The little logo in the upper left-hand corner of the magazines that says "100% Official" means that everything we publish must be approved by the friendly folks over at Wizards of the Coast. The same is true of our hardcover products, which must be proposed and approved before work can begin.

How different is the proccess for publishing a hardcover than the one for publishing the articles, with reguards to aproval from Wizards? Do you have to start from scratch, or do they take the previouse aproval into concideration? Also, is there anything the fans can do to help improve chances of it eventually being published as a compilation or speed the process?

We had a bit of an amusing turn of events happen durring "Whispering Cairn". The characters were just in the process of meeting eachother, and I threw in a medical emergency while they were at the Feral Dog. The bartender ended up getting wounded durring one of the dog fights, and one of the players was needed to fill in at the bar. The only one who even offered was our Warforged Paladin of the Silver Flame. We all tought it was great that a Warforged Paladin of the Silver Flame was tending bar at the seediest bar in town!

Customer: "Can I get a pint of ale?"
Paladin: "Are you sure you want one of those foul beverages?"
Customer "Oh... well, what is good here?"
Paladin: "the same that's good everywhere, water and milk. The other drinks sold here are foul, evil and will damn your very soul."
Customer: "What the...? What kind of bartender are you?"
Paladin: "The religious kind. Tell me, what do you know of the glouriouse silver flame...?"
