Here's my thoughts on what I wanted to see.Unearthed Arcana II:  Include how to balance reserve feats. Better creature advancement rules. Better craft rules. Alternate class abilities as in PHBII, a PC race-creation guide. Running low-magic campaigns.  Alternate monster classifications.  Variant rules to be added to the SRD, of course.Heroes of Intrigue: a guide to running political campaigns, social maneuvering, and urban adventures.  Could have easily synergized with the Cityscape book, had the developers been so inclined.Heroes of the Exotic: a guide to running campaigns that explore strange, exotic or otherworldly cultures. A look at how to create functioning adventures in societies outside the norm. World/Campaign Builder's Guide: could have played off the Dungeonscape book in terms of world/dungeon creation guidelines. This was sorely lacking in 3E... how to build a coherant and consistent world using the ruleset.Monster Tome: Giants.  Could have worked well with a larger-than-life dungeon tiles set and an expedition-style reworking of the Giants modules.  This should have happened immediately prior to the Drow book that we got.Monster Tome: Elementals.  I really longed for this, an updated-for-3E guide to the elemental planes and their denizens.  Include chapters on genies, the vaati, princes of elemental evil, etc.Monster Tome: Fey.  We should have seen how to do faerie-tales properly in D&D, and this would have been the book to do it.  From a monster-manual perspective, fey are just people in the wilderness with magical powers.  We should have gotten a chance to see how they could be more interesting.Environment Book: A primeval swamp/forest guide.  Perfect place to tie in not only that Fey book, but Races of the Wild.  Also how to do fully-treetop villages, how to do swamp travel, and do-it-yourself dinosaur builder rules.Environment Book: Earth and Sky.  Detailing mountains, badlands, cloud castles, aerial travel, etc. Tie in Races of Stone and the Giants book, with rules for high-altitude travel, running a mine or a mountain/cloud fortress, better falling rules (similar to the new lava rules?)And last on my list:  A decent E-tools product for campaign and character management.</blockquote>
