I've seen the style guides for several major d20 companies (though not WotC), and there's nothing special in them--just points on in-house formatting, policies on word usage and grammar, advice on voice, and so on. It's very useful to have a style guide to reference, but any good editor should be able to work one up for you. If you're worried about D&D terminology issues (are spell schools capitalized, do you succeed 'at' or 'on' a check, etc.), it's slightly more time-consuming to check, but it's hardly a secret.If what you're looking for is more like design advice (e.g., how much damage should a spell do at each level, how many encounters should there be in an adventure), then I don't know of any compiled source--aside from the core rulebooks, there are the Dragon and Dungeon guidelines at rulebooks, there are the Dragon and Dungeon guidelines at Paizo's site, but these are really the sort of issues that you just have to get a feel for.I'm not sure why you're concerned about how WotC handles matters internally. What's important is that you have a system that works for you--there's no secret information involved, so it's just a matter of deciding on your needs.Hope this helps you.</blockquote>
