TTRPG Content Creator License Agreement
Added 2021-10-18 09:37:15 +0000 UTCModifications may be made over time, as new situations, platforms and content types appear. Modifications won't be retroactive and you'll be notified.
This license requires a Chosen tier subscription.
This license applies to :
FoundryVTT modules released through Patreon, Bazaar
Animated maps (videos)
Possibly other elements. Contact us by email (contact@michaelghelfi.com) or through Discord.
This license specifically doesn't apply to :
Kickstarters, Podcasts, Livestreams, Series, Movies, Music Composition, Sound Design
I repeat : This absolutely doesn't apply to personal games, nor professional dungeon masters (the DMs who are paid by players to run games).
License
The license is perpetual (unlimited in time), that means if you unsubscribe, the license still holds for the elements you released during the time you were subscribed and respectful of the conditions herein.
The license is non-transferable, meaning if you run the Patreon pages called "Best Maps" and "Sci-Fi Maps", you'll have to subscribe with each of them. Naturally, if you rename any of your pages, the license still holds. What matters is the link between the said page and ours.
The license allows you to apply basic alterations such as cropping or changing the volume. If you have a specific need, we can collaborate or you can commission us.
The license is not retroactive by itself. If you want to add audio to older maps, modules and projects, contact us.
Credits
You have to credit Michael Ghelfi Studios. The name is well-known in the TTRPG milieu, so it's always a good plus for you to mention us.
The credits must be added :
On the Patreon releases
On the shop pages for the product (with links to patreon and/or our similar shop page such as the bazaar)
In the FoundryVTT modules (journal page by example)
(Optional but appreciated) On some promotional images along with our logo and/or name if you mention the presence of AUDIO. You can get the logo here.
The credits must lead to our Patreon page or to the official website, when possible.
Usage
You can share a limited number of ambiences, songs and music per scene or map in a module (see below). They must serve a narrative or contextual purpose.
What it means is that you cannot add ambiences to bloat the amount of content artificially. To give an example, if you share a map of a desert, you can add the ambience of a desert, but you cannot add the ambience of a desert temple, a sandstorm, a caravan, or an oasis 'just in case' the DM wants to add one.
Phased maps (FoundryVTT Content) count as different maps.
AUDIO can only be added to content behind a paywall of some sort. You cannot distribute free content with our work in it. If you want to do that, you need Michael's written permission beforehand.
The AUDIO can only be added to content that is released within the same month of an active membership of the correct tier.
The Bandcamp albums must be downloaded separately, as Patreon cannot be linked with Bandcamp.

Comments
Can I use the Professional DM tier to use sounds in Live streams of games that are later posted on Youtube and Podcast format?

2021-10-18 13:46:33 +0000 UTCHello! Thank you for your question. This absolutely doesn't apply to personal games of course! If by 'professional DnD games' you mean pro DMs who run games for money, the 'Sage' tier is made for them, as explained in my conditions of use on my website :)

2021-10-18 13:12:34 +0000 UTCJust so I’m clear, this only applies if we are taking your content and then using it in something we are selling. This does not apply if we are using your content in our personal or professional DnD Games?
