[QUOTE="ryryguy, post: 4883175, member: 64945"] Regarding the issue of posting adventures on a web site... would the following work? I have one site that uses the fan site kit for logos, trade dress, etc. This is "ryryguy's official D&D fan site." I have a second site that does not use the fan site kit. It's pretty much just a collection of my free adventures published as PDF's in accordance with the GSL. This is "ryryguy's free adventure depot." On the kit-based "official site", I put links to the "adventure depot". I can hype the adventures, give capsule summaries, sample art, maybe even post stat blocks of a cool monster from one of the adventures (assuming stat blocks are allowed under the kit license, which is a bit unclear). While I can't use the fan kit stuff on the "adventure depot", I can still have common elements on the sites, like a "ryryguy" logo. (Maybe the adventures in the depot wouldn't have to be free - there's nothing stopping a fan-kit site from linking to RPGNow with reviews of the product there, is there?) Would this work? (IANAL... and I don't know if there's some legal definition of what constitutes separate sites that would have to be honored.) It's still a bit annoying that there is no license, apparently, which would allow somebody to post adventures in "wiki" form, with links between connected rooms and so forth. That could be a really convenient way of presenting adventures, worth exploring. Could WotC actually be considering such to be some threat to their business? Or is this just unintentional, falling through the cracks of the available licenses? [/QUOTE]
