D&D 4E My dream 4e send-off product

[cavalier973]

I would like a box set with the three core books (errata'd, of course; maybe includes the Essentials Classes, maybe have a separate but similar Essentials Set) in spiral-bound or three-ring binder form. Maybe even a big honkin' book with all three in the same volume. A fold-up/rolled up laminated featureless grid map with dry-erase marker. Four or five laminated character sheets with dry-erase markers. Cardboard cut-outs (like the ones in the "Dungeon!" board game) to represent heroes and monsters (the monster ones would have generic artwork; eight medium-sized tokens, four large, four huge, two gigantic; all numbered to differentiate them). The adventures from the Red Box through the Monster Vault. A cloth map of the Nentir Vale. Two sets of dice.

That does sound quite nice.

But...

Aren't most of those things either already available? Why not assemble such a 'box' yourself? (Of course, the Nentir Vale map, and the errata'ed version of the core rules aren't available as such, which is something of a key omission. )

A deluxe collector's edition of the 4e core rules with errata might be fun. The first collector's editions were so-so compared to the 3e variants.

Why would you want a reprint of an outdated MM? What good would having the PHB and DMG in the same book be?

I'd much rather have PHB 1-3 in the same book, preferably with all the outdated and underpowered feats, powers, items, etc... yoinked and replaced with the all-stars from essentials, FRPG, EPG, Heroes, etc...

Basically, I want 4.5.

Well, perhaps the Monster Vault instead of the MM.

I am a big fan of the Essentials line, so my version of this "dream box" would be all Essentials Materials, except for perhaps including material for rituals.

 

[captpike]

have you looked at the number of powers that PHB1 classes have now? there is no way it could fit in one book.

at an average of 9 powers per page the wizard's powers would need 46 pages.

not saying I would not love a "complete 4e" set with everything updated and whatnot of course.

 

[sabrinathecat]

A complete, errata-ed, all information on all classes in 5 volumes: Arcane, Divine, Martial, Primal, Psionic.
Completed feat support for all races and classes
Fey Handbook: like the tiefling and dragonborn splat-books, but for all fey races
Dwarf and Giantkin handbook: see above, for Dwarfs, Goliaths, Muls, and other similar races
(those last 2 might be redundant with Item 2)

A list, showing what feats were intended as replacement for previous feats (just so it is clear, and if the replacement feat is disallowed by the DM, the original can be used).

a 5-year extension on the product life, development, and support for the existing game before it is abandoned.

I want a legal, downloadable version of the Character Builder, Monster Builder and Compendium.

While I think 4E had a few more years of life in it, clearly Mearls & co had lost interest around the time they wrote Keep on the Shadowfell and Pyramid of Shadows, so I don't really want products from a team who don't like the game.

Oooh, that would be good.

I'd buy that for a $. Or a few more.
