Not sure what the patronage model of design is? Here is the FAQ
Want more info? Just post here - lots of Open Design fans hang out in these parts.
DitheringFool's post in the 3E/OGL thread has useful links; I'm just hijacking it here in case those who would like to patronize a 4E version of it didn't see it. Whether Halls of the Mountain King is written as OGL or 4E depends on how patrons vote with their wallets -- see the LiveJournal post for more details.
Note that my latest PBP, Wrath of the River King, was OpenDesign's first 4E project.

Alas, this may not be the best venue for a 4E pitch...
There are still other boards at Paizo? HOLY CRAP! *surprised* Oh well, I don't venture off these 4e boards anyways.
LOL
I meant at other sites altogether.
See if you wandered around you could find out more about goodies like the open design project.
Another appeal to Paizo's 4e fans to sign up for this whilst the chance is there. We're all on these boards because we love quality adventures and this is a chance to see one crafted and to have a quality 4e adventure ready to play. Rather than having to convert the excellent Pathfinder products, but also a great learning exercise in how to construct 4e encounters and apply that to our Pathfinder games.

QFT.
I am going on board as soon as next paycheck rolls in and am super excited -- 4e would make my little, black, roguey heart burst with joy -- who doesn't want to see that?
This 4E project will no longer accept patrons after September 30th!
Why should you care? For a couple of reasons:
1) Because it's in layout, and you'll be receiving it lickity-split...
2) Once it's gone, you'll need to be a patron of one of of Open Design's three current projects to gain access to this one.
3) Once it's gone, you'll lose the chance to pick up Wrath of the River King, the first Open Design foray into 4E and a fun romp through the feywild.
Signing up for Halls also gets you the Iron Gazetteer, a 56 page supplement with paragon paths, feats, backgrounds, rituals, and clan lore and PC clan feats. Plus a section of hazards, dwarven tombs, adventure seeds, and a small horde of monsters appropriate to the setting.
Wrath and Halls dovetail nicely into one another, with Wrath set at levels 4-7 and Halls set at 8-11. Purchasing Halls provides you the opportunity to purchase Wrath, and that's the only way to get that adventure right now.
