An alternate setting

Evo,

I am 60% through writing a sourcebook to set a WoD Demon game in the world of Robert E. Howard (Kull of Atlantis, Conan of Cimmeria, etc.). I've been thinking about what to do with it when I am done, and stumbled on your site. I am impressed with your effort to bring Demon into the new WoD rules and the completeness of the Demon the Return sourcebook.

I am interested in making the sourcebook available for others to use. I tend to stay away from web based social networking and am asking for your opinion.
. Has your experience with this site suggested to you that there is a current Demon community that would make use of the material?
. Do you suggest this site as a good place to host the material in order to reach the community?

Thanks for the compliments.

This site is the best you can get for posting more information about Demons for the New WoD, but I'm not sure about your sourcebook. If it is old WoD Demon set in other games systems, this may not be the best place for it. You may want to post on a couple of general gaming forums like rpg.net or any forum that talks about multiple game lines.

This community is small and not much happens on this site because there are no real changes happening any more (or at least I thought there weren't any).

You may want to even start your own site like I did here. These wikis are easy to edit and update. If you do, you will need to "advertise" on roleplaying forums. Otherwise, no one will ever find it. BTW, how did you find this site if you avoid web based social networking?

Thanks for the recommendation. I found this site via search engine, it's a fairly highly ranked hit.

Good luck.
I would love to get an update when you complete your project.
If you remember, please send me a link or post here when you are done.

I've finished the book, it's 100k words (~700K file). It is written for Demon using new WoD, however it is not based on Demon the Return. There is material for new character types that are appropriate for the Hyborian age (sorcerers, beastmen).

I see what you mean about the community being fairly dead. I tried to post on ShadowEssence, but bounced off a 500K aggregate upload limit. I'm not inclined to author and support my own wiki, but wouldn't mind getting the document posted somewhere, in case anyone develops an interest.

Given the description, are you interested in taking a look to see if you might be interested in hosting the book on this site?

I'll take a look at it.

Ok. I don't see an upload function, how do I get it to you?

If you have something like Dropbox, you can put it in a public folder and send me a link.
I don't like to put my email address on the forum because the spam-bots will get it.
If you have an account here or on the White Wolf forum, I could private message you.

However, I will let you know that there is a low chance of me hosting it here.
Since it isn't based on Demon: the Return, it may not fit.
Also, while I'm willing to risk hosting my own files that White Wolf may order me to take down if they feel it infringes too much on their work, I wouldn't want to tempt fate with another's work.

So, if it is too much trouble to get me a copy, I'll understand. But I'd still like to see it.
