What sort of product do you want to buy that no one is producing?

Arabian Adventures - a single hardback sourcebook along the lines of 3e Oriental Adventures. Include Al-Qadim as a sample setting, for bonus points. If there's any companies out there who'd be interested in this sort of thing, I'm happy to help write it!

C.A. Suleiman and I have been barking up that particular tree for years now. (We want to do the same thing for Mythic Greece.) We've yet to get a bite.

Unfortunately, a project of that scope simply isn't feasible for either of us if we're not getting paid for it. A labor of love is a great thing, but it don't put food on the table or DVDs in the player.

E23 doesn't charge a setup fee to sell products Although they do review documents submitted for quality before publishing.

So you could theoretically get paid, although yeah, that's a lot of work and the payoff might be a bit lower than the value of time invested

As for me, I'd like to see DM / Player Resource Kits that make rules and all that jazz easier to manage. Sample NPCs with life time stat blocks pre-created and the like.

PHB2 helped with this, but there's still a LOT of customization to be performed.

Hrm, maybe that'll be my next project...

It's a sad truth in this industry that--with the extremely rare exception--royalty-based payments aren't even a fraction of what you make if you're paid even a halfway-decent "per word" rate.

I'm not trying to be a downer. I'd love to do books like this. But until/unless we can interest a "name" company, we're just not in a position to make it happen.

Birthright.

1-20+-level adventure series really EPIC, like Lord of the Rings

Not a particular product, but a stylistic thing. How about serving me a little fatalism with my fantasy. Give me an adventure path and in the final scenes of the last adventure I see the same thing starting over again in the world.

Let me tople a theives guild just to see a new one take it's place.

tople the goblin hordes so another horde can take their place.

etc.
