Good Publishers?

Basically anything in there is fair game to use in your own products. Anything else published by Wizards of the Coast (with the exception of a few things in Unearthed Arcana) cannot be touched by any 3rd party publisher.

The campaign is where it starts out

Sir Morgan, I'm not trying to offend, but if you want to approach publishers you should spell and gramar check your opening letter until it is perfect. If you can't make a short letter perfect, they are going to think the product you have written is riddled with mistakes. (Yes, I know, this letter is full of mistakes - what I say, not what I do....)

I've been scribbling out some d20 starting comments and I've posted them on my website, including some short definitions for d20 work and related links.

OGL = Open Gaming License.

WotC = Wizards of the Coast. Publisher of that game you're writing for...

BovD = Book of Vile Darkness, title of the book you mentioned.

As a publisher, I can tell you I would have little interest in a writer who does not even know what the OGL is! If you want publishers to seriously consider your work, you need more than a "kewl" idea. You need a strong understanding on game mechanics, solid writing skills (yes, grammar counts!), and something that is original and still balanced.

Most publishers that are looking for freelancers will have guidelines posted on their sites. If you want a publisher to consider your work, you should read their guidelines and follow them.
