Sorry Rick, it was not my intention to undermine your call to arms. My point was far more practical, and for anyone looking to write such material: Assuming you have 64 pages available for content in a book, how would you divide up the page count between scenarios, encounters, leaders, locales, gazetter, maps, cultural background, cults, keywords etc.

I offered a 64 page breakdown based on GM's percentages as a discussion point, simply becuase many had held it up as an example of the content they wanted, but I was not sure, from other comments, whether that really is the break down people are after. Be careful what you wish for, lest you get it.
