[QUOTE="maddman75, post: 1600543, member: 2673"] Here's what I'd do personally - Rehire as much of the lost talent as possible. - Start up an annual 'd20 collection', with bits and pieces from various d20 authors. This is the point of the OGL isn't it? Its something I'm suprised I haven't seen already. Sure it will be reprints from other companies stuff, but reprints in a big hardback full color book with the official WotC logo on the front. - New Policy - no book gets published without playtester credits. - Focus books on different aspects of D&D - maybe one for high powered gaming, one for grim and gritty, one for political games, and so on. Start work on 4e. Here's what I'd like to see. -OGL firmly in place - Skill list condensed. Lose Hide and Move Silently, and give me stealth. Replace Listen, Search, and Spot with Notice. I really don't need three different 'chance to notice stuff' skills. - No set attribute from the skill! I can't believe they didn't do this in 3e actually. Take a cue from Storyteller and Unisystem. The appropriate attribute depends on what you are doing with the skill. For instance, the Intimidate skill. Trying to do it by flexing muscles? Str+Intimidate. Veiled threat? Cha. You could even do things like Wis+Intimidate to see if trying to intimidate someone would be a good idea or not. - Simplify combat system. If I could have less agruments about AoOs and FIve foot steps I'd be a much happier camper. [/QUOTE]
