Just an FYI, and to give you all something to talk about, we're looking to have a house rule contest for each product.
This is an informal announcement, so don't start submitting yet. We will post official rules closer to release.
Essentially, it's this. You will submit your favorite house rule(s) for consideration. You can submit Rolemaster, HARP, d20 or our as yet unannounced fourth license (when we announce it, of course). We intend to have one contest for every product release, with a winner in each of the four systems.
By submitting, you will be signing over the idea to us (although legally you can't copyright an idea, we want to make it clear you're giving us the rights to use it for "free"). If you don't win, you get it back (well, you still have it anyway since you can't copyright a rule). If you do win, we write up the house rule and publish it in the product (probably in the sourcebook part). You get full credit as "John Doe, of New York City, New York," or such in a high-tech greyscreen text box. Maybe even with a drop shadow like your finest word processors can produce.
If you win, you will get a free copy of the product in the full bundle (basically all systems, so you don't have to choose). It will be the PDF, in the event we work out enough legal issues with the licenses and cost issues in general to do Lulu.
Our sophisticated judging system involves what we like best.
There might be a little play in that as well. For instance if we have a big arctic adveture and you supply an arctic house rule, it's got a good chance of winning us over.
Also, if you submit in multiple systems and you would have won more than one, we might give you to option of holding one or more until the NEXT product. That way if it's still the best, you could get two products in a row for free.
These are just informal ideas, as I said. Feel free to talk about it as much or as little as you want. Anything you say here will not be a submission and will only be referenced officially if there is some dispute over who put forth an idea originally.
