FAQ
Do you have questions? So does the Sphinx! We understand that World Anvil is a new way of doing things, so
if there is anything you need to ask then write to us on Twitter, Facebook or Discord.
What does it mean that my world or articles are Public?
A public world can be accessed by people visiting the website if they find their way to your page. Private worlds, which are available to guild members are worlds that can only be accessed by their owners, their co-authors and their assigned-by-the-owner subscribers.
A public worlds does not mean at any way that it is part of the public domain. Owners/Authors of public or private worlds hold exclusive and non-negotiable copyright of their work unless they state otherwise in their writing in their worlds. World Anvil will do its best to prove the ownership of said worlds if need be and will provide evidence of when any article was created and by which user (username/email). We take privacy and ownership very seriously. We are creators as well and we believe that a creator’s work should be protected by any mean possible within the letter of the law. You can read more about this on our ToC and Copyright policy on our footer.
How is World Anvil different from Scrivener?
World Anvil has little resemblance to Scrivener! Scrivener is an amazing tool for authors to write their work and organize it structurally. World Anvil is a system that allows you to keep information about your world’s content in an abstract and thematically organized way, and to cross-reference content.
Why use World Anvil and not OneNote or Google Docs for my world?
Both World Anvil and online editors provide a cloud-based accessible-from-everywhere service, but that’s where the similarity ends. World Anvil provides the creator with a structured, easy-to-link, and easy-to-search-through platform which guarantees fast and controlled access to their world. It also provides an attractive presentation mode for readers. The templating system is designed to be inspiring and thought-provoking, leading you to create more detailed and more complete worlds. Whereas a simple word processor might give you ‘blank page syndrome’, World Anvil will stimulate your creativity.
What if I want to copy someone else’s work for my world?
World Anvil was designed for writing your own original work. You are also free to use World Anvil to collect, post or edit material which is licensed as Creative Commons (as long as you observe the tenants of the specific license — attribution, remixing, etc.) or is in the Public Domain. This might include material from books which are out of copyright, or Wikipedia articles. It’s a good idea to mention which material is not your own in the Author’s Notes section, so as to avoid any confusion about authorship.
If you put up content which belongs to someone else and is their Intellectual Property — be that images, text or anything else — World Anvil reserves the right to take it down. We feel very strongly about Intellectual Property, and we will observe take down notices from content producers who have their rights infringed upon by our users, as per the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
Submitting verbatim copying of other people’s texts — regardless of licensing — in a World Anvil competition entry will get you disqualified from that competition.
What happens when my Guild membership account expires?
If you let your Guild membership expire your private articles remain as they are, private. You will not be able to edit them unless you make them public or renew your membership. You will still be able to see them.
Do my co-authors need a Guild Membership as well?
No! Only the owner of the world needs to have a guild membership. The only thing a co-author needs is a World Anvil account and the desire to write with you!
How is World Anvil different from Obsidian Portal?
Obsidian portal is geared towards allowing Storytellers and players to track a single RPG campaign. World Anvil is a tool for Storytellers who build their own worlds to present them and organize them the same way that a campaign setting book would. It tracks the overarching history and cosmology of a world in its entirety, rather than the adventures of a single group of characters.
Can I tell you my cool idea for a new feature?
Yes! Of course! We are planning to be completely transparent in regards to the future features and also allow our Guild Members to vote on which they feel would be more useful to them.
Is there a limit on articles, images or anything else?
No limits on articles or images, you can have as many as you want. The only limitation is the size of files you can store, and that can be extended, «…for a price — mwhahaah!»
What is the difference between a follower and a subscriber?
Followers are members of the community that will get updated anytime you post something publically. Subscribers will be able to view more tailor-made content, you can allow them access to secrets, private content etc. In the future, the plan is that you will be able to ask your subscribers to pay a one-time or monthly fee to have access to your ever-growing world!
Can I export my work?
Yes, you will be able to export everything you wrote. Your work is your work — period.
What about copyright?
Once again, your work is your work. We do not and will not in any way claim ownership over it. In fact, we plan and explore ways to make sure you can prove the ownership of your world. We value your intellectual property and we are here to protect it.
Do you have a question you couldn’t find the answer to?
Drop us a line at hello@worldanvil.com and we will be happy to answer it and update the FAQ.
