INTERACTIVE TOOLS AND CALCULATORS

MageGate Games may provide calculators, estimators, generators, checklists, planning tools, and other interactive resources for informational and educational purposes. These tools are provided “as is” and are based on user-provided inputs, assumptions, formulas, and other variables that may not reflect actual results. Outputs are estimates only and are not financial, legal, tax, accounting, business, crowdfunding-platform, or other professional advice.

You are responsible for independently verifying relevant information and determining whether any output is appropriate for your circumstances.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Human vision. Human judgment. Human responsibility. AI-assisted execution where it improves the work.


MageGate Games uses artificial intelligence (“AI”) as part of a human-led creative and production workflow. AI may assist with research, brainstorming, drafting, editing, enhancement, and certain production tasks involving text, images, audio, video, software, or marketing materials.

  • AI is used to extend human capability—not as a substitute for human creativity, design, editorial judgment, art direction, or quality control.
  • Every published MageGate Games product is conceived, directed, reviewed, revised, edited, and approved by humans before release unless otherwise stated.
  • Depending on the title, AI assistance may be used during drafting, editing, refinement, illustration, or other production stages, with final published material remaining subject to human review, revision, and approval.
  • MageGate Games evaluates finished work by its quality, accuracy, usefulness, playability, and creative coherence—not by whether AI tools were used during production.


AI art varies by series:

  • Earlier books (250 Best Magic Items, Extreme Encounters, Game Master’s Guides) contain no AI-generated interior artwork. The only AI-generated artwork in these lines is on the front covers of the two Extreme Encounters: Weather & Terrain Omnibus volumes. Remaining cover and interior artwork is human-created.
  • Later releases from 2025 forward (for example, 5 Free, Heirloom Magic Items Revised Edition, and Legendary Lairs) make greater use of AI-generated illustrations for covers and interiors, alongside human-created artwork.


Unless otherwise noted on an individual product page, this AI Policy applies to current MageGate Games publications.

REVIEW POLICY

MageGate Games evaluates every product by the same standards, regardless of the tools used during its development. Our reviews focus on the quality of the finished work, including originality, creativity, usefulness, accuracy, craftsmanship, production quality, value, and—where applicable—playability.


Our goal is to provide honest, thoughtful, and constructive evaluations that help readers make informed purchasing decisions.


MageGate Games may earn an affiliate commission from some products we review or recommend, though not every product includes an affiliate relationship.

Affiliate commissions never influence our opinions. We recommend only products we have personally used, thoroughly evaluated, or would confidently use at our own table because we believe they provide genuine value to Game Masters and players.


⸻

GUEST CONTENT POLICY

MageGate Games may occasionally publish original articles on third-party websites, blogs, newsletters, magazines, or other publications to share practical tabletop RPG advice and reach new audiences.


Unless otherwise agreed in writing, MageGate Games retains the copyright to all original guest articles and grants the receiving publication permission to publish the work under the agreed terms. Some publications may request exclusive or non-exclusive publishing rights, which will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.


Guest articles may later be revised, expanded, or incorporated into MageGate Games websites, books, newsletters, or other publications when permitted by the applicable publishing agreement.


As with all MageGate Games content, guest articles may be developed with the assistance of artificial intelligence as a production tool. Every article is reviewed, curated, edited, and approved by humans at MageGate Games before publication unless otherwise stated.


Our goal is to create practical, accurate, and useful resources that benefit the tabletop RPG community, regardless of where they are published.

RIGHT TO MODIFY


MageGate Games Inc. reserves the right to modify or update these Terms at any time by revising this page.
