Regarding the DCC license . . .
Posted: Tue Sep 14, 2021 5:48 pm
Howdy!
I wrote to Mr. Goodman on behalf of my tiny little publishing house, Miniature Giant Space Hamster Press, and obtained a license to publish a DCC product a few years ago. For various reasons, the product never appeared and the license expired.
I know it's easy enough to get a new license, but my question is about how necessary it is, especially for small products. Let me explain.
My business partner/old friend and I have ideas for a number of monsters we think could be idea for DCC. Conceptually, these would be presented individually in a series of short articles or products. Anyone who has seen our Hamster Highlight or Offbeat Encounters series has a decent idea of how we envision this to work.
Do I need a separate license for each of these products? Do I need the license at all to publish DCC-compatible material, or is it just to get the Goodman Games stamp of approval/window space? If it makes any difference at all, many to most of the products in question would be offered as free downloads, or at most PWYW.
The original product, about which I obtained the license a ways back, is still in development and I will definitely seek out a license for that one. This question is more for tiny 1-3 page monster writeup/illustration pieces.
Thank you for any assistance!
