[QUOTE="ScorpiusRisk, post: 4945433, member: 41601"] I'll reiterate a bit from a recent thread. There are a few big things I expect in a third party product in order for me, personally, to be interested. I don't want more player options, unless it's heavily themed or maybe interesting items/vehicles. Feats, classes, Paths, powers are all to hard to keep track of an implement, and we've got a multitude of options in the DDI. I expect it to be cheaper than a WotC product. If that means cheaper paper, binding or that its a download, that's ok. I need to be able to preview the content online. That does not mean a summary, it means being able to see actual pages or sections from the book. Finally, it needs to be heavily themed or offer something Wizards of the Coast does not. I don't have a problem buying Monster books, but they can be such a grab bag that I want to make sure I can use them. A book of ghosts, desert creatures, or alien menaces are much more appealing than a general selection of Monster I hopefully don't already have. Some examples of things WotC doesn't do would be something like the Toolbox from AEG, which is primarily a prep or improvisational tool. Or even something that Wizards does but only in small amounts. A guide to designing and populating cities would be interesting. Or a guide that lets players build fortresses and towers with pricing. [/QUOTE]
