This is possibly the best advice you're going to get. DnD is founded on PC's winning 99.9% of the fights they're in. Go against that without warning the players first and you're in for problems.

Ooh, nifty. Wanna wanna!

Look again.

I've never seen anyone take it.

$10 for 50-60 pages is actually fairly common in the "indie" RPG market. The demand is lower, so the price has to be higher to support the author. We're somewhat spoiled in the D20 arena, where the price point is more like $5 for a 50-page book.

DnD is 50 per pound, which makes sense in a world where gold is more common. Tiny tinfoil coins are hard to manage.

Yes, clearly. Use a different evocation spell list. Increase MP Contingency enhancement, spend more MP Add another evocation spell list Dunno about those. That would require a new spell list, "Evoke Good" to allow for "good" damage. Don't know about those. Again, contingency on...

This is a very good question. It does kind of "snap the suspenders" for a person to just suddenly show up who's competent to fill in for the fallen hero. What I recommend is that the party cultivate relationships with people and organizations that could plausibly be the source for these...

Oh, no... Don't drive this offtopic.

I'm trying to put together guidelines to help players who are stuck put together cogent answers. The <community> tag helps to define the scale of the game, and helps point up problems if different players have different ideas of what the scale should be.

Another way a character could matter is a relationship, possibly secret, to an important person. "Secretly, I am the <relationship> of <powerful entity>." ...the true heir to the throne of Gondor ...the cupbearer of the great god Uhthaz

The idea is attaining a certain level of refinement. "In my <community>, I am known as the <position>. People in my <community> generally feel <emotion> for me." <community>: family, neighborhood, town, city, region, nation, world, etc. <position>: strongest, guy who tells the jokes...

I'll generalize that further. Roleplayers want their characters to matter. This is the real danger of the munchkin; they can cause other player-characters to NOT MATTER. This is the real danger of the DM's pet NPC. I'm adding this question to my PC questionnaire: Why does your PC matter...

Will there be a patch for the black and white file?

I haven't met a single publisher that responds to query letters on a scale smaller than 30 days.

On all but one count, "Not particularly." Market leader: I think of Monte Cook and Malhavoc press. Hiqh quality: Not consistently enough. Good, friendly staff: Never met them personally. Innovative: Yes. Reliable and honest: Honest, yes, reliable, no. Diverse range: Not any more than, for...

You left out the most important one: I choose a population density that's appropriate to the setting.

Big news, Dave... Eberron isn't a standard DND game.

He doesn't want to publish them, he just wants a list for use in the game. OGC status only refers to publication.
