I'd reluctantly admit that I'm very cheap and would be ambivalent about a 2nd ed. However, I like the collection of rants idea as a introduction or unifying conceit for a book. A campaign book, or profiles of collection of dukes and small groups that aren't significant enough to justify a full book by themselves. Otherwise straightforward pieces, with no overt OU references. Sort of a reverse-engineered Pricipia Discordia/Illuminati relationship. Cartoons, essays, practical jokes, clip art collages, things that would bear on the OU if you
were 'in the know.' But without official, canonical explanations, so GMs could twist them dry and hang them on the line as they saw fit. Digest-sized, without the UA imprint--man, it'd be sneaky and underhanded. I'm surprised you haven't done it already. Or maybe you have . . .
