As far as level limits go, consider this: A 4th level fighting man is a "hero", which would be (I assume) either the star of a book/movie/game or at least a really top-notch sidekick. An 8th level fighting man is a "superhero", which would be more like the star of a series of books/movies/games. So the top people in the campaign might be in that Epic 10-12th level range. If you build your campaign under that assumption, level limits aren't a big deal. That's the wisdom I've been picking up as I am learning more about OD&D. I like Philotomy's idea that characters above those levels have to sacrifice something in order to get that high - it's just not natural or healthy. However, I would never try and tell somebody else how to run their own game - everybody has to follow their own heart.

If only 100 people bought them both... That's no small feat for this market! I'm not saying it couldn't happen, it might given a little time. Exactly. Why not gauge the potential audience for a hardback with $1000 in art (I think some of the money is for helping start the magazine as well) with something far more economical to produce? Does S&W really need to be released as a fully illustrated hardback right out of the gate? I mean, if you can do that and put up a website and produce a magazine all at the same time to begin with, then go for it. I'm just afraid that this whole project might fizzle out if you bite off more than you can chew to start with. You can get a color cover and ample b/w art for a paperback or little booklets and pdf for a few hundred - and even BHP's meager resources could do that. You did ask for opinions. Of course, this is the internet. Everybody who sells stuff on the internet is making millions of $. ;D *Goes back to the place where he's being sleeping on the floor of some kind person's hotel room at the Lake Geneva Gaming Convention.*

You know, you could first release a really nice, nostalgic B/W version with very little art in two little pdfs "booklets" for $5 or $10 each. If only 100 people bought them both, you'd be able to raise around $1000-$1750 for art for a fancy, hardback edition to release later. As much as I like S&W, I sure don't have $100 to spend to become an "art patron." I've got children to feed.

Thanks guys! I'll look into all those suggestions.
And I do plan on making my own adventures! After reading the rules, I thought I should read a couple OD&D adventures too.

...Afterwards, the clerics of the dead deity now find themselves with NO spells and NO power over the undead. The kind DM can allow such luckless clerics to "apply for a transfer". I would provisionally give such applicants the spells and turning power of a cleric one level lower than themselves, during which time they would be required to complete a quest for their new god. At the completion of the quest, their old powers would be completely restored. If one likes the idea of gods that can be slain, I think that you have offered a good suggestion for further roleplaying for the remaining clerics.

Hey all!
I've been lurking around here trying to get educated on OD&D (and it's a good site for that!). After reading the 3 little books, I'm having trouble finding any adventures for OD&D. Can anybody point me to some?

I have been using Openoffice Draw to put together the covers for BHP's publications. Being an amateur, I find it easy to use, it will save the document in nearly any format (jpeg, png, pdf) and it is free. I've used it for all my Lulu.com print material.
