Scarab Sages RPG Superstar 2009 Top 4

Hi guys,

I have an Age of Worms campaign website for a game I'll be starting up shortly. In addition to the usual stuff (character creation, homebrew specifics, etc) I have a section for "what the characters know" about Diamond Lake.

What is acceptable to use on a fan website?

- Is it OK to use the names and descriptions of the town's locations, people, and goings-on, if all of the above are paraphrased?

- Is it OK to use artwork from the PDF supplements?

- Is it OK to depict locations that are on the big poster map (i.e. scan the central square area and its businesses)

- Is it OK to to display the town's stats (assets, population, and other relevant numbers)

- How about stats for friends and allies found in the "Overload" document.

- Besides copying text, game stats, and other I.P. verbatim, are there less obvious things you'd want people to avoid doing on these websites?

Thanks for your insight.

Is there any official word on this. I too would like to start up an AOW campaign site and this information would be very handy.

Thanks
