If the OP site is hosted somewhere in the Puritanical States of America, that could be a serious problem. The medieval period is interesting exactly because it's different from the present day, and I don't pull any punches about the nasty stuff: Homophobia, misogyny, slavery, human sacrifice, religious intolerance, and so forth. There's a lot of controversial stuff going on. You all know I'm fond of promoting my various projects, so I obviously wouldn't have a problem if OP helped me promote it too, as long as it isn't the articles marked 'SPOILER - ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO READ THIS NOW?'.īut my Ärth setting ain't D&D Land. You definitely still have the right to package it up and sell it or whatever you'd like, and the terms explicitely state that if you remove it from the website, they'll stop distributing it in any form. Instead, it's there to allow them to post screenshots of your site in things like the Campaign of the Month blogs and things of that nature. I'm pretty certain it doesn't give them the right to charge for it or anything, and they've never abused that right to give out anything and everything you post. They aren't very long or onerous - the only niggling issue is one section that gives them the right to promote anything you publish on OP. You aren't granting them ownership or anything like that. Stuff like that is enabled by default at OP, and you retain all rights to the material you upload to OP. Need CSS Help It may be covered here: Abersades CSS Hub. What do I own? How am I allowed to use the stuff I've written there, in other places?

I can't know for sure what the situation is if I start adding content to a wiki hosted by someone else, with a mile-long EULA. Any user can create a DST, but it must be. Each DST is created for a specific game system, and is made up of three parts: the HTML template, the CSS styling rules, and the JavaScript functionality code. If they're on a web hotel service that I'm paying for, then I know it's mine. Dynamic Sheet Templates (DSTs) are pre-formatted interactive character sheets for use with characters on Obsidian Portal. One reason I'm hosting my own wikis, though, is rights.

If stuff like that is enabled by default at Obisdan Portal, then that's a serious plus. You have to go in and mess with the server to enable that.

MediaWiki is very easy to install and run, if you have your own server (a web hotel - they're cheap), but a lot of features are disabled by default, even something as fairly obvious as picture upload/use. Even without paying, you can still get a lot of good out of it - such as easy wiki building and character sheets.

It's also mostly free you only need to pay (and it's a rather small charge) if you're going to want to use some of the advanced features. What OP gets you that something like a Yahoo Group won't is that it's a fully-functioning wiki.
