Seems like useful tips. Thanks. The main thing I worry about is keeping things challenging and exciting. If you would look at it, I think you'll find that adventures (modules) can all be classified into a limited number of types. Introducing different monsters or arcana make the same sort of...

Thinking about your game world's economy is commendable. I always found that economics were a way for the players to really interact with the world. But I never made any detailed models for this. Economy has always been a meta-plot element in my game world. Economical events can be important...
