If people don't mind I'd like to consider some of these ideas as PDFs. The person who had the idea will get a free copy and I'll be sure to mention this thread in the description.
No objections. Since I am very unlikely to ever publish anything and really love inspiring people I would be very happy if you found any inspiration from what I posted.

Actually I would just be glad to see more of the Dozen series

Unfortunately, the line has been pretty dead. In fact, all of Ronin Arts' D20 fantasy PDFs have been selling very slowly. The new demiplanes project was a massive failure so the 16 unreleased demiplanes are sitting on CD until I find time to waste.

If anyone has any suggestions for getting Ronin Arts' D20 fantasy line moving again, and if I see a good reason to, I'll return to work on new fantasy projects. As it is, it's just not worth my time right now.

This isn't to say that there won't be any fantasy products, just that the releases are slowed until the market problem is fixed.
 

How about a dozen…

Reasons to adventure (useful in making a PC's back story)
Histories of magic items (maybe a different DPF for weapons, armor, shields, etc.)
Special materials and their effects
Monetary systems
Household magic items (self-cleaning pots and the like)
Sets of magic bracers (the DMG is really light on them)
Paladins (all with slightly different moral codes)
Items every adventurer needs, and the uses thereof (uses for signal whistles and the like)
Out of battle curses (like 'Bob can never sleep in the same place twice' and such)
Points of view (one place described for PC's with; low light, darkvision, spot +10, etc.)
Exotic components (things to make scribing scrolls or making wands easier / better)

Which is really a terible waste because it is such a great product and ambitious. The art is compelling, the demiplanes are imaginative, discuss how to use knowledge planes to gain information about the demiplanes, entrenches the concept of innocous portals and portal key, and it includes a quite a few creatures and other items from OGC sources that people may not have seen. Plus it links some of the planes to MGPs Book of the Planes (although in no way needed to use your product) and has almost planescape like feel. Yet one customer, review that I don't agree with has seems to prevent further sales in the pdf market. It's not fair, its a great product. Anyone who is interested in injecting some surprise on their players let them stumble through a portal and try and cope. [If you're an evil DM like me I would suggest the Bonefield, ahhh Black skeletons.]

I'm just glad the time wasn't spent to finish the full project as originally planned.

29 sales of the PDF and 0 of the print version. For me, that's a disaster. Too much time and energy put into it.
