Feel free to comment on the categories -- I'll start by defining a couple of them:
Campaign Setting vs. Setting Supplement:
A "campaign setting" for our purposes is a world or a universe or a big chunk of a world. Note that we'll be evaluating the product that details the setting and special rules for it, not the setting itself as a nebulous idea. Examples would include Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting or Living Greyhawk Gazetteeer.
Setting supplement looks at a more limited piece of a world: a country, a region, an island, a city, even a collection of inns & taverns would count. A "setting supplement" does not have to be tied to an existing world, though it can be. Examples would include Silver Marches for Forgotten Realms, a "generic" city sourcebook, that sort of thing.
Rules Supplement vs. Aid/Accessory:
Rules Supplements are books with new or variant rules in them. They might have classes, races, spells, magic systems, magic items, new combat rules, vehicle rules, new kinds of weapons, etc. Note that this does not include monsters, as there's a separate category for that.
Aids and Accessories is a kind of "catch all" category that would include aids like counters, GM screens, character sheets or portfolios, and accessories like collections of NPCs. This category also includes magazines, e-zines, and periodicals that assist in the play of D&D or D20 games.
Monster Supplement:
Can be a collection of creatures, or focus on a few or one creature.
Resource Fan-Site vs. Campaign Fan-Site:
A resource site mostly focuses on new rules, new classes, new races, etc., or aids/accessories that can be accessed on line (generators, etc.) etc., and is mostly not tied to a published or home-brewed campaign setting or campaign site. Examples would include thinks like Jamis Buck's Generators, Creature Catalog, that sort of thing.
Campaign sites mostly focus on home-brewed campaign settings, with some new rules such as races, classes, equipment, spells, etc. to go along with the setting. Examples would include Dusk. What I'm not clear on is if this category can include fan sites about published campaign settings like FR or Greyhawk -- we'll get back to you on that one right away.
