## What you may not do without written permission

- Publish modified, translated, remixed or derivative versions of the rules, or fan material built on them.
- Sell, rent or otherwise make money from the rules or anything built on them, including paid products, paid hosted services and print for sale. Paid game-running is a small-scale commercial use: ask, and a free small-scale license is granted on request.

## Why
Westwild is a living world with published novels and stories set in it. The rules and the world need to stay the same for everyone, so changes and republication stay with the author.
