1. Introduction

This Goblinoid Games Trademarks License (the “License”) is a royalty-free, non-exclusive agreement between Goblinoid Games and third-party publishers. This License is non-sublicensable and grants limited permission to use specific Goblinoid Games trademarks for compatibility purposes, subject to the terms below.

Goblinoid Games reserves the right to revise or retract this License at any time. Products published under a previous version of the License prior to such revision or retraction are grandfathered, meaning they may remain in print and/or distributed electronically. However, no revised edition of a grandfathered product may be published unless it complies with the current License. If this License is retracted, no new products or revisions may be released under any previously existing version without express written permission from Goblinoid Games.

Goblinoid Games retains the right to revoke permission to use this License from any publisher or individual, for specific works or for all works from that publisher. Upon revocation, Goblinoid Games may require cessation of sales of any product produced under this License and may require destruction of unsold inventory.

Publishers do not need further written permission to produce eligible works under this License unless specifically stated otherwise.

2. Permissions Granted

Publishers in compliance with this License may:

• Indicate compatibility with the trademarks listed below.
• Publish eligible products, defined as roleplaying game adventures, game aids, or supplements, whether in print or digital formats.
• Use the optional official compatibility logo provided by Goblinoid Games (see Section 4).

Separate agreements are required for fiction, standalone games or apps, or any products outside the scope described above.

3. Restrictions and Requirements

3.1 No Additional Rights

This License grants no rights beyond those explicitly stated, by both the letter and spirit of the agreement.

3.2 Ownership

Publishers agree not to contest the ownership of any trademark listed under this License.

3.3 No Use in Titles

Licensed trademarks may not appear in the title of any product.

3.4 No Complete Games

No work may constitute a complete game. A “complete game” is any product that would allow a player to generate characters or play without the rulebooks associated with the covered trademarks. If a work makes any core rulebook obsolete for any class of player, it is considered a complete game. Goblinoid Games retains sole discretion to determine what qualifies.

3.5 Required Copyright Notice

Each published work must include on its copyright or credits page:

“[Trademark used for the product] is a trademark of Daniel Proctor. These trademarks are used under the Goblinoid Games Trademarks License, available at www.goblinoidgames.com.”

3.6 Content Standards

Publishers shall not release products under this License containing hate speech or defamatory content toward any person or group based on race, gender or gender identity, sexual preference, religion, nationality, or other characteristics. Publishers agree to indemnify and hold Goblinoid Games harmless from any claims arising from such material.

3.7 Complimentary Copies

Providing complimentary copies (typically electronic) to Goblinoid Games is appreciated but not required.

4. Compatibility Logos and Statements

4.1 Optional Official Compatibility Logo

Goblinoid Games may provide an official compatibility logo for publisher use. Use of this logo is permitted but not required.

4.2 Prohibition on Publisher-Created Logos

Publishers may not create their own logos, symbols, seals, or graphic marks that incorporate, imitate, evoke, or could reasonably be confused with Goblinoid Games trademarks or the official compatibility logo.

4.3 Text-Only Compatibility Statements

If the official compatibility logo is not used, publishers may use a text-only compatibility statement on the cover and in advertising. Examples include:

“Compatible with Labyrinth Lord”
“An adventure for use with Mutant Future”

Requirements:

• The text must be smaller in font size than the product’s title.
• The text must not appear more prominently than the product’s own branding.
• The text must not imply sponsorship or endorsement.

Goblinoid Games reserves the right to decide if a presentation violates these principles.

5. Compliance with Current Version

All products must comply with the version of this License that is current at the time of the product’s first publication or at the time of any revised edition.

6. Legal Venue

Any litigation arising from this License will be governed by and take place in Outagamie County, Wisconsin.

7. Trademarks Covered by This License

The following trademarks are covered under this License:

• Labyrinth Lord
• Advanced Edition Companion
• Advanced Labyrinth Lord
• Mutant Future
• Mutants & Mazes
• Apes Victorious
• Starships & Spacemen

Labyrinth Lord, Advanced Edition Companion, Advanced Labyrinth Lord, Mutant Future, Mutants & Mazes, Apes Victorious, Starships & Spacemen, and associated logos are trademarks of Daniel Proctor.

8. Supersession of Prior Licenses

All prior compatibility licenses, trademark licenses, permissions, statements of allowed use, or similar grants previously issued by Goblinoid Games are hereby revoked in full. This License supersedes all earlier permissions. Works published under a prior license before the date of this License are grandfathered as described in Section 1, but no new works or revisions may be published under any previous license.
