately in parallel. A Chaosium licensee can also have content on offer in our community content programs.

For more information see our Fan Use and Licensing pages.
