Books of dragons, undead ... What's next?

FEY!

C'mon. Seelie and Unseelie courts, fey presige classes, changlings, fey magic, iconic fey (PUCK!), and half-nekkid nymph babes.

IT MUST BE MINE!!!!

It might be interesting to have a book on Abberations. Rules for the twisted magical experiments that create them, perhaps some new PrCs dedicated to the process, etc...

I really like this idea! I doubt they will do it, but it would be useful.

I dunno. Never really got interested in fey.

heck, let's go full nude (example):

"The Big Book of Giants?"
And I like "Fairy Tales."

Hey, that ain't in the nudd. It's got its leaves on! Me wants my money back!

1. A book of Elementals (Elementalnomicon)
2. Illithiad
3. A book of Books (Nominomicon)

Hmmmm...seems that d20 is the wrong area to find a lot of info on fey/lycanthropes/etc....I know that White Wolf covers these in vast detail, which is where I turn when I want to deal with them...
Perhaps one of these kind d20 companies that frequent the boards will take the hint and start writing....We want feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!

I think that a book on fey should definitely be done. Demons and devils seems more likely, though, since that seems to be the trend right now

I haven't seen many good suggestions here on book titles. So, off to the thesaurus...

album, atlas, bestseller, bible, booklet, brochure, codex, compendium, copy, dictionary, dissertation, edition, encyclopedia, essay, fiction, folio, handbook, hardcover, leaflet, lexicon, magazine, manual, monograph, nonfiction, novel, octavo, offprint, omnibus, opus, opuscule, pamphlet, paperback, periodical, portfolio, preprint, primer, publication, quarto, reader, reprint, scroll, softcover, speller, text, textbook, thesaurus, tome, tract, treatise, volume, work, writing

Any good naming combinations come to mind now?

Well, with this book line, it seems that monster types/categories are focused on rather than specific monsters (dragons, undead, etc.). With that in mind:

Fey: I think that this would be an interesting book, though I'm not sure about popular demand for it.

Constructs: This seems plausible since it really opens the doors for lots of "crunch"--reprinting constructs from other sources, guidelines for making your own constructs, benefits/drawbacks for different construct forms (humanoid, animal, monstrous, etc.). However, I could see this being touched upon in other books (some in Complete Arcane, some in Complete Divine, some in Races of Stone, etc.).

Shapeshifters: Lycanthropes, doppelgangers, and all critters whose trademark is the ability to shift from one form into another.

Inner Planes: Not just elementals, but all who dwell on the inner planes. Stuff on genie societies, azers, positive & negative planes, more transitive plane info, etc.

Abberations: If it's weird, it's in here. Cover such classics like the aboleth, but also possibly cover new creations, and possibly abberation-templates to add a bit of weirdness to the monster palette.

Plants: Yes, I said it--plants. Covers the more mundane stuff that could be used for food, cures, components, & the like, as well as the more sentient forms that are just as likely to harm as they are to help. Then again, I think a combo book of plants & oozes would work well.

I'd think that the next book out would focus on creatures that are very popular for use as foes (& maybe as allies/NPCs). With that in mind, I wouldn't be surprised if it's shapechangers, giants, fey, or inner planes-oriented.

Abberations. That would indeed be fantastic.
I agree that it's as unlikely as me getting struck by a meteorite straight after hearing I've hit the jackpot with my first lottery ticket, in which case, good books on fey and giants would be my alternative choice.
