What resources may I use?

Post by Leslie »

It may be a strange question, but I'd like to ask which resources (graphics, sounds...) I am allowed to use in costom dungeons. There's plenty of cool stuff on the net, but most if it is some sort of personal property, right? Is it okay to use net resources for custom dungeons anyway, or do I have to draw everything my myself?
What are the bells that never ring? Enchanting smell, beautiful thing.
What are the lions that never roar? The wind blows their children far over the shore.
What are the gloves not worn by the hand? But worn by the foxes throughout the land.

Technically and legally you can't use anything belonging to someone else without their permission.

However, we've all used assets from old games in our custom dungeons. I think the rationale is that because those old games aren't being sold, and we're only keeping the dungeons within this community for fun (not profit), then it's OK to use those old game resources.
