[QUOTE="Banshee16, post: 4915645, member: 7883"] Well, speaking as someone who didn' follow to th new edition after playing for the last 20 years, I know what I wanted, and never got out of third ed. 1-More settings. They easily could have added more setting or "theme" books. They implied that with Oriental Adventure and Heroes of Horror. There were two books addressing particular play styles. More books like that, each with an implied setting like in OA, could have been cool. They could have done a Swashbuckling book, for instance, and used it with a default swashbuckling type setting like Red Steel. They could have done a book on higher level play, kingdom rulership, etc. With the rules flexible enough to be used with any setting, but a default setting of Birthright. 2-More of the "monster"-nomicon style books. We never did get one on the legions of Hades (yugoloths), or Limbo (slaad), and they *totally* could have done one on the gith races. And, they kept hinting about resurgent fey, and in the waning years of 3E I hoped that was a hint that they would do one on Fey. Of course, in hindsight, I suppose that was hinting at the Eladrin of 4E, but I'd have loved a book on the Faerie......the dark, beautiful, yet inhuman ones of myth, to frighten children, rather than pixies. With a player Sidhe race, maybe. The Eladrin of 4E don't cut it for me. Banshee [/QUOTE]
