Kids Colouring Book: thank you, and a question

For the first time in several months, I was checking out comments written about Ambient and ENPublishing products at RPGNow. I was especially interested in the comments about the Kids Colouring Book- the pet project of our family's.

On behalf of the Gelflings, I'd just like to say thank you to all the good people who have been supportive of this book (well, of all of our books actually, but this one in particular). Thank you everyone who has bought a copy, printed out a few copies, and shared their love of gaming with a kid, or revisited their childhood and coloured it themselves. Thank you everyone who bought a copy and gave it to a child. Thank you to all the industry peeps who participated in its creation, be it the writing talents of Brom and Ernie Gygax, or the donated artwork by some artists whose work has constantly impressed me: I still get the giggles when I think that I have a piece by rkPost in one of my books! But mostly, thanks to all the families who worked on this together. I hope you got as much of a kick working on this as we did!

Thanks also belong to those who have taken the time to post a comment about the product on RPGNow. I'm sorry to the one guy who thought that it wasn't worth $5. I guess you can't please everyone.

We haven't made enough to buy a pony yet, but our local library will appreciate the donation- in a small town like ours, every little bit helps!

Anyhow, we're debating what the sequel will be: Superheroes and Villains and Gadgets? Or simply another monster manual? What do you think? Would you or a family member contribute something? And if it was the SuperSequel, who would help me stat these guys out? And which system(s) should we use? Four Colour to Fantasy? Mutants & Masterminds? Vigilance? All three (/me shudders)?

More monsters! I have nieces and nephews I'd like to give these types of books to. And while I'd be interested in getting them into D&D, I don't really play superhero games.

Go for Superheroes, if the Gelflings are into it. They've already done monsters, and we all know how quickly kids are bored ;)
Honestly, I'd like to see that topic tackled by kids.

Oh, and I'd love to help, if time allows it, and if I'm familiar with the system (M&M: yes, the other two: no - but that may change :cool: ).

Why don't you use the Kids Colouring Book already? I don't think you need two very similar books to get them interested.
 

I think a great idea would be a book of story hooks/plots that kids think would be cool to play - I don't know how feasible it would be to do, but it would be cool to have if you were actually playing a game with kids (like I do from time to time....) :p
