Copyright & Commercial Use Update (Patreon)

Hello there!  This post wont affect most of you, but if you are interested in Commercial License or generally Copyright of our stuff, this should clear it up :)

Since there is increasing number of people wanting to utilize our Commercial License and also some confusion about the general use of our assets - Standard Copyright and how it works/what's required. 

How to properly Credit: 

If you are sharing content made with FA assets, You are required to credit us (Forgotten Adventures) and link to our Website ( https://www.forgotten-adventures.net/ ) in your publication.

Proper credit should look something like this:  
"This Map was created using the Assets from Forgotten Adventures"
"Assets used to create this map are from Forgotten Adventures"


* Credit doesn't have to be directly on the map itself. If it's a single map shared on reddit or somewhere else - Credit in comments or in the description will suffice. 

* For Streaming/Video Content - either in text form on the screen or mentioned during the video + link to the website in the description.

* For Adventures and such - in "credits" section and/or under/next to the map

Fan-Content Policy - When you don't need the Commercial License:

If you make content with FA assets that you are sharing for FREE - You can accept Donations without the need of the Commercial License!  

Including Patreon or Pay What You Want model on DriveThruRPG for example.

Only caveat is that the maps have to be free and accessible to the public, nothing behind a paywall, no exceptions (variants/gridless etc. behind a paywall for example) - Also proper credit is required in all instances.

This also includes Streaming and Prerecorded Video ( Twitch, YouTube etc.) as long as the videos themselves are not behind a paywall. Credit is still required - either with text on the screen or mentioned during the video + link to the website in the description.

Commercial License Changes:

We've decided to update our Commercial License requirements and how it's handled since it was getting a bit out of hand for us to keep track of it.

Main changes:

• Commercial License is now tied to a new tier -  Merchant ($20). 
• Commercial Use Registration on our website is also needed for the license to be valid. 

Commercial License allows you to use all of FA content in commercial products - Number of products you are allowed to sell/publish depends on your monthly cap/limit of the Merchant Tier.

For all details please refer to the new updated Commercial License Post

This comes in effect next month (January 2021) - you are still covered for December if your Explorer Tier Pledge went through from November.
