[QUOTE="MTR, post: 1420197, member: 6491"] I lurk on enough story hours I should speak up here. While I regularly follow six story hours and have read parts of a number of others, I believe only two of the authors write well enough I would buy a novel of theirs. The rest of them are good "war stories" of the kind gamers always swap when they get together. They're entertaining without professional quality writing. You're really talking about a new type of work, between a dungeon and a novel. I don't know any law but I could see some potential snags. Wizards has a copywrite on a bunch of material the authors would have to use. I don't know if a player in the campaign could complain that the author was using his character/dialog/ideas without permission. I didn't vote in the poll above because my opinion is a little more complicated. The more material I could use in my personal campaign, the more I'd be willing to pay. There is a definate disincentive because this board has more story hour stuff than I can possibly read. [/QUOTE]
