A single book collecting everything one needs to play Oriental campaigns. Essentially additions and adjustments to the standard PHB, DMG, and MM presenting all the tools necessary to create your own campaign. Classes, Prestige Classes, a few Skill alterations, Feats, Deities, Spells, Rules for running Oriental Campaigns, Treasure, and Monsters. All expanded and detailed without trying to squeeze in a campaign setting, too. Lately, d20 has gone the direction of creating "toolkit" books (like the Complete, Races, and environmental series). I don't see that changing drastically anytime soon. So, an OA "toolkit" book might be best for now. If it turns out to be sucessful, OA could then receive it's own setting books (as with Forgotten Realms). The setting could be Kara-Tur or something altogether new as far as I'm concerned. Of course, I don't really expect this to become a reality, but it seems more likely than another book that tries to be both general and campaign-specific at the same time.EDIT: Unfortunately, I don't think WotC has produced the best Oriental Classes or Prestige Classes lately. AEG did a much better job in that department. Though AEGs Prestige Classes are often very much a part of Rokugan, the new Classes were quite nice and transportable. The Courtier in particular is a work of art, allowing non-combative characters to move mountains with mere words. Somewhat like a PC version of the Aristocrat.</blockquote>
