Interested in creating content using the Nimble rules? Great! Nimble has a wide-open 3rd-party license that makes it easy to create your own homebrew content for your own table or even to sell (and keep all of your profits!).

Feel free to use the core system and any of the other content from Nimble that you like—the only caveat, you can’t use the game’s art or logo (but you can use one of the Nimble compatible badged on your product if you like), and the product you produce has to be your own and not simply a copy/paste of my work or anyone else’s. Add some value to the community!

See the full license below (it’s super short and written in plain language) and the accompanying FAQ. Any additional questions? Let me know evan@nimblerpg.com
