It wasn't listed, but I would like an updated version of Savage Species. It was written under the transitional ruleset and isn't totally in sync with 3.5. That and the Epic Handbook and I'll be happy.
 

I voted for Oriental Adventures and Al Qadim.

I have no interest in Faerun or Epic rules. The other stuff I could leave or take depending on what we are playing. But, I would most likely leave them.
 



Dieties & Demigods.

I'd really like to see this redone as a book for players on how the churches and faiths function. More of a PC perspective book than a Fight Club for Gods book. I doubt it will ever happen though.

It has to be the Epic Level Handbook surely. I mean other books would benefit, but this one needs an update more than most...
I would agree but after taking a long hard look at it I don't believe you can make a truly viable set of EL rules without re-working the first 20 levels to better accomodate them. As it currently stands, IMO you would be better off creating an entirely new set of rules to deal with quasi-deities for post-20th level characters.

I would love to see Planescape given the 3.5 treatment but little else in your list is grabbing me at the moment.

Cheers!
 


I voted for most of the books, but I think that if I had to chose three they would be the Epic Level Handbook, Al Qadim, and Oriental Advenures.

I was not very pleased with the ELH. The epic spell system seemed to be not terribly effective, as opposed to getting more spell slots for metamagic feats. Also, every other type of magic -- divine, arcane, and psionic -- are based on levels. So, a revision of the magic system might work.

Additionally, i did not care for some of the feats, and I don't care how high your skill levels are, if you are playing a human, your character is human. So, I thought the 150 DC to tightrope walk on clouds was a bit absurd.

Al Qadim was a great setting, and I think there is a great interest in the Middle East now. If WotC wants a broader book, maybe come up with something that covers this part of the world and have Al Qadim as an example of how to implement these rules.

I also liked Oriental Adventures, but I preferred Kara Tur to Rokugan, as there were more varied cultures.
 

personally, i would love to see an updated Al-Quadim. i have much nostalgia for how cool that setting actually was...

i also wouldn't mind seeing updated OA, though updated Kara-Tur might also really have widespread appeal to all the FR people out there...
