Chaotic Henchmen Productions aims to provide high-quality, well-written, great-looking products that support our favorite roleplaying games from an older era.
Our products include a healthy amount of old-school design sensibility (both mechanically and visually), but we use a slightly more modern layout, which makes our products easier to use than their vintage counterparts.
Chaotic Henchmen Productions is excited to be a small part of the growing retro/old-school roleplaying game community.
New stuff! Glad to hear this!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteHow did you get away with the Trade Dress issues on your modules? The F1, F3 & F4 look just like old school modules. Is 2nd edition modules now off limits or just no market?
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing to get away with. TSR published its last module with a similar cover in roughly 1983. Since then (especially in the last 20 years) many publishers have used similar cover styles. At this point, it would be difficult for any publisher to claim exclusivity.
ReplyDeleteI can't speak to 2nd ed, beyond not seeing much for-use-with 2nd ed stuff at all. Seems like there is little/no interest in publishing/buying that kind of thing, but my perspective is limited.
