Lord Liaden Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 I'm afraid I don't know and can't find a definition of "hack" that seems to apply to your subject. Could you please clarify? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 If it is for your own use then you can probably create anything you want including things under a copy write or trademark. You can probably also share them with your friends as long as you are not charging for them or otherwise profiting from them. Publishing them in a book or on a for profit website is probably not allowed. Hero Games is a company that sells related material so cannot do this. Not sure if you could publish them here.

Private, non-commercial use...the rights holder isn't likely to worry about it, but could demand fees for continued use. Adapting the characters lock, stock, and barrel, when they're under copyright, probably exceeds fair use. OP, are you asking how to convert the characters from what's published, into Hero (or whatever) game terms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
