I would love this, especially an updated Kara-Tur. The old boxed set was terrible (I did not understand the organization of the books at all, for example), but still a leeeeeeeeetle bit useful.

Ha ha! I thought I was the only one who didn't understand the mystical organizational system of the boxed set, though I loved the setting. The old OE modules were some of my favorites of all time. Also loved Al-Qadim and am kicking myself for not buying Mazticlan when I had the opportunity. I have a sneaking suspicion that we won't see anything like these until a 4e comes out. Hope I'm wrong!
 


A new non-Rogukan OA would be nice in the interim, but by the time 4e rolls around I hope the "oriental" material is desegregated from the core. The Monk, Samurai and Ninja would make a nice counter point to the occident inspired Bard, Druid and Paladin.

You may wish to acquire Dragon Magazine #318. It completely updates OA to 3.5.

Yeah, I have it. All the more reason to believe that we won't see a new one until 4e comes out. I'll admit it; there's something about a nice big fat book that I can hold in my grubby little hands that sends the endorphin production into overdrive. It's rpgcrack.

1. I don't trust the quality of game testing and mechanics behind Dragon material. They just don't have the staff, the budget, or the time to do the full job.

2. I want an improved Oriental Adventures and not just a 3.5 conversion.

3. I want Rokugan as an option and I want Kara-Tur (and other options) info.

Yeah, I never understood why it was broken up into two books just to describe the nations, especially after coming off the heels of the FR grey box where there was realm description in one book and DM goodies in the other.

None of which are related in any way to Dragon Fist (unless possibly True20, as I can see them using that system for DF).

I wasn't saying that GR wasn't doing anything at all, I was just saying that they weren't doing anything about DF at all. ;)

Yeah, but that's the thing. New things just keep cropping up at Green Ronin and take priority over DF. :(

Now with MnM2 and possibly a DC Comics tie-in (assuming Black Industries will collaborate with Green Ronin), it will appear that what Chris Pramas promised that this year will be Dragon Fist debut may not happen ... again.
