Thanks to Akira over here, I got into roll20...we all decided to purchase the books online, and got them all into playing the new (better) system. Since then, they've been addicted to it as well!
I had fun running for you guys, glad to hear you like the ARPG system. We are always excited to get new blood into the community!

- With the Campaign I am currently running, we are starting with the Crusades. I have made it clear to them that it is mostly a home game, and they can do whatever they like as far as where they go from there. What if; we get some impromptu adventures that are totally off script, and it turns out to work out pretty well. After the fact, I write out the adventure using there adventure as a base but still following the general context for how adventures are written in the Arcs? Then I could submit that as a possible canon adventure, in turn allowing others to try it? As well as getting them Living Campaign experience for it eventually?
You are, of course, free to do anything you want for a homebrew campaign. As far as the official published modules, there is tight control over that through PCI. I know that they are always looking for authors, however, so if you have an idea for a module you can type up a quick synopsis of your plot idea and email it in. They don't accept every suggestion (take my word for it), but if they like the plot then PCI may give you the okay to develop for the campaign.

- As far as sourcebooks and more content to sell goes, I think there is a large amount of content and writing from the previous 3.0-3.5 adventures that were written as well as the new Arcs, that could be utilized. Those adventures as well as older sourcebooks that haven't been updated yet would make it easier and faster to bring out more content. An updated Codex Arcanis? That book has vital geography that probably hasn't changed so much it wouldn't take too long to update. Personally, I would love to get my hands on some of the older adventures from the previous Arcs and utilize them in my home game and update them to this system.
This is something that has been discussed many times on the forums. The Cole's Notes version is that there are plans to update the old sourcebooks (the updated Ssethregore book will be coming out fairly soon as a result of the last Kickstarter). Unfortunately Henry seems to do the bulk of the writing by himself, and there is only so much of Henry to go around. Like most of us he has a 'real-life' job as well, so he can't write full time.

- I am currently working with two friends to write up the code for a roll20 Arcanis character sheet on that platform, mostly modding the already built Witchhunter sheets. My main point with that is if it does work out, and were able to recruit a few more, I just wanted to make sure that anyone who does end up buying your books online, is still supporting your system more than just playing it.
This is a great idea, I know that there is a fairly large group of us who play on Roll20. I considered writing one myself a few months back, but I don't know the code and quickly realized I didn't have the time to devote to learn it. I'm excited to see what you come up with!
