Media and assets

Uploads in Fabled (a portrait, a battle map, a sound clip, a handout PDF) are first-class objects called assets. Every asset lives in your account-level media library and has three pieces of metadata that govern its visibility:

• Owner. The account that uploaded the asset. Owner has full control: rename, delete, change scope.
• Scope. Who else can see the asset (private, campaign, marketplace, public).
• Usage. The list of campaigns and elements that reference this asset. Tells you what would break if you deleted it.

Asset scopes

Four scopes cover almost every case:

• Private. Only the owner can see it. Default for new uploads. Use for character portraits, secret maps, GM-only handouts.
• Campaign. Visible to everyone in a specific campaign. Use for shared maps, party tokens, items the players need to see.
• Marketplace. Bundled into a marketplace listing. Visible to anyone who has bought the bundle. Use this when you sell content; the marketplace pipeline handles the scope upgrade automatically when you publish.
• Public. Visible to anyone with a Fabled account. Rare; usually reserved for free promotional content the platform itself surfaces.

Reusing assets across campaigns

An asset can be referenced from multiple campaigns at once. The same battle map you bought from the marketplace shows up as a single asset in your library; dropping it into a new campaign creates a reference, not a copy. Edit the asset in one place and every campaign that references it sees the new version.

If you genuinely want a campaign-specific variant (a town map with one campaign's faction borders drawn on), duplicate the asset first and edit the copy. The library makes the duplicate explicit so you do not accidentally overwrite the shared version.

Storage limits

Each Fabled tier comes with a storage cap on the media library. Free-tier accounts have a small cap suitable for one or two campaigns; paid tiers have larger caps. The library's settings page shows your current usage; campaign-level dashboards show how much of your storage that specific campaign accounts for.

Marketplace-purchased content does NOT count against your storage cap. The platform serves it from the seller's account.

Supported formats

The library accepts the formats the table actually renders:

• Images: PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF (animated GIFs are supported on tokens and frames).
• Audio: MP3, OGG. Used for ambient tracks and sound effects on the table.
• Documents: PDF. Inline-rendered in the handout viewer.

Other formats can sometimes be uploaded but are not guaranteed to render correctly. If a file does not display the way you expect, convert it to one of the supported formats before re-uploading.

Where to go from here

• If you are about to publish an asset to the marketplace, the Marketplace overview concept covers the seller side end-to-end.
• If you want to know what counts against your tier's storage, the Subscriptions and tiers concept page lists each tier's caps and entitlements.
