Re: OT-ish, Making an doucment of NPCs for download

P.S. For Spelljammer related stuff. Unless you're the official site, the
only way you can use setting names is if you do a conversion of an existing

the ships in the main box set, have them on your website and create links to
them that way. I've yet to see anyone do this however which is why I say
Hypothetical.
