Product Description

Maps

The number in the name of the map packages refers to the number of maps in the map package.

Each map has 4 versions (So number of pieces x4):

  • VTT Gridless version: Smaller resolution png files primarily designed for online gaming
  • Gridless High Resolution version: Basically high-resolution pre-print version that can be equipped and used with your own grids as needed. Due to the high resolution, they are also suitable for other business purposes.
  • Normal Grid High Resolution version: High-resolution grid version for printing.
  • Hexgrid High Resolution version: High-resolution hexgrid version for printing.
  • About Map printing size:

  • Alongside the current sizes, the high-resolution Normal grid, Hexgrid, and Gridless versions are optimized for printing in A1 and B1 sizes, where each square will be 1 inch in size (26x17 inches). Of course, I also provide high-resolution grids with different line thickness if someone wants to customize the Gridless version according to their individual preferences.

  • Commercial usage right:
  • Please note that these will be guiding descriptions. What is explicitly not included in the commercial usage right: is the direct resell right in this form, with identical content. The following are only descriptions of what can potentially be used for and a description of how the resell right can be possible alongside the current commercial usage right.
  • Commercial Usage Right: RPG Maps
  • The purpose of this document is to define the commercial usage right of RPG maps (hereinafter referred to as "Content") and the associated permissions that the content owner (hereinafter referred to as "Owner") can grant to third parties. The commercial usage right includes the following:
  • Integration into Own Products: The Content is permitted to be used in self-created rule-based games where it is directly integrated as a game element.
  • Revenue Generation Activities: The Content can be utilized for revenue-generating activities, such as game organization and dungeon master services for a fee.
  • Marketing Activities: The Content can be employed in marketing-related endeavors, such as promotional materials, advertisements, and online campaigns.
  • The commercial usage right explicitly does not include:
  • Reselling in its current form, i.e., unchanged and for the same purpose. The Owner exclusively permits sales when accompanied by added value in the form of expansions to the Content, comprising at least 20 percent of the original Content.
  • Any other usage not covered by the aforementioned commercial usage rights shall be subject to a separate licensing fee or a distinct agreement.
  • The mentioned permissions and restrictions are based on the principles of enforcing the rights of the Content and ensuring fair use. In the case of authorized usage, users are obligated to respect the original copyright of the Content and comply with the terms defined in this document.
  • This definition of the commercial usage right does not constitute a transfer or alteration of ownership or copyrights of the Content; it solely grants permission for the specified modes of usage.

Lifetime Access

  • I currently provide lifetime access to all maps through Google Drive. In case of any problems or changes, everyone will be notified in time before access becomes an issue.

RPG Map Assets

  • Each RPG Map Asset is a high-resolution file under 8 megabytes, which is within the limits of all online map-making programs that I am aware of. This means that they are both high-resolution and can be used everywhere.
  • The assets include both shaded and unshaded versions. They have a transparent background and are delivered in .png format.
  • They were basically created for the program called Inkarnate, but they can also be freely used for many other programs without restrictions.
  • The commercial use of the assets is specifically for the purpose of the owner of the commercial use right to use them to create maps and sell the maps as part of their own product.
  • In addition, the assets can also be part of any other product.
  • The use of the assets does not extend to the sale for the same purpose as I do: Therefore, the assets cannot be sold to third parties in digital form for the purpose of creating maps. The assets cannot be sold in physical form as tokens or in digital form as tokens.
  • The assets can also be used in the development of computer games, in books or as graphic elements. However, they are not suitable for resale on their own without added value, so I do not grant such a right.

Print and Play games

  • Print and Play games are available for personal use only.
  • The files include everything you need: Color copy, printer friendly, black and white.
  • The files are perfectly formatted for printing.

Coloring Books

  • Coloring Book products include:
  • Coloring Books and individual png files of each page of the Coloring Books.
  • Throughout the campaign, backers receive a Commercial Usage Right concerning the acquired images and artworks, which is valid for a lifetime for the respective product.
    For this digital product, the Commercial Usage Right is applicable as follows:
  • You are free to incorporate the images, whether modified or unmodified, into your own product, as long as the purpose of the product does not align with the fundamental purpose of this campaign and product. In other words, it should not be intended for use as a Coloring Book or Coloring Page. Possible uses include integration into your own board game, computer game, or other products.
    You can also freely use it for educational purposes in schools or kindergartens for the same purpose, in physical printed form – allowing children to have fun, draw, and color.
    It can be used in any creative video or similar creative content.
    Furthermore, it can be used as a template for your own artwork.
    In essence, it cannot be used for business purposes with the same purpose as I market it, but it can be used for other purposes. If you have questions about a specific use, feel free to ask; it can be utilized for many things. The basic goal of these restrictions is to avoid unintentional competition with my own intellectual property in the same market. 

One-Shots

Basic Commercial Usage Rights - Lifetime


For commercial purposes, the One-Shot can primarily be used as part of a paid DM service, where it is utilized as an adventure module.
Of course, parts of the One-Shot can be highlighted and used for commercial purposes, but only in the sense of inspiration.
(These basic commercial usage rights are not tied to any additional conditions, as the One-Shot indirectly generates revenue for you.)

Digital Resell Rights and Mandatory Data

The One-Shot can only be sold (or gifted) digitally if the required information is included in the digital edition, and the mandatory information is also displayed in the product description or on the product page of the distributor’s site.


The mandatory information to be displayed is as follows:
-All Rights Reserved by Benjamin Weisz  (Written in text, at the same size or larger than the average font size in the document.)
-www.wrpgmaps.com (Written in text, at the same size or larger than the average font size in the document.)
-QR Code for My Website - A QR code leading to the website, which must occupy at least 1/16 of the page on which it appears, relative to the average page size of the publication. (For safety, it’s recommended to use a slightly larger size, but the primary concern is that it can be scanned by phone. For A4 size, this is 155x219.25 pixels at 300ppi. For the QR code, the occupied area matters, not the aspect ratio.)
-Sales Rights Owned By: [Your Name/Company Name]
-Publisher
-Printing press (Optional)

 

Translation Grants the following Rights

After translating the One-Shot, you gain a lifelong digital sales right for the One-Shot; however, you are obligated to display the required information in every case. Upon request, you are required to provide the version you translated to Benjámin Weisz and grant him full rights for commercial use in any way. Alternatively, if he acquires your translation by other means, such as purchase, he is also free to use it. Therefore, the product cannot be alienated from its owner, and in exchange for digital sales rights, Benjámin Weisz has a legitimate claim to use any translated versions for commercial purposes without further expenses.

Renew Digital Resell Right

First, within 365 days of purchasing the One-Shot, you must either gift 25 "copies" in a verifiable way or sell 10 "copies", also in a verifiable way. (I won’t ask for the verification, but make sure to store the documents properly.)

Following this, the Royalty Free Commercial Usage Right is extended by an additional 730 days. During this next 730-day period, you must gift at least 50 "copies" in a verifiable way or sell at least 20 "copies", again verifiably. This is the condition for each subsequent 730-day period, meaning a minimum release is required to retain the physical resale rights you've obtained.

 

 

The PHYSICAL RESELL RIGHT applies to the One-Shot purchased here. However, certain conditions must be met.

First, within 365 days of purchasing the One-Shot, you must either print 25 copies in a verifiable way or sell 10 copies, also in a verifiable way. (I won’t ask for the verification, but make sure to store the documents properly.)

Following this, the Royalty Free Commercial Usage Right is extended by an additional 730 days. During this next 730-day period, you must print at least 50 copies in a verifiable way or sell at least 20 copies, again verifiably. This is the condition for each subsequent 730-day period, meaning a minimum release is required to retain the physical resale rights you've obtained.

If you run out of time and fail to meet the requirements for physical sales within the specified time intervals, you will no longer be allowed to publish, print, or sell physical copies of this One-Shot.

Additionally, the following conditions must also be met: You must modify the document with the elements available here. (To make things easier, each page of the One-Shot is also available as a separate .png file.)

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/17JT8jCbbN3f1D7UY64fdwORU-Jht5ZtF?usp=sharing

What the physical copy must contain:
-All Rights Reserved by Benjamin Weisz  (Written in text, at the same size or larger than the average font size in the document.)
-www.wrpgmaps.com (Written in text, at the same size or larger than the average font size in the document.)
-QR Code for My Website - A QR code leading to the website, which must occupy at least 1/16 of the page on which it appears, relative to the average page size of the publication. (For safety, it’s recommended to use a slightly larger size, but the primary concern is that it can be scanned by phone. For A4 size, this is 155x219.25 pixels at 300ppi. For the QR code, the occupied area matters, not the aspect ratio.)

Additionally, the following must appear:
1. The name of the supporter associated with the physical publication rights.
2. The publisher’s name.
3. The printer’s name. (Optional but recommended.)

Possible ways to display this information: If the publication is presented as a standalone physical version, this information must appear on either the first two pages or the last two pages. (So, either on the front cover, first page, last page, or back cover.) If the One-Shot is part of an anthology, this information must appear on either the first two pages or the last two pages. (Front cover, first page, last page, or back cover.) OR You can display the required information on the page following the One-Shot or on its last page. The required information must appear together on one page as a single unit. (This means the information cannot be scattered across multiple pages in the printed copy.)
The text that must be displayed is required to be clearly separated from the background and must be easily readable.

Reasoning: The rights remain with you as long as you make use of them. I do not ask for royalties on any published copies, but it is mandatory that I appear as the creator and that my website is included in the publication. So, instead of royalties, I only ask for advertising space in the physical and digital copy.

I believe this is a fair agreement between the two of us, so whether you have a small business or a larger printing company, this will be beneficial for both of us.

 

Aside from the One-Shot itself, what else will we receive to make the physical release or translation process easier?
