I'm excited about the idea of making some of these as well. What's the best way to get them out to people once they are made? Put them up for free on a website or put them on itch.io with a similar "pay what you want" model and a link back to the original Dungeon Hero Zine set on here? Like "Compatible with Dungeon Hero Zine" and a link? <3

Well, since I posted the above, Button Shy (a game company) has become the publisher of the game under the new name, AdvanceQuest.
I just chatted with the owner of Button Shy, and he said he'd grant permission to create and distribute fan adventures, providing:
- Not for sale/profit.
- They include a blurb that they're compatible with Dungeon Hero / AdvanceQuest, and used with permission.
- No racist, sexist, or other offensive material. Keep it "family".
I'm in agreement with him on the above. The third point is very important – we reserve the right to revoke the permission if something offensive gets produced we don't want associated with the game. (Not that I think it's likely an issue glancing over your own work, which looks cool by the way, but it needs to be said clearly for anyone reading.)
As a side note, I see you made a roll-and-write about the Night Witches. That is awesome! I've got a design for a game about them, too, that I've been tinkering with off and on for years. I really need to dust it off and finish it at some point.
