Thanks for providing this for others to use.
I just released a game using it on Itch, called 'Crime Friction'.

Can a commercial product be made with HTRPG for sale? For example, here on DTRPG... under the terms you spelled out in the license of your product... Credits and OGL license disclosures.

Add rules for modern weapons, vehicles and a few notes in how to create custom races and classes (because, by Jove, I admit that I am a man who doesn't knows left from right until someone tells him) and even if you charged $700 for this book, I would find a way to buy it.

I'm really glad this was pay what you want, because I was pretty disappointed in it as a framework for Rules Lite games. I do want to like it, with the playing OSR Transformers.

I really like this as a toolkit for further works! Is it okay to do a translation under the given terms (OGL)?

Yes a translation is okay if broken up and used to make it's own game but not to release Valor Knights "the official french" version (or whatever language). :)

Thank you for the quick replay - I appreciate it very much!

It would be a translation of "Hack the RPG" as provided, but not labeled VK or so.
However, the term VK shows up in Hack the RPG. Would that be problematic?

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
