Monster books are there, but outside of Goodman Games, only Fiery Dragon has a real presence and that's because of the massive Creature Collection.  Strange for what I consider one of the main markets for 4E - monster statblocks.So, what do you want to see third parties publish for 4E?For me...1)  Monster collections - 4E does allow you to make a monster on the fly easier than in 3E.  However, the design still rewards DMs with a wide selection of monsters and monster statblocks to choose from.  I really could use these.2)  Artifacts - The changes to artifacts are among the most interesting 4E changes.  I am very surprised that a third party hasn't jumped on a 4E book of artifacts.  That book would be rich in both fluff and crunch, and set up many campaigns.  Even WotC has barely scratched the surface here.3)  Adventures -  Goodman has done a decent job here.  I have to admit, I am not a huge fan of their adventures.  They do the job, but rarely inspire me like works from such companies as Necromancer Games, Fiery Dragon or the like.  I really want more choices and variety in adventures.What about you?  What do you want to see done for 4E?</blockquote>
