Would it just be some rules (like those I included in an earlier post: SR divide by 2, DR divide by 2 and remove magic requirements, etc)? Or would you chart the SRD monsters by new CR?What about class elements? Low magic rangers and bards might have no spells. Monk may not get some of the weirder supernatural abilities (does not age, immune to poison, etc). How are you going to include all of these changes in the 10-15 settings and make each of them feel unique? These details would be different for each conception of low-magic.  For some a simple formula or conversion table and a paragraph explaination will handle all of the monsters.  For others, it will be more concerned with reworking Special Attacks and Special Abilities, which will take much more space and thought.  Same deal with classes.  Some conceptions will keep the classes more or less as is, and will focus more on Magic Items and monsters.I think that the details would determine the viability of the work.  One suggestion for whomever does tackle it:  organize from easiest changes to more difficult.  Books are linear, so if you can reference earlier concepts and mechanics in later sections that will reduce your word count and writing time, but for the reader it is probably best to be eased into the subject.I like the idea of using the same mini-setting for each low-magic concept to really highlight the difference in each plug-in.[BTW I'm not planning on writing this, I've got other projects on the go.  Unless, of course, someone wants to send me a letter of intent to publish it.  Then I will reprioritize.]Cheers.</blockquote>
