[QUOTE="Graf, post: 676248, member: 3087"] WotC might as well do the same thing they did with Dark Sun as they've done with OA/Rokugan, Dragonlance, etc. They definitely won't be supporting the setting after one book though. Look at Greyhawk.... Having said that DS was cool -- hopefully their licensee will be good. It's good that WotC is mining their old intellectual properties better; there's a lot of stuff that would shine with a new coat of paint. The odds of there being a new psionic book is 95-98%. 1. It's probably one of the most popular supplements (certainly more than say the MotP or the BoVD). There's a big fan-base of people who use psionics in otheir games and even larger segment of people who would buy the book out of interest. 2. While very good overall psionics could use a lot of tweaking. The author of the book (Bruce Cordel) has already released a significantly altered psion progression system & prestige classes in If Thoughts Could Kill (plus the two more books he's slated to produce soon). Furthermore it's been the subject of several dragon magazine articles with new feats which have a big impact on how the system functions. 3. Parts of it are loathed (i.e. Psionic combat). You could probably remove the psionic combat an replace it with a system involving canned tuna (or collectable rocks) and people would line up to buy it. Just collecting the published stuff on the net, adding the new feats and the IFCK psion rules (which are OGL) would produce a new, much better book, without much effort. Add in some playtesting feedback and you're done. The only thing I'm curious about is BC's Mindscapes books (which should be out soon). If those are so good that they become "default" WotC might face a bit of a fractured market. (I'd be pleased if they just turned around and re-incorperated everything good from those books into the SRD but that's unlikely I suppose). [/QUOTE]
