[QUOTE="myorke, post: 1408037, member: 7518"] Since taking over as DM for our Monday night group, I've put together a website for our players and all agree it's been an added bonus for the game. I get to weave plots and ideas, share hints and red herrings, and encourage the players to think about the game between game nights. One of the things I've been doing is scanning pictures from modules and sourcebooks or pulling them from the web to serve as illustrations. Nothing beats a picture to show the player's the 'nasty bloody humanoid with acid for blood' instead of telling them to look up Quth-Maren in their MM. NOT telling the creature's name is the fun part. In order to avoid any sort of challenge, I've kept the website protected by password so that only the six of us have any sort of normal access to it. Does anyone, especially those who author or illustrate for these books I'm using, have suggestions on what sort of disclaimer I could use to basically say I'm not challenging anyone's hard work or copyright, yet make the site public for future expansion? Should I bother making the site public? I'm thinking other like-minded DMs might benefit from reading the journals and such, as I have done with other DM's campaign sites. Ultimately, if time permitted, I'd love to have all original artwork on the site, but I seriously doubt that will happen any time soon. [/QUOTE]
