I chose the Complete Priest's Handbook. That book shifted the paradigm in how I approach religion in my homebrews.

I almost choose Powers and Pantheons, but realized that it was a chance to push for a FRCG so I picked that. Both are great books.

Yeah Blood Hunter was really a surprise, could they be planning on making it official? And Maybe Warlord. I picked Sorcerer, Blood Hunter (more because it'd be neat if it became an official class), and Psion, because I like Mike Mearls happy hour version.

I also picked Tal'Dorei/Exandria more for the newness. Isn't Exandria now an official setting for D&D now that it was mentioned in BG: DiA?

Exandria technically exists in the D&D multiverse canonically, but just as a cameo mention.

The DMsGuild is billed as allowing a path for WotC to purchase IP published there for use in other products. The Blood Hunter might be something they are considering picking up from Mercer to flesh out and put in a book.

I wonder how many responses they're going to get that just page to the end and write-in "My S.O."

Perhaps there is a connection between asking about Exandria and Blood Hunter, if it does well enough we could get Exandria and Blood Hunter in an official critical role book like how Aquistions Inc got an official book, aka official, but not taking up a "slot".

Witcher and Fallout were on that list, both of which already have TTRPG versions.

So does Warhammer, both 40k and Fantasy. It'd still much prefer a Warhammer 40,000 supplement for use in 5e to what is already available.

Hell, I'd be pretty happy if Wizards and Games Workshop partnered, Wizards making GW RPGs and GW making miniatures for Wizards (the quality of GW minis has become incredible, though the pricing still drives me nuts).*

*I know that for many reasons this will never happen, mostly because they're practically direct competitors in some business.

Gold Box Games!

I added that in under other, also the War of the Lance computer games!

The Blood Hunter should never be an official class. It's on the list because it's available on D&D Beyond, a big Wizards partner, and Beyond have the hunter because they consistently sponsor CR.

Nothing wrong with the gameplay, but it's better suited for a subclass as opposed to being its own thing (same for warlord).

Me as well, I encourage others to do so as well. I also added in Pool of Radiance 2.

I'm curious about what other people chose as their favorite sourcebooks of all time. I picked the Ravenloft Campaign Setting (red box) but there are at least 2-3 other 2e books that are also huge contenders for me.

Principalities of Glantri. Quite possibly the most messed up fantasy Nation ever written just because it's so dysfunctional and the only thing that keeps them together is they hate everyone else more than they hate each other.

I see no reason for it to be a subclass when it's designed for being a class.
