Cyclops, rather than post inumerable posts, notes, and logs, why not simply
condense the information most pertinent to the adventure along with a small
section describing your experience in running the game ( notes ).

That would be far more preferable to 100 pages of information.

Oh my, is that what I wrote? God forbid I send 100 pages of all that,
everyone on the list would KILL me! What I meant was, it contains 100
pages of good reading that if someone wanted to get that from an ftp
site or something. Of course, I would only send a basic outline with
NPC stats and such to _this_ list. I was only wondering if there was
some place I could put so that I wouldn't have to keep it in my
account while waiting for individuals possibly wanting "more"
information about how I ran the adventure. I guess the reason why I
might have come across as saying that I would send all of the info to
one place is because I have talked to other people (at Milwaukee's
Gencon Convention) about my adventure and they had a somewhat negative
reaction. My players on the other hand, LOVE IT! They can't get
enough! And I guess I felt that if someone had all the details, they
might enjoy it too instead of having a surface overview of it, and
having a possible "knee-jerk" negative reaction to my adventure idea.

I guess sometimes its hard to convey what you feel through a terminal
and have everyone at the other end understand what you mean.

Does anyone know of some place I can eventually do this? Yes/No?

Thanks for your time,
Cyclops
