D&D Portal was designed, developed, published, and is maintained by Toon van Berkel.

The website was created as an accessible reference for players participating in Dungeons & Dragons campaigns managed by Toon van Berkel. Its primary purpose is to make campaign rules, character options, house rules, homebrew content, and commonly used game information easier to find and understand.

The website is an independently created fan resource. It is not an official Dungeons & Dragons product and is not operated, sponsored, endorsed, or specifically approved by Wizards of the Coast.

Although care is taken when writing and reviewing the website, mistakes, outdated information, broken links, unclear descriptions, and technical problems may still occur. Visitors are encouraged to report anything that appears to be incorrect or incomplete.

There are several ways to report a problem, recommend an improvement, or suggest new content.

1. Open an issue on GitHub

   Technical problems, content corrections, feature requests, accessibility problems, and suggestions for new pages should preferably be submitted through the public GitHub repository.

   Open the D&D Portal GitHub repository

   When opening an issue, please include as much relevant information as possible. A useful report should normally contain:

   • A clear and descriptive title.
   • A link to the page where the problem occurs.
   • A description of the current behaviour or content.
   • A description of what you expected to see instead.
   • Steps that can be used to reproduce a technical problem.
   • Screenshots, error messages, or code examples where relevant.
   • An explanation of why a proposed change would improve the website.
   • A source reference when suggesting a correction to an official rule.

   New content suggestions should also be submitted through an issue first. This allows the proposed addition to be discussed before development begins.

2. Send an email

   Visitors who do not have a GitHub account, or who need to discuss something that should not be posted publicly, can send an email to toonvanberkel.public@gmail.com.

   Please use a descriptive subject line and include the relevant page URL when reporting a website or content problem.

Community contributions are welcome when they help improve the accuracy, readability, accessibility, organisation, or technical quality of the website.

Before working on a significant addition, contributors should first open a GitHub issue describing the proposed change. This helps prevent duplicate work and makes it possible to discuss whether the addition fits the structure and purpose of the website.

Possible contributions include:

• Correcting spelling, grammar, or unclear wording.
• Reporting incorrect or outdated rule information.
• Improving keyboard navigation or screen-reader support.
• Fixing broken links or layout problems.
• Improving mobile and tablet usability.
• Adding missing source references.
• Improving page organisation and navigation.
• Suggesting new campaign tools or reference pages.
• Submitting technical improvements through a pull request.

Submitting a suggestion does not guarantee that it will be accepted or implemented. Proposed changes may be adjusted to match the website’s structure, writing style, campaign rules, accessibility requirements, and technical standards.

Please do not use the contact information on this page to request copies of commercial Dungeons & Dragons books or other copyrighted material.

Dungeons & Dragons rules, terminology, game mechanics, creature names, spell names, class names, species names, and other official game elements referenced on this website originate from publications and services created by Wizards of the Coast.

D&D Portal may contain summaries, explanations, campaign interpretations, reorganised reference information, and links to official or third-party sources. The website is not intended to replace official rulebooks, licensed digital content, or other products published by Wizards of the Coast.

Where possible, rule pages should identify the source from which the information was derived. Source references may include:

• The name of the relevant rulebook or supplement.
• The edition or version of the rules.
• A chapter or page reference where appropriate.
• A link to an official online source.
• A note explaining whether the content has been modified for a campaign.

If information on this website conflicts with an official publication, the official publication should be treated as the authoritative source unless the page clearly identifies the difference as a house rule, campaign rule, homebrew rule, or deliberate rules interpretation.

D&D Portal contains several different types of content. These should not be treated as interchangeable.

Official rules

Rules originating from an official Dungeons & Dragons publication or licensed source.

Rules explanations

Simplified descriptions intended to make an official rule easier to read or understand.

Rules interpretations

Explanations of how a rule is interpreted when its wording is unclear or when different readings are possible.

House rules

Changes to the normal rules that apply to one or more campaigns.

Campaign-specific rules

Rules, restrictions, exceptions, or character options that apply only to a specific campaign or player group.

Homebrew content

Original classes, subclasses, species, monsters, items, spells, mechanics, or other content that is not part of the official Dungeons & Dragons rules.

Pages should clearly label house rules, campaign-specific rules, and homebrew content to prevent them from being mistaken for official material.

Artwork and other visual material displayed on D&D Portal may come from several different sources.

• Original visual material created specifically for the website.
• Commissioned work used with the creator’s permission.
• Third-party material used under an applicable licence.
• Icons and interface assets provided by external libraries.
• AI-generated illustrative images.
• Official imagery shown only where its use is permitted.

Where attribution is required or reasonably possible, the creator, source, and applicable licence should be identified either on the page where the material is used or on this credits page.

Ownership of third-party artwork remains with its original creator or rights holder. Inclusion on this website does not transfer ownership to D&D Portal or Toon van Berkel.

Some images used on D&D Portal may have been generated or modified with the assistance of artificial intelligence.

These images are used as supporting visual references for classes, species, monsters, locations, non-player characters, campaign concepts, and other related content. They are not presented as original, manually created artwork by Toon van Berkel.

AI-generated images are primarily used to provide a quick visual impression of the subject being described. They should not be interpreted as official Dungeons & Dragons artwork or as an exact representation of official lore.

Pages that use AI-generated imagery should be identified on the dedicated AI transparency page. That page may include information such as:

• Which images were generated or modified using AI.
• The purpose for which each image is used.
• The generation or editing tool used, where known.
• Whether an image was based on another visual reference.
• Whether significant manual editing was performed afterwards.

AI-generated imagery should not be used to falsely claim authorship, impersonate a real artist, or deliberately misrepresent official Dungeons & Dragons material.

Icons and other interface assets used throughout D&D Portal may originate from external repositories and icon libraries.

Some icons have been obtained from SVG Repo. Individual icons on SVG Repo may be made available under different licences. The applicable licence should therefore be checked before an icon is added to the website.

Additional Dungeons & Dragons-related icons have been obtained from the tw-dnd repository, created by David Kor Kian Wei, also known as Intrinsical.

Third-party icons remain subject to the terms and conditions of their respective licences. Attribution on this page does not replace any attribution or licence requirements included with the original asset.

D&D Portal is built using modern web technologies selected for maintainability, performance, accessibility, and readability.

• SvelteKit — the application framework used to build the website and its pages.
• Svelte — the component framework used to create reusable interface elements.
• TypeScript — used to provide static typing and improve code reliability.
• HTML — used to provide the semantic structure of the website.
• CSS and SCSS — used for layout, responsive behaviour, colours, typography, and visual styling.
• Git — used for version control and tracking changes.
• GitHub — used for repository hosting, issue tracking, collaboration, and project history.

Additional packages, libraries, fonts, icons, or development tools may be used throughout the project. Their respective authors and licence terms remain applicable.

The repository history and dependency files provide the most current technical record of the tools and packages used by the website.

D&D Portal aims to provide information in a format that is readable and usable across different devices and input methods.

Accessibility considerations include:

• Semantic page structure and heading order.
• Keyboard-accessible navigation and controls.
• Readable typography and sufficient spacing.
• Alternative text for meaningful images.
• Clear focus indicators for interactive elements.
• Responsive layouts for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
• Colour choices that aim to maintain sufficient contrast.
• Reduced-motion support where animated elements are used.

Accessibility problems can be reported through the GitHub repository or by emailing toonvanberkel.public@gmail.com.

D&D Portal may contain links to external websites, repositories, social media profiles, products, tools, or reference material.

External websites are operated by their respective owners. D&D Portal does not control their availability, security, accessibility, privacy practices, or content.

A link to an external website does not automatically mean that D&D Portal or Toon van Berkel endorses every statement, product, service, or opinion presented on that website.

Unless otherwise stated, the original website code, page structure, original writing, original campaign material, and original homebrew content created specifically for D&D Portal are owned by their respective creator.

Third-party content remains the property of its original author, publisher, artist, developer, or rights holder.

Nothing on this credits page should be interpreted as granting permission to reproduce, redistribute, sell, or commercially exploit third-party material. Visitors should consult the original source and its applicable licence before reusing any material.

The availability of the website’s source code through a public repository does not automatically mean that every image, icon, rule description, name, logo, or other asset in the repository is covered by the same licence.

Dungeons & Dragons, D&D, Wizards of the Coast, the dragon ampersand, and related names, characters, logos, product names, and distinctive likenesses are trademarks or property of Wizards of the Coast LLC in the United States and other countries.

References to official Dungeons & Dragons material are included for identification, discussion, campaign organisation, and educational reference. All rights relating to official Dungeons & Dragons material remain with Wizards of the Coast and the relevant rights holders.

Reasonable efforts are made to identify sources and provide appropriate attribution. However, information about an asset’s creator, owner, origin, or licence may occasionally be incomplete or incorrect.

If you are a creator or rights holder and believe that material on D&D Portal:

• Has been attributed incorrectly.
• Is missing required attribution.

Good-faith correction and removal requests will be reviewed, and appropriate action will be taken where necessary.

D&D Portal is maintained as an ongoing project. Content, availability rules, campaign information, navigation structures, visual assets, and technical features may change over time.

No guarantee is made that every page will always be complete, error-free, or available. Rules may also be revised when a campaign changes, a new source is adopted, an error is discovered, or an official publication is updated.

The GitHub repository and its commit history can be used to review changes made to the website.

Special thanks go to the players and Dungeon Masters who have helped test rules, review homebrew content, report mistakes, suggest improvements, and provide feedback about the website.

Thanks also go to the developers, designers, artists, writers, maintainers, and open-source contributors whose tools and resources made the development of this website possible.

Finally, thanks to everyone who has taken the time to read the website, report a problem, suggest an improvement, or contribute to the project.
