Tavern Heroes Usage Guidelines
Tavern Heroes is an ever-evolving show that has gone through many iterations and seasons since its start in early 2019.
We love the idea of the Tavern Heroes community supporting the show and creating fan content. We thank all fans that want to submit fan-created work and we cannot wait to see what you create based on our show.
Tavern Heroes Intellectual Property (which will now be referred to as "IP" in this document) consists of everything from certain events to names, characters (and their official art), and even backstories.
To put it simply, Tavern Heroes IP is anything ORIGINAL that is used in the show.
We, as a group, would like to have an open relationship with "Tavern Patrons". We feel that we should not alienate fans with inane policies, like some creation groups seem to implement to protect their content.
That means feel free to make what ever you want using our IP.
There are some exceptions that can be found below.
All we ask is that you credit "Tavern Heroes" and Argos101 Entertainment in the best way you can. That includes on-screen credit, credit in a video's description, or verbally referencing our show in video work. If you are simply wearing a shirt in a picture, video, or stream, credit is not necessary.
(Fan artists can use their best judgment to not tarnish their AMAZING work).
You will find that we are pretty welcoming to fan-made media. As long as you don't break the exceptions listed below, we're all good. With that being said, make your animations, cosplay, fan art of characters and events (as long as it isn't a direct re-upload of official art as listed below), make songs or poems about events that happen, whatever you want to do, do it. Do it and enjoy yourself. Make sure you show us what you make, we'd love to see it.
Exceptions
...in content type:
We ask that your work be transformative.
That means you can't just reupload episodes on your own channel. You can, however, use audio to animate scenes from the show, if that is your cup-o-tea.
...in used media:
Please note that background music and Tavern external art work is licensed* or commissioned ONLY to Argos101 Entertainment and Tavern Heroes and cannot be used EVEN IF you are following these guidelines.
...in subject matter:
Express hate to any demographic or person.
Promote anything that violates what Argos101 Entertainment strives for as a content creation group.
Please note that not following guidelines and/or reproducing some of the prohibited/ protected media can result in certain content being claimed by various content ID systems.
While some limitations do exist regarding the use of Tavern Heroes IP, our hope is that these relaxed guidelines can help to foster inclusive and positive relationships with the talented people that make up the Tavern Patrons, rather than alienate them with policies that limit the creative scope of what you can do.
Please also note that this is a living document that may be changed as the need arises. Changes can be implemented for various reasons, such as someone abusing the leniency of this document, or changes made to what is used for the show.
