The cultural sourcebooks sound awesome as well.

How about a book that expands the character origins material in the Adventurer's Guide? I would love to see new heritage gifts, cultures, backgrounds and destinies. 
The Dungeon Delver's Guide on Kickstarter right now has new heritages, cultures, and backgrounds. And the Gate Pass Gazette contains that sort of material every month. That's definitely an area we're already expanding on!How about a book that expands the character origins material in the Adventurer's Guide?

Oh, yes, a MM2 penened by Paul Hughes is in the pipeline! We haven't announced it yet though, and it hasn't yet been scheduled in to start.

New gifts for the Dragonborn, Dwarves, Elves, etc. Likewise new cultures and backgrounds for those heritages. 
I knew he had plans for it, but didn't wanna say anythin' specific. But with this out in the world?

Heritage-specific backgrounds? Some heritages might have a background not found in other heritages.

Ya know, maybe I should make a thread akin to Faolyn’s Bestiary for historical cultures. I’ve long had an inkling in that direction.

I think that would go against the naure of what heritages are intended to be -- the separation of parentage from culture.

Speaking of culture, what do you do if you want a character whose parents are from separate cultures? Character adopts a) his mother's culture, b) his father's culture or c) takes the best features of both.
