Question about reusing Dragon art


Dragon Magazine General Discussion

Hello!

Even though I have never taken a subscription to either Dragon or Dungeon, I have faithfully bought each issue from my local gaming shop for the last 10-or-so years. Thanks to Paizo for all that you have brought me! I'm not sure that an electronic version will be ever able to replace the feeling of touching the magazine and taking it along to continue reading it in various places ... but that's a whole different debate.

My question here is about whether or not some of the art published in the magazine can be re-used for personal projects (without any goal to make money off it), and what conditions are required to do so.

I am currently working on writing a campaign set in Impiltur, and I would like to re-use a couple of drawings by Cyril Van Der Haegen published along with George Krashos's excellent article "The Forgotten Kingdom" in Dungeon 346. The final goal would be to include those two pictures in free downloadable documents available on a fan website (once the project is completed).

Can I just scan the pictures off my paper copy and use them if I mention where they come from? Or is this a big no-no? Or should I write a formal application to request your authorization to do so?

Thanks!

Those copyrights are held by Wizards of the Coast, and we can't speak on their behalf—you'll have to ask them.

Hey

If you ask Wizards and get an answer, can you post it here?

Inquiring minds want to know the same answer. Thanks!
