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

[Desdichado]

Book of the Righteous already is that book. Although presumably you want that for a D&D "official" pantheon, ala Greyhawk or FR?

Well, yes. As the title of the thread indicates, this is about stuff we'd like to see from WoTC.

The only Book of the Righteous I can find is by Green Ronin... Although it does pique my interest, and I'll probably look it over if it's at my FLGS.

1) A nice big Greyhawk campaign sourcebook

2) A monthly D&D comic book, in full color, published by a major company (Dark Horse, Image, heck even Marvel or DC) and with an established writer and artist attached to the project

Well, I don't know what you personally consider as major or established, but this one is taken care of already.

Lankhmar d20.

I'll do it myself if I have to. My last homebrew was just about like it. Magic would have to be re-worked into something more subtle, and sinister. I generally dislike most of the stuff TSR did with Lankhmar in the past. Seemed like so much "generic fantasy" with Lankhmar on the cover. Especially unforgivable is the female thieve's guild member in one of the modules.

At a minumum, I'd like to do a workup like the Conan d20 site, but like I said, D&D magic just doesn't fit. Afterall, the first story with the Mouser features him killing someone through a combination of magic and sheer will. Kinda hard to consider him a rogue1 / sorceror 1 with that kind of horsepower.

I'm somewhat famaliar with these, but I'm asking for one (or more) ongoing monthly titles. Not the occasional miniseries.

A 3e Dark Sun setting, fully supported, that focuses more on keeping the feel from 2e than adapting it to 3e notions of balance.

A big campaign adventure that stretches across multiple levels that does not focus on dungeoneering (RttTOEE and CotSQ, I'm looking at you here). I'm thinking something along the lines of Dragon's Crown for Dark Sun, though starting at lower levels. It would work best when tied to a specific setting (I'm guessing FR here), because part of what made Dragon's Crown so great was that it incorporated so much of what made Dark Sun special - the Sea of Silt, Sorcerer-Kings, psionics, setting history, man-eating halflings, thri-kreen, and so on.

Rifts d20. Surely Hasbro can put the squeeze on Kevin Siemblia. I mean, what's the point of being owned by a huge corporation if you can't call out their goons to put the squeeze on the small fry?

Which still makes me wonder why they tried to ressurect Greyhawk as their default setting rather than using the Forgotten Realms.

Because you have people like me who detest the Realms. Seriously. I'd left AD&D behind me in 1993 or so and moved on to Hero, Storyteller, and other systems. About the only thing that got me to even look at 3E was the fact that they restored Greyhawk as the default setting.

I actually run a homebrew setting (although I use Greyhawk as a "beer and pretzels" setting). Still, FR represents to me the Lorraine Williams School of Gaming. After thumbing through the 3E FRCS and finding it to be perhaps the single best presentation and organization of a setting sourcebook ever (major, major kudos to the editor and design team), I still can't bring myself to buy it. I'd just feel soiled.

Anyway, the point is that reviving Greyhawk -- even the half-assed attempt by WotC -- piqued my interest enough that I was willing to forget all the stupid management, production, and PR foul-ups made by TSR. Turned out that I actually really do prefer d20 to most other systems, but I never would have bothered trying if Greyhawk hadn't been nominally revived. And, since I was the motivater in my group to switch to 3E (no one had bought a D&D book in years), that one thing was key for us.

Not that my group of six or so players is a critical market, but I'm sure there are others out there of a similar mind.

Nah. The supplements could be New Spring-ish historicals, and so actually good.

A real adventure module, that takes Prophecies of the Dragon out behind the woodshed and beats the tar out of it.

Have the setting not feel like it's D&D, but with safety mitts.

An Age of Legends supplement would be really cool.
