commitments
There are a number of things that I (Colm T Kehoe) as a creator believe in and intend to commit myself and the teams surrounding ‘Doryahl Tabletop’ and all other related content to.
Anti artificial intelligence
Doryahl Tabletop and all content created for the universe of Doryahl is strictly and vehemently against the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence for the creation of any writing or artwork. If you have been hired to create artwork for the Doryahl universe and are found to be using any form of Generative-AI any contracts or agreements with Colm T Kehoe that you have made will be considered void and you will be added to a ‘Blacklist’ to never again be permitted to work in an official capacity on the universe of Doryahl or anything else written or created by Colm T Kehoe.
environmental protection
As part of the creation of Doryahl Tabletop measures have been taken in order to minimise the carbon footprint left by its production. This includes a focus on ‘digital only’ content and print-to-order book production (when we get there) as well as using non-AI based search engines; such as Ecosia, when researching for the creation of Doryahl related content.
Supporting charitable organisations
Colm T Kehoe and the production of Doryahl Tabletop is commited to supporting charitable organisations both within and without The Republic of Ireland. There will be a primary focus on supporting small, less well represented charities, as well as Irish charities. Part of this commitment is to donate between 40 and 50% of all yearly profits produced by Colm T Kehoe’s writings and creations including any and all versions of Doryahl Tabletop.
accessibility and inclusivity
The entire production of Doryahl Tabletop is committed to making an accessible and enjoyable for anyone and everyone from all walks of life. This includes ensuring the regular updating of fillable PDF character sheets and the planned development of an application that will be user friendly and accessible to anyone with any and all intellectual or physical disability.
We are a diverse team that includes people from multiple countries, speaking multiple languages, and with varying gender and sexual orientations. The production of Doryahl Tabletop and related stories in committed to reflecting this point of view.
absolute ownership
If you have paid for any product created by Colm T Kehoe or were part of a Beta-Test group you will be considered to own the specific product you were given or bought in perpetuity without possibility of revokation of ownership for any reason.

rules for artists and writers
no generative ai usage
This is a golden rule, rule 1, no forgiveness policy. I don’t like it, it’s bad for art and media, no.
Hascrith and saramônah are off limits
In regards to The Union of Hascrithian Kingships, The Dahbhian Republic (Dahbh Fethyl), and Saramônah, I feel most connected to and affectionate towards these cultures and locations and want to be the only person writing canon stories for these places.
In terms of art for these areas, anyone can do things like creatures and people (you will be credited in the book next to any art you make) but the majority of artwork for the books and website will be made by myself and a good friend Jack Redmond (redjackdesign.carrd.co)
Space is a thing
There are two moons orbiting Bhérdón Rés and one other planet in the goldylocks zone of the star (Bhélgún).
The Galaxy is called Recomar and the universe is Doryahl.
Remember:
The words I use for things like the world, star, moons, universe, etc. are just in the language of Hószcré, if you make a new culture in space that connects to Bhérdón Rés you can absolutely make them use different words.
