Products You'd Like WoTC to do

[JoeGKushner]

Races of the Mind has a good sound to it. Probably the best tilte for such a book were it to be crafted.

As it would cover existing races, at least two, which ones would you like to see? I'm all up for the half-giant for example, but havent' used the rest enough to be an 'expert' on 'em.

I'd certainly agree with the rest that I'd like to see some of my old favorite settings return, like Spelljammer and Dark Sun.

As for Al-Qadim, I recently picked up the Land of Fate boxed set. The rules are so unobtrusive that it could practically be used for any edition.

What I'd really, really like to see is a true "basic" edition of D&D. The basic set that WotC released was more or less a joke, since it only provided for the advancement of a single level. I'd like to see something that provides for a good 5 - 10 levels and is an easy intro to the game.

I'd also like to see more modules, but I seem to be getting my wish there.

I actually have very little interest in the half-giant. I find the Elan and Dromite intriguing myself, but see no reason that (like Races of Eberron, which covers all four of the new Eberron races) that you couldn't safely fit all of the XPH races in there.

- A purely psionic setting without normal magic, with Gith, Aboleths, Yuan-Ti and Mind Flayers among all new monsters as main antagonists.

Seconded. But you would have to remove some classes and insert new classes.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

1) Al-Qadim 3.5
2) More Draconomicon-style monster books, dealing with fey, giants, elementals/genies
3) Expanded Oriental Adventures, but not explicitly linked to a location -- the book should be more of a toolkit
4) More environment books, including mountains, forests, and depending on the focus of Stormwrack, underwater environments
5) Planescape 3.5 as a setting, not as a general planar sourcebook

The planes are already an integral part of the D&D universe. Why create a false dichotomy by spinning it off into its own setting? That was one of the reasons it was killed in the first place.

Then call it a Sigil sourcebook. But having "Planescape" on the front cover will sell more copies.

It was a mistake in the past to package the planes as a seperate setting (although I don't believe that significant numbers of DMs said "lordy, we can't buy this unless we're going to use it all!" -- my experience says just the opposite is true), but now that the brand name is out there, ignoring it is foolish.

Anything and everything Greyhawk!!!

Please WOTC, update your core gaming world! Enough of this Greyhawk-Lite attitude. Give us history, background information, and "crunch" material for setting.

I'd likely buy anything Planescape that WotC decided to release.

On the same token, but books that likely only I would want to see: Tome of Infinite Change and Tome of Clockwork Order. Admittedly the BoED and the BoVD weren't very good, but I'd appreciate some more information on the forces of law and chaos in D&D.

This is something I'd considered too, but it would make me uneasy to hear that they were planned. These would be either really fascinating reading, or actively terrible; I don't see plain mediocrity in the cards for such volatile subjects. And after reading the BoED and BoVD darkness I'm not sure how much faith I have in WotC's handling of the ethical dichotomy.
