I was thinking of creating a fan website for the Pathfinder series and was wondering if you had a fan kit available of usable graphics and such.

I'd hate to add anything that wasnt permitted by Paizo. If you need more details i'd be happy to provide them offline.

Thanks for your great product.

Neat idea. Videogame companies and others have done this and some of the results have been impressive. The company has to be careful about wording ToU on it but it could be beneficial for word-of-mouth.

I myself would like to see a DM's kit for DMs that would like to create sites for their players. Before my provider got all jiggy on me I had created a site for my EtCR campaign with a journal, dramatis personae, etc. for the players - but I had to scan in images from my book and raid the Wizard's art library to make it. Probably wasn't even entirely kosher given WotC's fairly tight copyright/trademark enforcement but I made sure images were degraded, etc. so that I wasn't 'giving away' anything. The text content was all from our campaign so it was okay in that regard.

Fan kit? DM kit? Yeah, that'd be pretty cool. :)

You know that is a great idea.

I have been toying with a World of Warcraft Guild site for a while, but would much rather do a site for our D&D games...

ANything useful from Paizo would sure be nice... *hint hint* It's not like you guys are busy or anything...

I don't see why they'd have a problem if you used some of it for non-commercial use. Just don't go posting every bit of info from the books or else they'd have a problem then. :)
