What should Wizards of the Coast do next?

D20 Shadowrun...

Maybe it's not exactly something WoTC would be doing, but I don't know who has the rights. Regardless, I command that it be done.

Now.

Right now!

Anyone from WoTC reading this?! If so, get off your keesters and get cracking! D20 Shadowrun! DO YOU HEAR ME?!?!?!

In terms of splattbooks, Wizards has a few options.

1. Race books. It's a no brainer and despite other d20 companies doing it, none of them are "official" so to say so people will buy them.

2. Monster book. Similiar to above but we've heard something about this.

3. Psionic Splattbook: Simliar to Sword & Fist but something like Metal and Mind to detail psychic warrior and psions. More prestige classes, powers, feats, and magic items for them.

Those are the ones I can easily see coming out. We know about some of the other stuff like Dragonlance and I'm sure if Dark Sun is officially coming out, they'll follow the same model and do the first book themselves, although that's not how it worked with Ravenloft.

Genre specific books? Don't see a lot of that as Star Wars coves sci-fi pretty good and they wouldn't want to compete with their own book and Call covers horror pretty well. I'm sure that D20 Modern will offer some options for both those settings.

Unearthed Arcana? Well, the goal does seem to be, in small part at least, a return to 1st edition goods.

Wilderness & Dungeoneer's Survival Guide updates would be interesting as well. Could proof some interesting times as spells, classes, and other default information has gone through some changes.

Fiend Folio? I don't think so since Necromancer is coming out with the good old collection but it'd be nice.

Forgotten Realms will probably get a sourcebook or two.

Adventurers? Maybe one mega adventure.

I'd personally love to see the damned expansion CDs for Dragon Magazine, especially since in this day and age they should be set up for electronic distribution fairly easily. It'd also make it easier to collect and coallate certain things. Hell, a return to the Best of Dragon would be ideal as well.

How about Deities & Demigods II? More divine feats, morei nformation on advancing through divine ranks, creating your own planes (you know, Primal Order level stuff) more divine monsters, etc...
 

I wouldn't mind a second go-round with D&DG territory, covering the monster deities mentioned in DotF but not yet statted... and an Unearthed Arcana full of bits n' pieces.

And then, come late 2004, it will be time for D&D 4e! Hooray!

Nah- not for about 8 or 9 more years.

1e (AD&D, not D&D) ran from about 1978 (more or less) to 1989 (11 years).

2e AD&D ran from 1989 to 2000 (11 years).

3e D&D will run from 2000 to 2010-11.

Of course I'd certainly be happy if they just went back to putting out 73 FR novels a week; thus driving all the game setting fans away and over to perhaps Kalamar or other settings like Scarred Lands. :D

One can hope for that Arcady my friend! One can always hope. :)

Btw, I don't honestly CARE what WotC does after the ELH and MM2 (with the exception of BotV cause I love them Demon Princes! ;) ). Right now I'm pretty set.

But I do think we'll see a D&Dmg 2, mainly to add more of the "classic" panethons that harken back to 1st and 2nd.

I bet they will do a Dark sun book before they turn it over to AEG.I also think we will see a totally new world as a one time only thing.
Has the AEG Dark Sun rumour been confirmed? If so, does anyone have a link to where it's confirmed?
 

Well Chris Pramas says that its spoken for and that he didn't get it .Combined with the fact that AEG is nortorious about not saying anything about there lineup intil it lands in a store.Heck their website still doesn't acknowledge the new way of the ninja book which is supposed to be out in a week or two.

Besides somebody would have said something by now if the rumors weren't true like AEG for example.I've noticed denials come a lot faster than admitting.
 

Maybe I missed something, but on the EN World main site, under the Wizards product schedule, it says that they are releasing a Warcraft III players guide as a d20 system game. Could this be our mass combat system a lot of us are wanting?

Other than the blurb when it was first tentatively announced, I haven't heard anything else about this. I'm wondering if it's even still in the works... There certainly hasn't been much information released about it.
 

Wizards should keep supporting Chainmail. I mean, if WOTC's book production is going to level off, they might as well keep a steady trickle of new minis hitting the market each month.

Just my $.02
