Flying frog

It's not a frog, and it doesn't fly, which is why the name works. The animal kingdom is full of creatures named based on what they look like rather than what they are.

Will people be able to use the maps they make with this tool in commercial products?

My group is all freelance TTRPG designers and veteran playtesters, and we've modded other systems to fit our group's tastes before, but we couldn't fix Houses of the Blooded. There are some systems that are so poorly written that they can't be salvaged. Glad you haven't run into one yourself.

The opposite is also true. A great GM and great players aren't enough to overcome a shitty game.

You just need one, at least for websites. I've yet to find an AI button that I couldn't be permanently rid of with the element picker in uBlock Origin.

Speaking of things that are filmed months before release, is there another season of Breaking News in the pipes, or has that show run its course?

Maisie's reaction to meeting one of the Lionesses will always be one of my favorite panel show moments.

Nowhere. I don't want to leave Orden. Hell, I'm happy staying in Vasloria.

If I want to play space adventures, there are other games built from the groud up for that.

And having space aliens show up in my medieval Europe analogue kills my verisimilitude faster than anything else.

One important thing about the ShareAlike license is that the ShareAlike provision ONLY applies to the content under that license.

So if you use a CC BY-SA font in your product, you still retain copyright for everything but the font and DO NOT have to release the whole project under a free license.

Let's say you're doing a translation into Portuguese. The new digital attribution would be:

Draw Steel Glyphs in Portuguese is adapted from Draw Steel Glyphs Font by MCDM Productions, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. Draw Steel Glyphs in Portuguese is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0 by [your name here].

2) ShareAlike. This means that if you modify the font package, you must do two things:

a) release the modifications under the same CC BY-SA 4.0 license

b) when you do the attribution, indicate that you've made modifications (and optionally, in a few, words what they are)
