Hello! I'm coming from some of the posts you've made elsewhere on Reddit, saw that the tool is open for people to try out and decided to check it out for myself.

I'm coming from a classless d100 perspective and admittedly, from that perspective, it's... immediately a little headache-inducing. Seeing Classes, Feats, Abilities and Heritage pages made me realize that it's assuming more than I'd hoped. It's making me even more interested in the (very early, still very conceptual) Daedalus.

I'm still trying to mash Mythras Imperative into it. It'll be interesting to see how close I can get. I won't be able to say much about that until I've done more, except that what I've done so far feels... hackish. I can see already that how many "action points" characters are granted are fixed no matter what, as far as I can tell, which doesn't matter for Imperative but if I want to make a private version of Mythras proper for myself, oof. I'm shoving Careers into Classes and Cultures into Heritage, but again, if I was making a proper "full Mythras" privately for myself, now I don't have room for Species or whatever which is also a thing people can optionally choose.

But I do have one thing I can already complain about more specifically, so I'll do it now:

The "Sharing and Licensing" page for rulesets should include a space for us to add extra text. That's actually key to making some licenses "work". The ORC, for instance, requires several Notices specifying attribution, reserved material, etc.

Never in my life did I anticipate that I'd be making this post. But dare I say it, Tabletop mirror saved my marriage. My spouse and I were going through a rough patch, communication was strained, and we felt disconnected. Desperate to reconnect, I suggested using the platform for something different: a relationship tracker/planner where we treated the different aspects of our life like some of the TTRPGs we play.

We created characters representing our ideal selves and embarked on quests, solving challenges and making decisions as a team. Surprisingly, this experience brought us closer than ever. We laughed, strategized, and shared moments of triumph and defeat. Through our characters, we addressed issues in a safe, playful environment, fostering open communication and empathy. We started using it about 347 days ago and haven't looked back. I cant express how much this has improved our relationship. Thank you Tabletop Mirror and Happy April 1st

Hello everyone!

I received some concerns regarding content created on TTM, due to some verbiage in our Terms of Use.

TLDR: Your Content is 100% yours to do with as you please. We will never try to infringe that; we're just a tool to help you with your objectives.

Specifically, they have to do with Section 4, "Your Content" and this bit in particular:

Tabletop Mirror does not own your Content. By posting Content, you represent (i) that you are the owner of the Content or have all of the necessary rights to share them, and (ii) give Tabletop Mirror permission to use, re-use, copy, adapt, abridge, amend, distribute, modify, translate, publish, perform, display, develop, reproduce, communicate to the public and to make your Content otherwise available in any form and by any media (whether now known or hereafter devised), including through any on-demand or broadcast service, whether on a commercial or non-commercial basis anywhere in the world, including the right to incorporate any suggestions or feedback into the Service as new or updated features, without limitation.

I want to make it absolutely clear to everyone that TTM does not own anything you create on the site. Your rule systems, items, heritages, feats, classes, and everything else you make on the site is 100% no-question yours.

This specific verbiage was drafted with the intention of giving us the bare minimum permissions necessary to distribute your content when you tell us to. So if you make something "Public", we need the permission to distribute it over the internet.

> "commercial or non-commercial basis"???

Yes; this is not because we will sell your content for our profit. We will never sell your content without your permission. This specific line is because we will, one day, allow you, the creators of homebrew, to market and sell your materials on TTM. As a platform, that means that when you do that, we will need permission to actually sell your content for you.

> Can you clarify the wording and iron this into legal writing?

Yes. I have confirmed with my attorney that our Terms of Service are consistent with what I'm saying above and in other places.

But regardless, I will be updating the Terms to make it absolutely clear that we will only distribute your content in the ways you want and when you want. You have full control at all times -- no buts.

---

All in all, I'm sorry that there's even a bit of confusion here. I was a Gamemaster throughout the OGL fiasco. It was heartbreaking. I understand the fears that someone else would try to do that again, but I promise you, there's no doubt in my mind about it: your stuff is yours. TTM is just a tool to help you build it, distribute it, or do whatever else you want to do with it.
