Open Content LicenseI’m not a lawyer. I don’t even have a lawyer. So this isn’t going to be fancy. But, if you want to use the ideas from this supplement I hereby use this blurb to you grant permission.

You may reference and utilize ideas from these pages. You may quote a reasonable amount of content, within context, and you may use the term ‘Rugged Adventure’ in your adventure titles. For example: “Journey to the Scary Place: a Rugged Adventure.” Or you could state that it’s a ‘rugged adventure’ in your advertising copy, somewhere else on the cover, etc.

Basically, you may use the term ‘rugged ad-venture’ in order to link your 4E product to this one. In any of these cases, you must pro-vide a reference to Silent7Seven Games and a link to our website (www.Silent7Seven.com) somewhere in your licensing information or in the first few pages of your product.
