Things you'd like to see from WoTC but never will...

[Mystery Man]

I'd like to see more books and resources for the DM. With the glut (yes, I said GLUT) of PrC's, Feats and crap its becoming more and more a game you want to play but not run.

No DM's means no one playing. No one playing means no one buying products for players.

They need to come up with some fun and cool resources for the DM!

This is all strictly IMHO of course. I've been pretty happy with just about everything WotC's thrown out there so far. I'm just concerned about the trends I see and the future.

Bound module series: A book of four 32-page modules that can be played in squence or as one-offs.

 

[Elder-Basilisk]

Who ever said the PrCs and Feats were primarily tools for players? There's nothing quite like springing the ravager's pain touch and cruelest cut abilities on unsuspecting PCs or gleefully watching the Stone Giant with combat reflexes and Large and In Charge mete out punishment.

Players generally have only one character per campaign (at any given time) to use to play with the new feats and PrCs. DMs have as many as they want.

[AeroDm]

I'd like to see a product that actually helped people become better DMs, generate worlds, make maps, et al. This is excessively hard to do because there is no one way to DM or make a world...

They tried with the world builder's guidebook, but iirc that was just a bunch of tables bound together. Not exactly what i had in mind.

I TOTALLY agree. I generally DM more than I play and I have yet to see the kind of DM support that I'd like for D&D and d20 Modern. I love the Galactic Campaign Guide for Star Wars and wish WotC would do something like that for their other settings.

 

[Psion]

OGC in every major non-world specific release (or timely inclusion in the SRD of every major release.)

Pipe dream, I know...

 

[Dark Jezter]

I'd like to see an FR suppliment that dosen't introduce yet another elven subrace.

Seriously, though, I wouldn't mind seeing WOTC release a 3e book that details the lands beyond Faerun (Kara-Tur, Zakhara, Maztica), but that won't happen. WOTC has said that the other continents of Toril will definately not be recieving their own books.
