Environmental Series Supplements! What do you want next?

Count me as another vote for aquatic. Also, I'd like to see a good book on marshes and swamps.

(Side Note: can anyone tell me the actual difference between a marsh, a swamp and a fen?)

The place between - Coast lines: Saltmarshes, river mouths, coastal reefs, and such. The area where sea and land meet.

Jungle, forest and old growth forest would be next.

Badlands and deserts - Rough and harsh lands.


Formats would be importment for these books.

Completed for you. :D

They're all more or less synonym, but their compound forms have different meanings. While marsh and bog can both be used to descript a swamp; a salt marsh and a peat bog aren't the same thing.

There can be nuances of meaning in size -- bog or mire is for a small place, swamp for a larger, marsh for a whole region. Maybe?

I've heard it explained this way...

A swamp is a forest with drainage problems. A marsh is a grassland with drainage problems.
 

You had to go an discuss aquatic supplements on a day I'm stuck in a management meeting ;)

Cast my vote for "Crosstides"/"Riptide" - adventuring above and below the surface of the sea, including rules for three dimensional combat, to be complimented by "Races of Water" - detailing locathah, merfolk, and sea elves while presenting an additional subaqueous race and a selection of new skills, feats, prestige classes, and monsters, and the Hydronomicon - a tome which details the relations between sahuagin, ixitxachitl, and morkoth as well as describing the cults of Panzuriel and Yeathan.

Of course, a mega-adventure, taking water-breathing PCs from level 1 to 20, goes without saying. ;)

Swamp & Rainforest would be the best for me

OTOH, I'd have to look at the specific books to see if I actually wanted them or not
