White Wolf's Pay for Play Policy

acknowledgements: White Wolf Website Message board

White Wolf has announced a policy, to go into effect next year:

"In brief, White Wolf is requesting that those who wish to charge players to play White Wolf games (beyond standard fees at a convention) obtain a license to do so from us. We request this both in order to ensure we can provide a consistent level of support and play experience to those fans looking to play our games and in order to protect our rights in terms of trademark and so forth. Yes, our games are meant to be played and we encourage everyone to do so - but charging players is stepping into a commercial arena and license agreements then come into play. Our vehicle for granting this license is membership in the Camarilla."

The Camarilla is the official White Wolf fan club.

"Q. What about games at conventions?
"A. If the only money the players need to pay is the standard fee charged and collected by the convention (generic event tickets, etc.), then you do not need a license. If, however, you make arrangements with the hosting convention to charge more for your event (in order to offset your own costs, say), then you need a license."
