Archiver Reward Tier
Added 2017-05-06 15:21:28 +0000 UTCHello all!
One of the things I've been juggling around with since starting this Patreon has been how exactly to handle the commercial licensing of the maps you support. After having talked to and received feedback from some interested groups of adventure-makers, I've decided to incorporate a $10 per map support tier here specifically geared towards providing a commercial license for the content released through this Patreon.
Here are the specifics of how that reward is intended to function:
- Once an individual has officially begun supporting me at this level, all of the content available here is available to be used in license with a commercial product.
- The images must be used as a part of a greater product or adventure module, NOT as a standalone package.
- The commercial license is only extended for use while an individual is actively supporting the work made here. If a supporter later decides to move down to a lower tier of support, their use of the images reverts back to noncommercial purposes for future products.
- The $10 tier does NOT include the personalized map commission awarded to the $5 tier. The $10 tier is exclusively for those interested in reusing the maps for commercial purposes (commissions outside of the normal retinue of awards to be negotiated).
- Officially, all content used while acting as a $10 supporter are shared under a CC-BY 4.0 International Creative Commons license.
- As the license details, anyone using the images in their product must credit me in the publication--and please let me know if you do! I'd love to hear about it and will likely help let others know about your product myself.
- No Maximum Pledge Cap can be allowed for Commercial Licensing to be considered.
That's it! Nothing that should affect 99% of you, but hopefully the first step to building the foundation around the content here that helps enables other content creators in the D&D community interested in publishing adventures with quality maps.
Thanks!

Hey there, was looking at the assets from the website, and I was wondering if I am to purchase those will the sub still be required? Also wanted to ask, as you offer assets too, and the above only mentions maps, those are included for our own creations? I've tried looking throughout the website but wasn't able to find any information

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your comment, but just to be clear: this post is publicly visible and linked in the description of the tier on the "landing page" for new/incoming patrons. And just to clarify your point on asset use: it is $50/mo b/c it is $10 per paid post I release each month (always five). The frequency or type of content you use as a part of your commercial license does not affect pricing.

2022-09-13 12:05:27 +0000 UTCThis kind of information would be welcome to the public so that other people with the same question can at least get some sort of information without having to subscribe just to ask similar questions. Because there are a lot of things to consider when deciding to drop 50 a month on a commercial license (Not that it is a unfair price, but it is a decent amount when you concider people use 2-5 asset packs to MAKE maps so that becomes 100-250 a month for the assets.) again not a unfair price, but one that requires thought and information! :D Thank you for all your hard work and beautiful assets.

2021-05-13 19:56:16 +0000 UTCOk, so I'm looking at getting started publishing modules, and trying to figure out the logistics. If I understand this, if I use one of your maps, I must remain subscribed at the $10/thing level forever, or withdraw anything I write which uses your map?
