What do you want to see from 4E Publishers?

[Gothmog]

Monster books, definitely.

A book of rituals, along with some good crafting rules.

Adventures/world development, especially a PoL specific setting.

Not so much new classes, but some new class powers, and class/race specific feats. WotC really needs to address this if other publishers don't.

 

[Crothian]

Something different. Something that can be done with 4e that can't easily be done with other games. Not a rehash of what I saw for 3e or earlier editions.

 

[Byronic]

Set pieces: A book full of double page spreads of interesting encounters, with some NPCs/towns/plot hooks.

Cheers, LT.

Interesting. Such as?

I hope Gareth doesn't mind me doing a bit of pimping in his thread, but the Advanced Player's Guide has a section on rules for crafting.

It was written by Owen K. C. Stephens. (It's pretty much the only part of the book I didn't write.)

If I knew that I wouldn't be a Monday morning quarterback

I don't know yet, I haven't looked into 4e enough for such answers. But that's why I pay the professionals! :

 

[Rechan]

Set pieces: A book full of double page spreads of interesting encounters, with some NPCs/towns/plot hooks.

I know that Jhaele is working on a book of interesting environmental/terrain - volcanos, rope bridges, quicksand, etc.

I want something focusing on the nature of the Feywild, on the mind of fey, etc. A book discussing playing up fey as a DM, plots for them, etc.

Traps/Hazards. That's what I want - some really nice, well worked hazards and traps. Grimtooth 4e.

 

[Odysseus]

A setting. Kingdom of Kalamar looked interesting. And if nothing else comes out, that will be my next campaign.

Monsters
Adventures
Campaign Settings

That's pretty much all I'm interested in after the APG hits the streets.

Powers, Rituals, Monsters and Adventures.

Now, that's a broad list of stuff, so....

Powers -- maybe a broader spread of powers at the lower and mid levels. I kinda like what the EnWorld poster is doing with Paladin powers.

Rituals -- 'nuff said. Some cool utilities and more for each level. Get it closer to a 3.x list.

Monsters -- I'd like to see a monsters by region or some nice lairs with versions of the same monster across multiple levels.

Adventures -- no more 1st level adventures. Goodman is gonna have that covered with all their products (search unknown, DCCs) I want to see for late heroic, early-mid-late paragon.
