Have you looked into Iuniverse? Last time I looked through their material it was under $200 for a basic package with no Marketing support.

According to the preview material on IMDB ,the plot will have little to do with any of the short stories. It will be interesting to see how true to the 'world' they keep.
I think the poster is looking at it from a larger view. More of uptopian communist view. Rather than working to acquire more of something than other people have (what is money essentially, but score keeping), everyone works to provide what is required and only takes what they need.
The landlord in that enviroment is just someone who makes certain the building is taken care of. In return, they draw from society the items and services they require to live. Money can be simply a way of making certain everyone pulls their weight. (negative balance indicates need to contribute more, positive balance indicates contiribution in excess of usage) Instead we use it and 'wealth' to keep score and point out how much further up the ladder we are than everyone else.
---Not necessarily my philosophy, just a few thoughts.
I support renewable power and all (Use an iSUN battery charger for my portable Electronics), but think of all the non-renewable time and energy devoted to this type of event.
Materials fabrication, student time spent, assembly. The fleet of gas powered cars following around for support of each of these.
Research is important, but can't this be a little counter productive?
Dune Never ends. I tried to pull them all at once (I used to have time for that). Somewhere in the 4th or 5th book I just shut down and couldn't take it anymore.
Heinlein on the other hand...

ADOM gives your character some bonus or the other. I think the game also started with "you follow a star to the valley..."

Obviously they are referring to the site with the instructions. ::Patiently waiting for them to shut down MSNBC and EVERY IP that has attached to it::
