Credits & Licences

Ink & Echo is built on the work of others as well as our own. This page records what we use, who made it, and the licence it comes to us under.

1. Game rules — SRD 5.2.1

The character options, creature statistics and rules reference used by Ink & Echo are derived from the System Reference Document 5.2.1, released under a Creative Commons licence. We are 5e-compatible: we build on the freely licensed reference document, and we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by its publisher.

The licence asks one thing of us in return — that we say clearly where the material came from. Here is that statement, reproduced word for word:

This work includes material taken from the System Reference Document 5.2.1 ("SRD 5.2.1") by Wizards of the Coast LLC, available at https://www.dndbeyond.com/srd. The SRD 5.2.1 is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License, available at https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode.

2. What is ours, and what is not

Everything the storyteller writes during your adventure, every world, story and character in our library, all of our artwork, and the game engine itself are our own work. The licensed reference material above supplies the rules vocabulary — species, classes, backgrounds, spells and creature statistics — and nothing more.

Some content on this site is written by the people who play here. Worlds, stories and characters that players create remain theirs; our terms explain the licence they grant us to host and display them.

3. Typefaces

We serve every typeface ourselves rather than loading it from a third-party font service, so that reading a page here does not quietly announce your visit to anyone else.

4. Music

Tracks in the music library carry their own attribution where the licence requires it; you can see it on each track’s page. Music generated for your adventures is produced by our own pipeline.

5. Corrections

If you believe something here is credited wrongly, or is missing a credit it should have, please tell us and we will put it right. Our copyright contact is on the Copyright & DMCA page.
