They currently seem to be pretty accepting of fan sites, from what I can tell. I couldn't find any kind of web policy on their site, perhaps they have one stickied somewhere in the forums. The best advice I can piece together is this: You are welcome to talk about a campaign and list books, classes, feats, spells, etc. on your site, as long as you do not reproduce them from the books. If your site is set up so people reading it can use things without needing the books, that's bad; if it just refers to things in the books, that's fine. I think, essentially, they don't want anyone posting stuff that will prevent people from needing to buy the books. I believe the above applies to rules-type material, I'm not sure how they feel about their artwork, but I don't think it's a good idea to use logos and artwork from their site without e-mailing customer service and asking for permission. Of course, anything from the SRD can probably be used, but that gets into the whole OGL thing, where you can't use their Product Identity, which makes things murkier.On the whole, reading it over, this doesn't seem very helpful, and it's probably not anything you haven't already heard. I guess the only real advice is to not reproduce logos, artwork or complete rules text from non-OGC books.-Dave</blockquote>
