Cloud subscriptions

[PatJe]

We don't know, how the fees for cloud service will be. But maybe - after the release - it could be nice to have two cloud services: One to share content via a kind of marketplace, and one to share it just with your players and to sync it on your computers.

But this discussions should wait until we have more information on pricing and services.

My primary interest, however, is in the ways they are planning to use the cloud capabilities for my gaming group: accessing the data from any device, anywhere for review or creation (waiting for a dentist's appointment), and sharing selected information with my players (especially once they complete per-character sharing and multiple characters per player).

Ok, well here is a question, if your running an adventure or using material from a given game source, how can you import maps, stats, or basically anything on to your files (which are maintained/held by LW) when they are copyrighted to another company? Can you? Must you get said company's permission (Hah!) or will you need a calvin clone type version of the information to upload?

Similar to using a print adventure that you purchased by a publisher, as long as you are using it for personal purposes (IE - your game session), you can put it into Realm Works. If you share it with the wider gaming community or attempt to sell it, then you could be at risk for licensing issues.

Hopefully your desired adventure will be sold by the publisher within Realm Works and it won't be an issue at all!

Just to clarify Liz's comment above, you CAN reveal material to the members of your gaming group through the course of play, just like you would with print/PDF material. That's the intended use of the material when it's sold by the publisher. However, you CANNOT just share an entire adventure with someone else. Again, just like would be the case with print/PDF material.

Hope this helps!
