To support the people that make them!

Nobody is credited for the work here, it is a fly by night AI dump.

I understand your concerns, and I really appreciate your attention to detail. Our goal is to provide high-quality content for the community, and we take pride in our commitment to transparency. The domain is new because we recently launched this project, but our team has extensive experience in design and creating content for role-playing games. We've invested time and resources to ensure each map is crafted and ready for use on gaming platforms.

We’re not being evasive; we genuinely want to address any doubts and be as transparent as possible. If you have any specific questions or concerns, feel free to ask, and we’ll clarify them right away. We’re here to build a trusting relationship with the community!

How can you say something like that? from what pulpit, I'm trying to take credit for our work done, what should I do? publish name surname date of birth and place of residence of every person who is working on the project? if you don't want to support us you are free to do so, but you can't allow yourself to discredit our long and hard work by saying that it's AI garbage without even having viewed the material.

what should I do? publish name surname date...of every person who is working on the project?

Yes, 100% this is what you should do. Evidence of the work in process would be appropriate.

you can't allow yourself to discredit our long and hard work

Who is "our"? Names, please.

I think it’s pretty clear this is very suspect to say the least …

So, if you think you have some advice, please share how you think we should try to stand out in this field. We've been fully transparent from the start. Our project is new, but we’ve been working on it for a long time. If you have suggestions on how we could be clearer or more convincing to gain support, we’re open to them—we’re not marketing experts. We’re just trying to contribute to the community, asking only a modest fee compared to the hard work behind this. We even offer a satisfaction guarantee or your money back.

Honestly, I don’t see where the problem lies. If you want to support us, we’re thrilled. If not, that’s fine too. Our commitment to the community is ongoing, and we’ll keep it up regardless. However, it's unfair to judge our work as "trash" simply because we’re new and not well-known yet.

I’d also like to mention that all of our 1,000+ customers have been very satisfied with our service, with no complaints. In fact, they’ve helped us improve with small suggestions or simply by spreading the word and recommending us to friends and acquaintances.

Who is "we", kimosabe?

Crediting the artists who worked on your project would be a normal expectation, I would imagine. And would go a long way to reassuring people. The fact you aren't crediting the artists specifically would be a warning sign for me, regardless of the existence of AI.

To build on what @Marc Radle and @Reef has said, your website pops up out of nowhere and you suddenly claim 1000+ happy customers. 1000 plus buyers is something that any indie ttrpg would be thrilled to have and you burst out like Athena from Zeus's forehead with that many. And as you can see from this thread, we "passionate rpgers" are skeptical of your claims and website offerings so where did the 1000+ people come from that don't have the same immediate qualms that we all did.

Your website doesn't say anything about the company or the artists. Where are based out of? Are you based in Russia? Who are the people involved, provide their profiles like any good new business. The more you say, "we are a group of passionate artists and rpgers" the more it sounds like you are hiding something. "Trust me. I'm trustworthy." You don't provide any actual watermarked full maps on the site that I can see only tiny thumbnails. There are many red flags here, and if you aren't aware of them then you aren't being very savvy about the TTRPG world and this audience.

Thanks for your suggestion Reef, I'm not saying that I did all the work alone, I've always spoken in the plural and said that I did this project with other friends and dm experts etc. none of us are interested in "fame" that's why we decided not to put names and surnames on the site. if you suggest that to reassure people we should put the name and surname of the people who worked on it we will certainly do it. we didn't think people would be so skeptical or doubtful about something like that.
thanks for the advice Reef

Thanks for this suggestion it will surely be added to the FAQ.
We didn't do it because it's not actually a question that I get asked often

You see, more red flags. If you were all "passionate ttrpg" players then you would know that talking about what a scam AI art is (cheating artists by scanning their work to teach the algorithm) then you would know what a HUGE hot button issue this is across the vast majority of ttrpg podcasts, ttrpg discord channels and ttrpg message boards on this one. Pretty much 99.9% of all people who work in the TTRPG industry are ideologically opposed to using generative AI for projects. Rarely a day goes by without someone bringing up some new way it's snaking into our lives and our work.
