Actually, I should really open that to submissions; basically, people
can type things in (whee), make sure you note the source(s) you used,
and send it to me. I'll note whoever typed things in, so people can
blame them properly for the inevitable speling erorrs. ^_-
I also need to finish up the bloody Ork section. Not to mention work a
bit more on graphics. As for J. Michael Looney's (very accurate)
comment on copyright violation (from 29 September)... weeeeell, yeah.
It could be a problem, but I will not be posting any rules whatsoever,
which seems to be the primary sticking point with web pages in GW's
eyes. (IIRC, Tyranid Tim basically said you could include pics from WD,
but *no* *rules*. I don't think there was a comment on background....)
Yeah, it's a fine line, but I like the background -- the old background
-- too much to not do the page.
Later,
