[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 6370666, member: 52734"] For those saying the coins are silly, [URL="http://paizo.com/companies/campaignCoins"]they already exist[/URL] for games. I don't see that doing prop coins for the various D&D realms would be a bad thing. I myself would like to pick up a Franklin Mint style "coins of Greyhawk" or "coins of Dragonlance" set - at the very least a Steel Piece mock-up. And I bet play-use coins wouldn't do to bad either. As for the books, sadly I think reducing all of 30 years of D&D into 17 books just wouldn't be feasible. They'd be impossible to pick up. Even things like the Ultimate Tome of Horrors, a Necromancer product that combines five monster manuals into one hefty tome isn't something I'd want to carry from game to game (great reference, excellent weapon to clobber a thief - but I ain't hauling it from game center to game center). I think how WotC is handling things like the A0-A4 Slavelord hardback and S1-S4 hardback are much better ways to handle putting old material back into folks hands. WEG did this with its Star Wars adventures back in the day, combining several adventures into larger softback books (with some editing and a few pieces of new/revised art). I wouldn't mind seeing the likes of the Magic Item or Spell Compendiums of 2E being put back out in 8½ X 11 format, with the new items from 3E & 4E added in in 5E format, but I still think WotC would have to break those out into several volumes just because a single book would be far too cumbersome by itself. I'd most especially love it if they could come out with 5E versions of the major campaign sets - in boxes, like the Starter set. Just the base campaign worlds mind you - perhaps with the box having enough room to stuff a few later softbound purchases into it. [/QUOTE]
