This means that PrCs should make interesting villains or otherwise suggest their use in a game (and good background goes a long ways here). Monsters should have adventure seeds and campaign use ideas.3) Don't make lots of work for me; make me want to use it but also make it useable out of the box. Include sample templated creatures and NPCs for new prestige classes.4) Use evocative art that really conveys what you are after. 5) If there is a way around it, don't make new skills. If there is not, make sure you don't repeat the all too common dough headed mistake of not describing which classes have the skill as a class skill.6) The real task -- fits existing D&D material, but break new ground. This is where Second World Sourcebook shined IMO. This is where way to many fantasy settings fail, IMO.Probably too vague, but there you go.</blockquote>
