What is the DungeonFog Commercial License?

The DungeonFog Commercial License is a licensing option provided by DUNGEONFOG GMBH for users who wish to use maps created with our editors for commercial purposes. It grants specific permissions to individuals or businesses to sell maps, use maps as part of paid content, or monetize content that includes DungeonFog maps.

When do I need a DungeonFog Commercial License?

You need a DungeonFog Commercial License if you engage in any of the following activities:

  • Selling Maps for Money - If you intend to sell maps created with DungeonFog, whether physically or digitally, directly or as part of a product you sell, you are required to obtain a commercial license.
  • Selling Map Packs - If you plan to sell map packs or content including DungeonFog-created maps on digital platforms like DrivethroughRPG or DMsGuild, you need a commercial license. An exception is made if you offer this content for free and only ask for optional tips.
  • Patreon, Ko-Fi, etc. Rewards - If you provide DungeonFog maps to your supporters through platforms like Patreon or Ko-Fi, etc. without charge, you do not require a commercial license. However, if you include DungeonFog maps as part of any paid tier or reward system, the commercial license is essential to comply with DungeonFog's licensing terms.
  • Other Content Behind a Paywall - If you create content such as videos, streams, or other forms of media that include DungeonFog maps, and this content requires payment to access, you must obtain a commercial license.
  • Monetized Platforms - You don't need a commercial license if you use DungeonFog maps as part of a video or stream, even if your platform is monetized. We would appreciate though, if you would add a shout out to us and offer a link to our website.
Is there a specific revenue threshold for the commercial license?

Yes, if your annual revenue related to activities mentioned above exceeds 100,000.00 EUR, you are required to get in contact with DungeonFog to discuss and obtain a different commercial license.

What rights does the DungeonFog Commercial License grant me?

The DungeonFog Commercial License grants you the right to use DungeonFog maps for commercial purposes as outlined above. It ensures that you can monetize your content while respecting DungeonFog's terms and conditions. To make sure that your maps are protected under the commercial license, you need to register them through the map option “Register Commercial License” that is available in your map settings (visible once you have a commercial license).

Is the DungeonFog Commercial License a one-time purchase, or does it require annual renewal?

The DungeonFog Commercial License is an annual subscription. By default, this subscription is set to auto-renew, ensuring continuous access to the Commercial License benefits. However, if you wish to adjust the renewal settings, you can do so in your subscription settings. This flexibility allows you to manage your subscription according to your needs and preferences.

What are the consequences of not obtaining a DungeonFog Commercial License when required?

Other Questions

Why is the Campaign Manager not considered a VTT?

We do not consider the Campaign Manager to be a VTT because it does not include all the tools you expect a VTT to have. We did however want to provide a tool to use your maps in a virtual environment to enhance your games. With our Campaign Manager you are able to display maps through systems like projectors, TV or PC screens and have your party explore your maps with active Fog of War.
