Re: [HOE] Denver d20

[Fred Jandt <fajandt@yahoo.com>]

This looks pretty good! Can't wait to see the Roach
Commander.

This brings a question to mind. I am working on the
next book for HoE d20, a big ass Worldbook, and I was
wondering what stuff would you like to see in it.

Two guidelines:

1) Try to stick to things from other HoE books. We
have a lot of stuff to convert to d20 before we decide
to do any new stuff.

2) Not everything suggested will be put in. We have
limited page count and all that.

Thanks for your suggestions
