The only new Mechanic I am introducing is stuff that effect one's caster level. I.e. things like how many d6s a fireball can do and any other level based effect that are in spells. Obviously will have a bigger impact in a AD&D campaign more than a OD&D campaign. The main reason for this is that magic poor and magic rich regions are a feature of my campaign. If your caster level goes to zero you can't cast spells.

I am also going to focus on ready made NPCs in the Monster & Treasure sections. Outlining typical members of each order. And in the Wilderness and Adventure Section I am going to create ready made locales that hopefully most people can use for their own campaigns. There will be maps of course.

I am shooting to complete this by October or November
