Message: <blockquote data-quote="Athenon" data-source="post: 3689141" data-attributes="member: 16769">I would emphasize the real strengths of the fantastic Dungeons and Dragons IP.I would harness Ed Greenwood to write Realms of the Heartland.  This would be a Forgotten Realms sourcebook covering Cormyr and Sembia.  Ed could mine the copious notes he has about these central areas of Faerun that have never gotten adequate coverage.  I would point out that the Regional Sourcebooks featuring Ed's primary witing (Silver Marches, Serpent Kingdoms, Power of Faerun) have been the more enduring and well reviewed books in the 3E line.  As Fluff Tsar, I'm going to emphasize Ed's gifts.World of Greyhawk, a multi-volume project updating the lands of Greyhawk.  This would be a massive relaunch with many potential sequel volumes.  Most importantly, I would hire Eric Mona to head the project.  I would also recruit Gary Gygax to write a great deal of the material, particularly expanding on unseen aspects of his original home campaign.  This is one seriously neglected area of the D&D IP.  Mona has proved he can do Greyhawk like nobody's business and Gary's involvement has been sadly lacking for decades.The Pirate's Grimoire.  This would be a volume detailing what it is to be a brigand of the high seas.  It would also detail several pirate-ruled realms and sample islands to place in the campaign.  Not delving too far into crunch, I would still take the opportunity to expand the nautical rules and ship to ship combat info.Demonlands  I would tap Eric Boyd and George Krashos to write a book detailing the Vassa, Damara, Impiltur & Narfell areas of Faerun.  This could have a tie-in to an "Invasion of Demons"/Orcus adventure proposed above.The Savage North, A Forgotten Realms book updating the situation around Silverymoon and the Kingdom of Many Arrows as well as the North at large.  There are many changes in this area since the happenings of Rich Baker's and R.A. Salvatore's novel series were written.  I would involve both authors in the writing of this (Salvatore's lack of involvement/ignorance of what was going on in Silver Marches greatly hurt the usability of the product.)  I would also try to update many of the ideas put forward in the original FR5 Savage Frontier.Lastly, I would produce a Knightly Orders book detailing many different orders of Knighthood, focusing on medieval analogues, secrets of these orders and fluff-centric entry requirements.  I would create multiple knighthoods for generic fantasy/homebrew, FR and Greyhawk.  Heck, I might even throw the Eberron folks a bone and create a knighthood just for warforged.Maps of GreyhawkMaps of FaerunMy 2cp.Will</blockquote>
