Roll20 Market
- At the moment, the Roll20 Market doesn’t settle for any product that makes use of AI-generated artwork.
DriveThru Marketplaces, together with Neighborhood Content material Packages and Supported Marketplaces
- At the moment, DriveThru Marketplaces don’t settle for standalone paintings merchandise that make the most of AI-generated artwork.
- At the moment, DriveThru Marketplaces require publishers to set their very own AI-generated paintings insurance policies on Sport, Rulebook and Journey merchandise. Any merchandise that make the most of AI-generated paintings should be tagged as such.
Now it’s not my intent to spark a debate about using AI generated paintings. As I do intend to make use of each Roll 20 and DriveThruRPG as distribution channels for digital variations of Fearful Ends, I’ll observe their lead and be sure that no AI generated artwork is utilized in Fearful Ends.
I imply, we don’t want it. We’ve got some attractive paintings from quite a lot of artists already, together with Kat Dolan‘s unimaginable cowl, Valerie Mild‘s pleasant inside artwork, and Chris Graniss’s skilled format. All that is being overseen by the inestimable Colleen Nachtrieb working not solely as artwork director, however now rolling up her sleeves to revamp the playing cards themselves!
To be utterly clear, I’ve used AI generated paintings in some tangential areas. There was a placeholder cowl at one level that was AI generated earlier than we received Kat on board, nevertheless it was at all times meant to get replaced. I’ve additionally used AI generated artwork for the banners of those weblog posts, although I do desire wherever doable to make use of precise paintings from the sport, or generally freely distributable artwork discovered on pixabay. I’ll make an effort going ahead to incorporate accreditation to paintings used on this weblog, and ensure no AI generated artwork makes it into the ultimate product or any advertising and marketing supplies for this venture.
