Message: <blockquote data-quote="Humanophile" data-source="post: 420458" data-attributes="member: 1049">WOTC's smart about this.  Their people do look at what rules people use, what they like, and where other D20 publishers are expanding things.  And with the D20 liscense, they can grab and adapt good ideas from other people, just as anyone else can.  So watch the good ideas evolve into effective New Rules as time goes on.But putting out new rules expansions at that rate of speed would be counterproductive and expensive, as well as a whole host of other flaws that other people are pointing out.  And for an outside party to do such a thing would be similarly pointless in print, and close to copyright violation in practice.  (After all, you're ripping huge chunks out of other books, that's not that polite if you don't talk it over with the publishers first.)If you actually want to do this (and I mean personally, not in the "well, someone should" sense), the best idea would be to list all the sources for variant rules that you know of, give a rough idea what they mean, give links to the books/sites they come from, and have a ratings section where people can vote on what rules they find most useful.  Break things down into categories like magic, combat, etc. so that people can browse for ideas or places they think the official rules are thin, and so on.  Setting that up as a webpage would probably be time-consuming, but hosting isn't too hard to find (Morrus has been very ready to encourage D&D based websites, for instance), and it'd be interesting to watch.</blockquote>
