Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of the terms

By accessing JDR Ninja, you fully and unconditionally accept these terms. If you do not accept any of these terms, you must not use the site.

JDR Ninja may modify these terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an update date. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes your acceptance of the new terms.

2. Service description

• A directory of TTRPG creators and resources.
• Public tools and generators.
• An authentication system to create an account (Dojo).
• Additional modules and features, documented below.

Access to the site is free. Some advanced features may be reserved for Patreon contributors.

3. Modules and features

3.1 Currently active modules

• Find a Table: Matchmaking platform for creators and players. Listings, applications and built-in messaging.
• Procedural generators: Public tools that generate random content (quests, names, scenario hooks, technobabble, restaurant menus, SciFi maps). These generators are procedural and not AI-based.
• Directories: Creators, resources, news, tags, rankings, selections.
• Blog and news: Articles and community news.
• Atlas (Worlds and Campaigns): Personal space to create and publish worlds and campaigns. Some advanced features are reserved for Patreon contributors.
• Fabula (solo role-playing games): Free solo role-playing games, played in the browser without an account; the journal stays on the player's device.
• Fatum (interactive adventure books): Interactive adventures to play for free in the browser, with or without an account. Signed-in members can write their own in the Fatum workshop and publish them under their name.

3.2 Modules in preparation

The following module is under development and will be activated later:

• Crowdfunding: Crowdfunding platform for TTRPG projects.

The terms of use for this module will be updated when it is activated.

4. Intellectual property and copyright

4.1 Your content

You retain all rights to the content you create and publish on JDR Ninja: articles, worlds, campaigns, adventures, images, descriptions, etc.

By publishing content on the site, you grant JDR Ninja a non-exclusive, free and perpetual licence to display, distribute and archive your content as part of the operation of the site and the promotion of the project (including on social networks and search engines).

You may remove your content at any time through your account or by contacting [email protected].

In Fatum, your adventures (texts, images and rules) are your content within the meaning of this section. A published adventure can be played by any visitor, with or without an account, at a public address that carries your name. You may take it out of the catalogue at any time: it then remains playable for anyone who knows its address. You may also delete it: it then disappears from the site.

Comments you post on an adventure's page are public and signed with your username. You may delete your comments, and withdraw the rating you gave, at any time.

4.2 Respect for third-party copyright

You agree not to infringe the copyrights of other persons or companies. This means:

• Do not copy, adapt or reproduce protected content without permission.
• Do not upload content belonging to others (images, texts, music, intellectual property of other creators).
• Do not use the site's resources to circumvent copyright.
• Respect licences (Creative Commons, exclusive ownership, etc.).

If you create content based on other people's universes or properties (fan fiction, fan art, derivative content), you are responsible for verifying that this is permitted by the owners of those universes.

4.3 Rights of JDR Ninja

JDR Ninja owns the rights to its design, code, logos and features. You may not reproduce, modify, distribute or commercialize these elements without written permission.

4.4 Token creator graphic elements and exported tokens

The frames and ornaments offered in the token creator (the “graphic elements”) are supplied by JDR Ninja for use exclusively within this module, to compose a token. Outside of that use, you are granted no right to retrieve or extract a graphic element's file, use it separately, copy it, adapt it, republish it, redistribute it, resell it, make it available, or integrate it into another tool, a resource collection, a template or a reusable product.

This restriction does not apply to the final flattened token exported by the module. Provided you hold the necessary rights to the images and other content you import, you may use, reproduce, modify, publish, share, distribute, commercialize and grant usage rights to that exported token, for any lawful personal or commercial purpose, without further permission from JDR Ninja and without any attribution obligation. The rights you pass on to a third party concern only the flattened token, never a graphic element as a reusable asset.

An export designed to recover a graphic element as a reusable asset, for example a frame or an ornament alone on a transparent background, or any attempt to isolate a graphic element, does not constitute an authorized final token.

The rights granted over a validly exported token remain applicable if the graphic element used is later removed from the module. You remain responsible for your imported content and for the lawful use of the exported token.

5. User responsibilities
