D&D 3E/3.5 Which 3E OGL/D20 books do you want to see re-released under the 4E OGL?

[coyote6]

Having said that, I don't see much chance of M&M remaining as is, as it was designed by Mike Mearls, who is heavily invested in 4E, and d20 Modern and 3.5 are WotC's "house systems" and they're the ones publishing 4E.

Err, Mike Mearls had nothing to do with M&M. Steve Kenson is the mastermind of M&M.

(Well, Mearls wrote Gimmick's Guide to Gadgets, but I thought the book was quite flawed).

Also, they've already said there isn't much chance of D&D 4e having an impact on M&M. I'm sure if there's stealable stuff (e.g., skills, grapple, trip, sizes), it might get somehow get incorporated eventually -- but M&M is different enough from D&D that many of the changes in 4e aren't going to mean much in M&M (M&M has no classes; "Power Level" isn't really a lot like the character level of a PC, so anything that depends on character level [a Saga-like skill system, for ex] won't be [immediately] useful or applicable to M&M; etc.).

That said, if 4e has a better grapple system, I will at least think about stealing it for my games.

Arcana Evolved, and in fact several Malhavoc products.

There are a lot of other good ones, but without knowing what 4E will actually be like it's hard to say which would be worth redoing.

Necromancer has already announced a 4E Tome of Horrors on their boards, but I also want to see their best 3E monsters repackaged, either as Tome of Horrors 2, or something else.

I have thoroughly enjoyed Eldritch Sorcery in 3E, so I would love to see Necromancer's 4E version.

I would love to see the Book of Eldritch Might redone, but my guess is that so much is changing with 4E that a lot of it simply won't be applicable to the new game. Still, hope springs eternal. Chaositech and other Malhavoc books would be nice, too, although I don't hold out a lot of hope.

Yeah, although I don't expect any 4E from Malhavoc Press, but perhaps that's just because I haven't kept up on Monte's reaction to the 4E announcement.

African Adventures. Love that book, though a reworking of the classes would be good.

Arcana Unearthed/Evolved - though like others I can't see Monte doing it as he has long been left behind Some of my favourite classes are from this book and most campaigns contain as many classes fro this book as from the PHB.

- Deities and Demigods...please include more pantheons this time, mkay?

- Wheel of Time

- Oriental Adventures

Arcana Evolved

Poisoncraft

Tome of Horrors (oh wait, they said that they will do it! yay!)

Many others. I don't want publishers to feel left out here, but I have to go through my collection to really think about it after those above.

I'd happily fork over another $120 if Monte would convert (as in completely redo the big book) his Ptolus from 3.5 to 4e.

Some folks might look at that as paying too much, but the 3.5 version is incredible and the amount of work I'll have to do to keep my two groups going if I convert them is incredible.

I have thoroughly enjoyed Eldritch Sorcery in 3E, so I would love to see Necromancer's 4E version.

Depending on how much spells change in 4E, I'd love to see this myself.

Yeah, although I don't expect any 4E from Malhavoc Press, but perhaps that's just because I haven't kept up on Monte's reaction to the 4E announcement.

He's discussed it on his site, but hasn't said word one about doing 4E (or not doing it), that I've seen. I take that as interest, but not a firm commitment yet.

Incorporate the full version of Chaositech, Banewarrens and Secrets of the Delver's Guild (maybe splitting the Big Book into smaller volumes instead), I'd be right there with you.

That said, I think the appendices are really the only part that needs conversion. I'm comfortable just moving the Iron Mage up to the top player character level again, etc.

I have to imagine the high level areas up the Spire will be plenty terrifying just swapping in 4E versions of the monsters.

Would there be interest in seeing a DragonWing Games/Bastion Press 4.0 version of:

- Arms & Armor
- Spells & Magic
- Complete Minions

and others?
