Suggestion for new licensing and fan contribution category

[DeDiceManCometh]

I think VTTs have become such a robust thing-unto-themselves that they transcend just being considered "software" or "apps." Alain should brainstorm with Phil and come up with a coherent, distinct VTT policy for (a) Assets (art, text) and (b) rules implementations (scripting, ruleset configuration files).

It really has evolved into a whole different animal than, say, character creation apps, or social media platforms (remember webring?).

Just saying.

Peace,

As they are made and run by different companies, each with their own license and use terms this can get pretty tangled too.

The comments of the DeDiceManCometh bear consideration; we want games to be fun but we must also protect the intellectual work of humans.

VTTs were how my group kept gaming during the covid shutdowns. They aren't the same as playing face-to-face, but they can be useful when that isn't possible.

The usual arrangement seems to be an app, and various game-specific plug-in modules.
