FAQ for DMs ++

7 mins read

Here I will answer every question you may have about copyright and privacy. 

Can I use this world in my weekly game?

Yes! Please do. I have put all of this online for you to use. If your game is private and your DM is not paid you have no obligations to share or compensate me in any way. I know that the license calls for “attribution”, but dude… dude!

I am a professional DM, can I use things found here?

Yes! I would love for you to link to this site as an inspiration, and I consider that an obligation of good manners on your part. I will not be “reminding” you of sharing/supporting especially if your game is private (not promoted on switch/youtube/Facebook etc). You might be interested in joining our free group coaching team here.

Can I be inspired by this and make a world of my own?

Yes! Please include a link(s) to this site in the parts of your world that are inspired. Be as generous with your support as you like!

How can I support your work?

Aww, thank you! Sharing this site is enough for now. If this takes off I will add a Patreon for my coffees (the plural is literal, I do do caffeine). You may contribute ideas and creations, and I will link to you as the creator of them. Fill this in for single ideas, or contact me on social media (up-top) to talk synergy!

Will you use the things I comment/post/email here?

Yes! I love collaboration, even between strangers. Anything you post here may be used in the world. If you want to be credited please mention it in the same comment/post/email/etc. you send your content. Please be supportive of other people’s copyright when you send things and include the source. 

Who owns the copyright here?

Ok, this is a complex issue. Look into it on the detailed page, but know that I do my very best to accredit where I have to and use 4 kinds of copyright. 1) Things I made, 2) Things I paid to be able to use, 3) Things that are free to use, 4) Things under Creative Commons.

May I publicly republish things here and make money from that?

Yes! But first, we must come to a written agreement with a cut for me or a charity of my choice. (Come with a proposal for me to sign and I will be happy!) You can do this anyway, I would not consider this nice or polite but, I probably will not be suing unless you are the BBEG.

Privacy…. why? How? what?

I will not sell or give over any personal information you give in private. The information posted publicly may continue to be public in the way you chose to share it. In our private communication, I assume you want anonymity unless you expressly tell me otherwise (explicitly in writing). If you want my developers to take down any online comment/contribution you made, you must assume the cost of that. I will give you their email, and they can tell you their rates.

I object!

If you have an objection please contact me on social media (up top) and explain both your objection and the remedy you wish me to apply. I want you to be happy with me! Bullying, gaslighting, and threats will be dealt with, either legally or with silence (my choice).

I want to collaborate! How?

Wow!!! I love you! I would love to collaborate, visit me on Facebook and we will hit it off! (We will hash out an agreement/understanding – at this time I do not have further amounts of money to invest in this, but we can find something beneficial to both of us!)
