How much does it cost to build or rent a building? The question is asking about 3.5 not OSR, and this isn't an answer, it a pointer to an answer that we can pay money to read. |

What's a good system/setting for an X-Files style campaign? You might want to look at Night’s Black Agents which uses the same system but is geared towards a modern conspiracy game (it assumes the ultimate antagonists will be vampires, but I expect you can edit them out). |

What systems use interesting questions to inspire character backgrounds? The L5R core rulebook has a big pile of questions, but it is far from a modern setting so I won't suggest it as an answer. |

Can cantrips be improved? Probably worth pointing out that Acid Splash and Ray of Frost, while dealing less damage then a crossbow require a ranged touch attack, so are more likely to hit the target. |

Advice and sources for designing a fantasy political campaign? There's some fun vote rigging stuff somewhere in The Elenium that might be worth reading. |

How can I convert monsters from 4e back to 3.5? I'd treat the two systems as completely different and port accordingly (i.e. form a vision of the monster by taking the fluff and using the 4e stats to get an idea for how the monster is supposed to operate, then build the mechanics for 3.5 from scratch to suit that vision). |

Do you use character sheets? Or, do you use a blank sheet of paper? My experience from Exalted suggests that players will tend to burn out in efforts to write down all their powers quite quickly resulting in "How does Insert Power Here work again?", "What page is it on?", "I'll look it up and write down a page reference this time". OTOH, I've never had a problem with 4e players not knowing what powers did (just in trying to pick one of the often too-many options). |

What is the “upcoming source book” mentioned in Shadowrun 4 FAQ? Since the FAQ calls it "upcoming", it presumably doesn't have a title yet. Expect the FAQ to be updated when the book is released. |
