Do these have to be hardcopy or is electronic (DDI) a fine format for you?
Either or both.

The content I want to see if more adventures. My fondest memories of D&D are specific adventures. They are the heart of D&D...where the rubber meets the road.

This is exactly the type of support I'd like to see. Boxed sets and books in paper print that make innovative use of the strengths of that medium (eg. props... maps, cards, minis/tokens, handouts, decoder wheels, fortunetelling aides, etc). Basically, I would like to see WotC expand what the 4e rules can do and focus on products aimed at DMs.I could see myself buying a 4e "Kingmaker" box set. In it, a small booklet for PCs on kingdom management, a similar resource for DMs, and then an adventure booklet or two to give a solid starting example. Throw in some extras, maybe a deck of cards with kingdom events or something, and you've got a campaign in a box.
While I would enjoy a software based DM campaign management tool that I could store on my hard drive without paying a subscription fee, that is wishful thinking because (a) WotC is committed to the sub route now, and (b) their in-house "Adventure Tools" are poor (or have been since my DDi expired October).
Okay, so you'd like to see more electronic tools. Any particular content besides that, you'd like to see?
Ive tried Masterplan and while it's certainly cool, I found it cumbersome and visually tiring (lots of small unformatted text) to prep adventures in. I work faster and prettier using a word template with the document map on, the old monster builder to export monsters as RTFs, and a PDF adventure design cheat sheet I made.Is this something that, in your opinion, only WotC could provide or would you be willing to use some third party tools like Masterplan to accomplish this?
That's the Athasian version of the story.I always thought the story ended with the old man and the little boy carrying the donkey on their backs. Then they break their backs and die.
