Graduate class website project: RPGs

[Phillip0614]

Hey all! I'm currently taking a graduate class in technology tools for educators and one of the things we're currently learning to use is Dreamweaver. I just got my assignment for a webpage project, and it's to use Dreamweaver to create a website with at least four different, linked pages, complete with images, etc.

It's kind of a simple assignment, but I was thinking I might build the site around RPGs and tailor it towards people who are new to them. These are the four pages I was planning on having:

1) Homepage
2) Brief history of tabletop RPGs
3) The different systems and settings available
4) How to play in an RPG.

Can you guys think of anything else that'd be a worthwhile topic or do you think those three main points would more-or-less cover it? Also, if anyone can point me to any images or anything that would be relevant to a webpage focused on tabletop RPGs, I'd really appreciate it. I'm sure I could put something together on my own, but I thought it'd be cool to get the Paizo community to help give me some ideas and pointers for putting this thing together.

Check out wiki for some nice information as well as some links. But i would talk about the conventions and books around the rpg world. Maybe even talk about the video games that have come from the pen and paper world. Also a section about the people and how in pen and paper players can bi-pass the DM's idea's and do anything without limits (no prebuilt video game rules to follow)

Back in 2000 I was teaching a night school class in web page development. My then DM took the class... and developed an interactive map of a village. The homepage was the overview of the entire village, then you clicked on any building to see a detailed plan and the names of the residents, hyperlinked to their character sheet & notes.
