D&D category: what you'll find here, how you can use it

Following the huge news of late January 2023, the terms of use of the blog have been updated.

What can you do with the “written” stuff (places, quests …)?

Terms of use

What can you do with the drawings?

News: images generated via Artificial Intelligence (AI)

With the arrival of AI in art, it has caused a mess. I am not knowledgeable in artistic ethics or computer science, but I do know one thing: through artificial intelligence processing programs, I am able to produce extremely high quality images beyond what I could produce relying only on my artistic flair in that field (which is 0). Now that I have the concrete possibility, every setting, every mission and so on will be accompanied every time it is possible by images generated in this way, to offer additional help to Dungeon Masters. All images produced with AI were personally made by me, using DiffusionBee or the official Dreamlike.art website as a base, and then working on the images with some very basic editing program. All images produced by me with AI will be marked with the [AI] designation at the end of the name, and can be distributed according to all the terms in the following licenses: ✓ Open RAIL-M license ✓ CC4 License

What can you do with the maps?

My maps are created through Dungeondraft. Unless explicitly stated, none of the presented maps have been made by others. However, you cannot use them for commercial purposes because the assets I used on Dungeondraft were either downloaded for free from their creators or purchased, but I do not have a commercial license for all of them: like the rest of the materials presented here, the maps can only be used for personal use, without selling or transferring to third parties in exchange for anything, according to the licenses used by the owners of the individual assets. The maps made by those who have collaborated or are collaborating with the blog follow the same rules as the non-IA drawings: their creators, always listed in the article associated with the maps, retain all rights on the maps themselves. If you like them so much that you want to use them for commercial purposes, well, their contacts are listed here on purpose: helping them in my own small way is the least I can do. Also for them, the used license is the following: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. Here is the list (in update) of the used assets, to rightly give credit to their creators.

What will be published?

The blog will not publish full campaigns, as it is impossible for your group to follow a set series of sessions exactly. Instead, the blog will publish settings, such as a village, a slave city, or a forest inhabited by the Fae. The purpose is to create flexible content for anyone’s campaigns, where you can be sure that somewhere, there is a forest with three wolves and a cabin, or a dungeon full of undead with loot at the end. Each article will include: ✓ Printable, printer-friendly documents in black and white; ✓ Monster stat blocks; ✓ Associated maps created by me or artists who have given their consent directly (following my contact) or indirectly, through a generic disclaimer on the use of their IP, for example on their Patreon or websites. While the commercialization of materials created personally by me is not excluded a distant future, it would be always regarding the creation of a physical copy. All digital content published on the blog in the category compatible with D&D 5e will remain free and subject to the rightly irrevocable licensing from Creative Commons.
