Pun Pun and Friends: A Coloring Book

I would totally buy that.

I second not wanting to see Complete Psionic 2 or anything similar :p If it was Secrets of Sarlona quality, sure, but CPsi quality, no thanks.

I'd also rather not see Tome of Bureacracy: Book of Useless Local Laws.

It's amazing how many of these jokes that I'd more likely buy than what WotC actually does put out.

Cantrip Compendium? I'm there. Cantrip collections are like crack to me.

Complete NPC? Complete Commoner? 500 seven sentence ordinary NPC's with stats for any campaign? I'd buy that in a heartbeat!

The Complete Lunatic? Awesome!! Complete rules for insanity and madness? A discussion of bizarre cults and a detailed look at Limbo! Alright!!

Economicon? If I could, I'd write it myself. A truly historical and consistant comprehensive price list? Craft rules that actually worked? Comprehensive rules for the profession skill? Quick medium to large scale business resolution? Yeah, if someone did that right, and I mean right, I'd bust my piggy bank and preorder the sucker.

I'd be more interested in that than a book of fiends I'll never use, monster manuals containing maybe 10 pages of usable material, minatures crap, forgotten realms crap, eberron stuff which isn't crap but which just doesn't appeal to me, the epic handbook, the book of vile darkness, the book of exalted deeds, complete this and that with a smattering of feats a spell or two and a bunch of prestige classes I'll never use, dragon magic, dragonomicon, dragons of faerun, dragons of eberron, dragons of lower lincolnshire, races of this, races of that, and well most everything that WotC publishes.

I tell you what I don't want to see WotC waste their time on:

Anarauch - Another Spot in my Childhood Slapdash Campaign World Before I Knew Anything about World Building
Rules Compendium - Everything in the SRD in Hardback
Confessions of a Part Time Sorceress, or "Who knew geeks could be sexy"?
Monster Manual V - Scrapping the Bottom of the Barrel
Undermountain - Save Time, I've Already Rolled Up a Random Dungeon
The More than Complete Book of Drow II
Fiendish Codex VII - More monsters for people who read books but don't run campaigns

So, I see I'm not the only one that snuck a peek at WotC's up coming line.

Useless. Everyone knows fantasy buildings don't have toilets.
