RPG Map Editor uses open-source software and may reference third-party assets or platform names. Ownership and redistribution rights should be verified before resale or commercial redistribution.

Asset libraries

Third-party map assets

Previous editor builds referenced third-party mapmaking assets, including Forgotten Adventures materials. Do not assume third-party asset packs are transferable, redistributable, or licensed for commercial resale unless the relevant licence and purchase terms confirm that right.

If you use third-party assets in a commercial product — printed books, paid Patreon tiers, published modules, or anything sold outside a personal gaming table — review the source licence directly. Buyer-facing licence notes are tracked in ASSET_LICENSES.md.
