[QUOTE="Dark Psion, post: 3690656, member: 959"] Truthfully, you need to do three books; Player’s Guide to..., DM’s Guide to... and Monster Manual to.... When you try to do it all in one book, it always feels rushed and too much is left out. The one book that is especially needed is the DM’s Guide to a specific setting. Don’t just say here are the Zhentarim and here are their stats, a new DM needs a “Here is how you use the Zhentarim”. From previous posts: Faerie Book Planescape & Sigil Ravenloft Revisited Fiendish Codex III Campaign Template books (See BiggusGeekus post#52) [b] Tome of Psionics: [/b] You know how the Tome of Magic was “three books in one”? Well so too would the Tome of Psionics. First third would be the Player Handbook II, or how to play the existing psionic classes and how to make them more unique. The second third is the DM’s guide to psionics. Let’s face it, the number one obstacle to psionic PCs is a DM who won’t allow it into his game. The last part would be a third magic item compendium, a third spell compendium and a third monster manual, but all raided from DARK SUN. [b] Oriental Handbook: [/b] Kara-Tur, Rokugan or something completely new, but I really want to see a new oriental book. [b] Iconics: [/b] Don’t just give me a snapshot of Lidda, show me her from 1st level to 20th. Show me an Iconic for every class, including psionics, incarnum, sword saints and factotums. Show me iconic prestige classes as well and even a few iconic monsters. [b] Core Beliefs: Greyhawk/ Forgotten Realms/ Eberron:[/b] We don’t want stats for deities, we want stats for their followers.
