Licensing

Find the right door before you start downloading.

The old FAQ acted as a master post for recurring Discord and direct-message questions: what is free, what membership unlocks, how Patreon access works, where Dungeondraft and Foundry tools live, and when commercial licensing is required.

Assets

Standalone PNG and WebP mapmaking pieces.

The complete assets library collects mapmaking assets and textures, with live gallery browsing for public assets and tokens.

Free path

Use the Assets page and live gallery for public downloads.

Premium path

Membership unlocks release archives, variants, WebP workflows, pCloud sync, and Dungeondraft packs.

Tokens

Top-down creatures, NPCs, and adventurers.

The tokens library includes standalone PNG/WebP token files, public free variants, and premium expansion paths for color variants and source-style files.

Free tokens

One variant of many tokens is made available publicly.

Higher tiers

Explorer-style perks include editable CLIP files for deeper token customization.

Battlemaps

Separate cartography project.

FA Battlemaps is its own Patreon-supported project with public free map versions and premium supporter content.

Free maps

Free versions are typically gridded and lower resolution.

Premium maps

Support the dedicated Battlemaps Patreon for exclusive battlemap content and Foundry workflows.

Tools

Dungeondraft, Nexus, and Foundry routes.

Use Dungeondraft packs for standalone mapmaking software, Nexus for Foundry-side FA browsing and mapmaking, and the Battlemaps module for prepared scenes.

Dungeondraft

Converted packs are Patreon/member content.

Nexus

The Foundry module brings catalog search and workflow tools into the canvas.

What is free?

Personal-use access is broad.

The old FAQ states that most content is free, and the About page frames free original-color assets and tokens as a core accessibility goal.

Personal use

Use the public libraries for games, prep, and non-commercial table work.

Read the license

All use still sits under the Forgotten Adventures license agreement.

How does premium access work?

Patreon connects to the website.

Membership and Patreon access are connected through the account flow; after connecting, gated downloads and premium paths can appear on the relevant library pages.

Account first

Use Account/Settings when access does not look right.

Patreon roles

Discord roles are handled through Patreon and Discord connection.

Can I use FA commercially?

Compensation changes the route.

Receiving compensation for products using FA artwork is commercial use and requires an approved commercial license before publishing.

Fan content

Free derivative releases may be allowed under the fan-content license if the license terms are followed.

Paid products

Read the agreement, then use the commercial application.

Common Workflow Details

Quick technical answers.

The old FAQ notes that FA draws assets and maps at 200x200px per grid square at 200ppi, while tokens are drawn at double that scale. It also points users toward Clip Studio Paint for FA-style mapmaking and brushes.

Need account help?

Check the login state first.

If a download or premium area is missing, confirm login and Patreon connection before contacting support.

Useful context

Account email, connected Patreon status, target page, tier, and screenshot.

Need permission clarity?

Use the licensing route.

If a project involves sales, subscriptions, crowdfunding, VTT module distribution, or monetized releases, start from the commercial application.

Useful context

Project description, platform, revenue model, and planned use of FA content.
