If I were ever to design a book it would definitely flesh out the Slaadi and they're Lawful counterparts (if WotC could pick one; frankly Formians don't catch my attention half as well as the Modrons did), and examine Law and Chaos just as deeply as BoVD and BoED did Evil and Good.  If anybody from WotC is reading this. I'll drop everything and come work on it for free <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
