High Rollers Content Policy

You can create free stuff based on High Rollers IP for the community to enjoy with some exceptions that are listed below. We allow you to use, display and create derivative works based upon High Rollers IP but strictly for noncommercial (except as specifically mentioned below) community use. High Rollers reserves the right to use our sole discretion to deny anyone the use of our IP at any time, and should we ask that you not use our IP for a particular Fan project, you agree to comply with that request.

Fan art is an important part of our community; we love seeing it! Making and selling limited, hand-made and transformative fan artwork inspired by our IP is generally fine (Permitted Fan Artwork) and does not require getting express written permission from us. Examples of Permitted Fan Artwork would include: limited editions and one-of-a-kind artwork, handmade items and individually produced unique creations. We would expect Permitted Fan Artwork to be displayed and sold at conventions, personal gatherings or individual (non-commercial) websites. However, you are not permitted to mass-produce or mass-distribute fan-made merchandise without our written express permission to do so.

In all cases, the use of our IP within a Fan Project must be appropriate. Fan Projects cannot be defamatory, offensive (including but not limited to) anything transphobic, sexist, homophobic, racist, ableist, ageist) or harmful to others in any way (as determined solely by High Rollers).

You may not create commercial Fan Projects including any Fan Project that (without a written license agreement from us) do any of the following:

• crowdsources any portion of its funding;

• involves a business or legal entity;

• utilises a print-on-demand / mass producing service (e.g. Redbubble);

• gates the Fan Project behind a paywall (e.g. Patreon, YouTube Premium, etc), unless the Fan Project is also legitimately available elsewhere free of charge;

• involves the sale of merchandise utilising High Rollers IP unless it is Permitted Fan Artwork

We prohibit the creation, use or display at all times and at any time of our IP in interactive games, apps, digital copies, downloads and any other form of digital distribution of any of our IP. Please do not take any part of our IP and use it in a game, app, or digital recreation in any form other than your own private, noncommercial use. We do not allow any Fan Projects utilising our IP to appear in any app stores unless there is a separate, express written agreement between you and High Rollers allowing that use.

Creating, writing, producing and/or exploiting monetised books, comic books, theatrical productions, audio-visual programs, digital reproductions, non-fungible tokens, or any similar digital or other technology, platforms, or means of display and distribution now existing or that might be developed or utilised in the future that includes, displays or stores in any fashion High Rollers IP is not allowed. To avoid any misunderstanding, any adaption of High Rollers IP in any of the foregoing ways requires a separate, express written agreement between you and High Rollers.

Fan fiction utilising our IP that is posted on a free-to-view platform is generally permitted by High Rollers, but the content cannot be monetised or appear behind a paywall and must otherwise comply in all ways with the terms of this Content Policy.

Any merchandise that uses High Rollers IP cannot be created and/or sold under the terms of this Content Policy. If you want to create and distribute such merchandise, a separate agreement or license will be required.

Subject to the limitations below, we generally permit fans to promote their Fan Projects inclusive of our IP on websites, streams or videos and to use those platforms to passively generate revenue from their Fan Projects through appropriate advertisements, including pre-roll ads, ad breaks, post-rolls and sponsor ad overlays (Permitted Ads). No inappropriate direct ads or sponsorships are allowed for a Fan Project with our IP other than Permitted Ads, and High Rollers alone in exercising its sole discretion will decide whether any advertising (including any advertising that would otherwise have been Permitted Ads) are “inappropriate”. Upon notification to your by High Rollers, ads and sponsorships deemed inappropriate must be stopped and taken down immediately. Please don’t state or imply that High Rollers has approved or endorsed your content or that High Rollers is your sponsor or has approved the products or services in your Permitted Ads or that High Rollers has approved any advertisers who are included in the content you create. If you are creating an audio-visual transformative work including our IP, please including the following disclaimer legibly on screen:

“This project is unofficial fan content and is not approved or endorsed in any way by High Rollers.”

We permit individual fans to solicit personal donations or offer subscription-based content that includes the IP that we create during the episodes that High Rollers records and distributes (HR Programming), but only if non-donors and non-subscribers can also watch the paid content concurrently.

Your creation of any Fan Project based on or incorporating any materials created by High Rollers or under its direction that contain any High Rollers IP may only be used by you in a way that is “transformative” in nature, i.e., you must create something using the High Rollers IP that has a meaningful, important, unique and lasting change in it. In other words, you cannot just copy or re-upload High Rollers IP verbatim to use or repost somewhere. Examples of potential transformative works include but are not limited to the following:

• Significant changes to High Rollers artwork.

• Original animatics

• Compilation videos

• Remix edits

• Added commentary

• Music/music videos

• Cosplay content

• Art/draw-alongs

• GIFs/memes

• Reaction videos

High Rollers allows your passive monetisation of under 10 minutes of HR Programming usage per episode of any Fan Project you create. High Rollers may claim the monetised amount or High Rollers may execute an automatic takedown for over 10 minutes of HR Programming usage per episode of any Fan Project that you create.

As long as it follows the Content Policy and you make it clear that it was created by a fan and that it is not an official High Rollers project, that should be fine.

You may not at any time state or imply that your Fan Projects are affiliated with, sponsored by, or approved by High rollers.

We recommend including the following statement, where appropriate, in your Fan project to make this clear.

“This project is unofficial fan content and is not approved or endorsed in any way by High Rollers.”

No. Do not post or disclose any High Rollers related content prior to its official release on YouTube, or any other media-sharing platform. This includes posting clips, or previews of content shared on our exclusive platforms like Patreon and YouTube Members.

Also, please be respectful of spoilers which can ruin fan and community enjoyment of our content. If creating a Fan Project that includes our most recent content, please offer spoiler disclaimers, appropriate hashtags and similar as a courtesy to other members of our community who may not be up to date.

No. Certain High Rollers content contains music, enhancements or other content that High Rollers has licensed from third parties, but that license ONLY applies to High Rollers content and/or High Rollers platforms. We can’t give you the rights to use it.

You’ll need to get permission from the copyright owner(s) before using it in any way. Doing so would be at your own risk and may be subject to takedown notices by High Rollers and/or by the copyright owner of the original work you included in your Fan Project.

Yes. For legal reasons, and to protect ourselves, by using High Rollers IP in your Fan Project you give High Rollers authorisation to share or use your Fan Project in any way at our sole discretion. High Rollers will try to provide proper artist credit where possible and make every effort to contact the creator.

By using our IP in your Fan Project your Fan Project becomes a derivative work of High Rollers IP and you give High Rollers authorisation and an irrevocable license to share or use your Fan Project in any way at our sole discretion.

If the creative effort you are considering is not specifically covered by this Content Policy or is outside the scope of what is specifically permitted under this Content Policy, you will need High Rollers prior approval as part of a separate, express written agreement between you and High Rollers before you put your Fan Project out into the world. 

If you have any questions about this Content Policy, or have an idea that isn’t covered by it, please contact us by email at highrollersdnd@gmail.com . Pending our response, you agree not to use the High Rollers IP in your proposed Fan Project.
