PSA:
So uh
Apparently Heroforge's TOS was updated to say that they'll own all rights to any character you make in it???
I'd recommend deleting anything you've saved in it at the least.
And this isn't the "technically own it so we can display it" kind of thing, either. >

As per https://www.heroforge.com/ToS/ :
"you expressly agree that all intellectual property rights in and to any and all character or other designs or any 3D Models that you may create on or through the site (“Character Designs”) and all Content are the property of Sky Castle Studios"
"you expressly agree that all intellectual property rights in and to any and all character or other designs or any 3D Models that you may create on or through the site (“Character Designs”) and all Content are the property of Sky Castle Studios"
To be clear: it's very specifically the second paragraph of the "intellectual property" section that's the problem. It specifies that you *transfer* the rights to character designs to them - not give a license to use. And, it differentiates between the specific 3d model you >
make and the character design itself.
There's some other language in section 7 that looks scary, but it's standard "we can do what we need to in order to display what you make" boilerplate.
