Next environmental supplement?

[AdmundfortGeographer]

I would like to see a Jungle/Swamp/Marsh environment book.

I'd also love to see a sky environs book. Flying ships, floating castles, cloud kingdoms, air whales and cloud rays, ... of course such a book could do double duty as a planar book on any aerial plane such as the Elemental Plane of Air, or the Astral Plane... or any plane that has subjective directional gravity. It could give some advice on 3d fortification design with the issue of invaders just floating above the walls and into any floor of any tower...

I'm not sure if Wotc would really consider doing a jungle/swamp/woodland/plains themed book with all of the thrid party books that have already been done on the subject -- AEG, Bastion Press, Expeditious Retreat Press, and Necromancer Games all come to mind and I'm sure I missed one or two others.

Sure you did . FFG's 'Wildscape' comes to mind, or Sword & Sorcery's 'Wilderness & Wastelands' .

Edit: Then again, I don't think that 3rd party products play much of a role in WotC's production plans. Most WotC products sell something between 10 and 100-fold the numbers (or even higher) of other d20 products, if it's true what I heard . In that case, it doesn't matter whether someone else already made a book about the same topic.

I guess I'm still alone in wanting a book on plains & prairies. *sigh* There's just no love for Dorothy & Toto.

Not at all! I'd be the first one in my gaming group to buy Prairiewind when it's released!

Or maybe Little Lair on the Prairie?

That's nothing for the next 8 months, and this sounds somehow as if they had given up on the concept. Maybe, the books didn't sell that well.

On the other hand, there's not that much that makes sense. Forests or plains is too near to the default adventuring environment to make much sense. A specific jungle supplement might not be bad. Although a glimpse on my shelves doesn't really leave any opening there, either.

Neither me nor my friends bought any of them. They looked o.k., but there was little in there that we hadn't already come up with in one form or another. Now, if they had put out a generic book on the underdark, that would have been different...

I found Frostburn to be the best and the top-notch artwork is what sold me on it. Sandstorm was ho-hum for me, although I did like the Touchstone sites.

A jungle book would be extremely useful, and a swamp book mildly so. The idea of a sky environment book, however, transcends usefulness into being a really great and unexplored idea.

However, it seems that the original idea of the series has been fulfilled. There are no environments on earth that rival the extreme-ness and exotic-ness of the three settings already covered.

What about a book about exploring a planet's core? Sort of an underunderdark.

WotC could do a vegetation type book that would cover forests, swamps, grasslands, etc. I don't really see any of those as being strong enough to warrant a book all its own, but combine them and then maybe you're got something.
