What kinds of things might you like to see for Bluffside, Leopold?

Bluffside IS my Greyhawk. I use it as the central leaping point for my campaigns. It has so much to offer and so much detail left untapped that I hate to see it go unused.

What i would like is:

1. More info on the ruins. What's in them? What can be found in them? What went on before?

2. More info on the tower? What is it? What's it do?

3. More info in the surrounding lands and parts of bluffside. I know sands of pain is coming up but there is more to the bluffside area than just that. Anything farther to the south? What about the city of the sea folk? Where DID all these people come from? What other cities are out there? Dwarf? Elf? Orc?

4. Frozen tundra to the north? Any info on that?

I know bluffside was left intentionaly open ended for DM's to create what they want with the setting but speaking as a DM who doesn't have time to create all the stuff but want to keep the fluidity and the taste of bluffside setting some more information needs fleshing out. I would buy a .PDF or a setting book for this land much like a campaign guide or the old box sets.

MEG can turn bluffside to be the next FR/GH setting for D20. They have some good stuff in there and a TON of potential. I like the bluffside area, it's got everything you need, nothing you don't. I just don't want to see it goto waste

Here is what I would like to see for Bluffside:
1) a little more detail on the immediate area. I like the descriptions of the surrounding terrain, but more on the surrounding mountains would be great.
2) more political information, not just Bluffside proper but also the Gnomes and other local powers.
3) I will second the request for more info on the ruins. I think this is a cool portion of the book.

I bought the book after reading some good reviews here on Enworld, and for a whim. I was hoping for an out of the way city to put into my campaign just to save time. But after the first reading, I have begun restructuring my world to make it fit. The entire concept of a New World and immigrant explorers setting really rocks to me. It triggered a lot of Ideas, and I have started building my new world with limited access so that Bluffside can be one of the major ports of call.

The only criticism I have is that I did not like the new races. It is purely a personal preference as the stats seem fine. I have replaced the lizard men with hobgoblins for my campaign and the structure still works politically as well. So any information on their politics still works for me! I am looking forward to the Dry Sands book!
thanks

1. Good idea, Jim has some plans let us see what we can do for you.
2. Also a good idea, no plans....yet
3. and 4. That is getting done as we speak:
Dry Lands-desert, completed
Sea of Ishmark is being worked on.
Arctic is also being worked on
Jungle and swamps in start up stages
and more.......
as well as some more stuff for Bluffside proper.

How that look, make you feel better about Bluffside?
