Hey Simplicity, aren't you getting married?

... d20 mass combat system. Rules for running a kingdom, as in an updated and more generic version of Birthright, would be nice as well.

I have to agree! (Well, don't know about Birthright, but mass combat and rulership rules.) I think a book full of rules for things like mass combat, contests, duels of all types (including spell duels), rulership rules (including an overview of several different legal systems from different cultures, taxation, tithes, etc.), a reputation system, and similar stuff would be great!

Why Mr. Underbridge, it's been a while since I've seen you around! Welcome Back!

i'll tell you what i'd like to see. something that winds up being a combination of unearthed arcana, the tome of magic, and the book of artifacts.

Tome of Magic 3e was one thing I was thinking would be cool. Cram it full of spells, including ones for some of the prestige classes that have been released in the splatbooks... and magic items, and artifacts.

Actually, maybe this is what Unearthed Arcana 3e will be. I have a feeling we'll eventually see one.

Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures in Space

Forget using the name Spelljammer. Make use of the core rules using the ships, equipment, races, etc. Tons of new feats, some new skills (or new uses).. it's a gold mine just waiting to be exploited, and they just need to give someone the basic rules for space travel, how to craft adventures... and it can contain all of the missing SJ monsters like Giff..

An Arabian Adventures book, with a featured setting of Al-Quadim, or something similar...

with news classes, advice on cultural setting, new spells, magi items, and monsters...

basically like OA, but middle eastern.

It doesn't really need to be a 200 pager, especially as alot of the monsters and stuf are already done, but this book would be fantastic!

Setting book for Lodoss, after they acquire the rights. Barring that, an elf book.
