What d20 projects would you like to see?

Two threads got this idea started in my head: we've got a what d20 from literature would you like to see, and what announced d20 products are you looking forward to.

What d20 products that to your best knowledge nobody is working on at all would you like to see? Here's my short list:
  • d20 Middle-earth: OK, I know this could never happen officially as Decipher holds the rights and have no intention of doing this. It already exists unofficialy thanks to the work of ColonelHardisson and Co. hosted here on this very site. However, this would be my top choice for a d20 product I would wish to see. The recent release of the DVD has reminded me all over again why I fell in love with fantasy to begin with.
  • d20 Swords and Sandals: I also recently picked up the Gladiator soundtrack! :) We've seen lots of rules for Bronze Age campaigns tossed around in various threads over the last few monthes or so, but as a coherent, organized project, this would be a fun one.
  • d20 Low Magic: I don't know if this is necessarily a project. From George R.R. Martin's Song of Fire and Ice to Brett Cornwall's The Warlord Trilogy to Harn there's just so many low magic settings that sound fun, that someone oughtta do a generic book on how to do low magic and make the whole system hang together. Much more than just new classes, a new magic system and guidelines for adopting CRs to match what the party can handle, this would also require guidance on how to cover healing of some kind and other things. I think most good DMs who want this can probably figure this out on their own with some work (I know I've got plenty of ideas) but I'd like to see someone do the work for me. :)

d20 Low Magic might be cool. i know i've already gotten an idea to use d20 Modern's generic classes in a fantasy campaign. the world would most likely by necessity be low magic. (i.e., the only spellcasting classes would be rare prestige classes, magic items would be very rare, supernatural monsters rarely encountered, etc.)

if the ELH ever makes it into the SRD, i'd like to see a campaign world designed with epic level characters in mind from the start. maybe something akin to the heroes of Greek mythology -- from day one being head and shoulders above other mortals and hobnobbing with the gods...
 


I posted it under the Literay thread, but it fits this threads criteria becasue I haven't heard anything of it being done.

Thieves World, the city of Sanctuary. They are finally getting new books on it written and from the buzz I'm hearing it's been fairly populiar. THe old RPG stuff was very well recieved (for the few of us who've seen it) and I really think it would fit well into d20.
 

d20 Futuristic =)

IE: Alternity, or maybe even Fallout... even it would be a horror to limit a denizen of the Fallout wastelands to only one class at a time =)

Yes! I was just going to post that I would love to see Cornwell's trilogy, and just a general Celtic thing. So I'm looking forward to Slaine.

I haven't heard that many details about Slaine, though. Won't it use normal D&D classes and magic assumptions?
