Is it reproducing content?

Hi, Potentially dumb question. I'm running a game I purchased and want to upload character pictures as handouts for the players to see who they're talking to. These would be the actual pictures from the book. Is that considered reproducing content or fair use as players can't download them? The same question applies to the battlemaps, as I'd need to extract them and upload them for use. The book specifies that names, stat blocks and some rules are considered being under the OGL and should thus be ok to share, but this is more an art question.  Sorry if this is asked frequently, I just wanted to know if there was any official ruling. My feeling is that "it's ok because the company knows people use Roll20 and how else are you gonna actually use what you bought to play the game?" But then I question it because art content rules are strange. Anyway, thanks

I am not a lawyer, but g enerally, if it's for use in your game that you run for friends, it should be ok. If you're streaming the game, planning to sell a module based on your game, or maybe are gming professionally, then you need to worry about that.
