D&D 4E Which 3rd party companies do you want 4ed products from?

[TerraDave]

Who do you want making 4th edition compatible materials? And who do you think you would actually buy stuff from?

I have listed all these ones that participated in the call, and some more I thought of off the top of my head.

If someone is left out, list em below.

I'm most interested in Goodman and Necromancer. Mongoose and Paizo are a close second. Then FFG, WW/S&S, and Trollord.

I also voted Other, because while not possible, I would love to see Arcana Evolved 4e. =)

-P.C.

Well, if I don't switch to 4e, then I don't care. I'm probably not in the market for game books, period, so it doesn't matter if they go 4e, stick with 3.5e, go 3.75, go non-d20, or something else entirely.

However, if I do switch to 4e, then the companies I will be looking for are Paizo, Goodman and Necromancer. I would expect to buy at least one, and probably more, product from each of these during the lifespan of 4e. I will also be very interested to see which way Green Ronin and Mongoose go.

Oops. I would have listed Malhavoc...if I thought of it.

But wait, Fiery Dragon has been doing some support for Malhavoc products. Maybe they could do it....

Which brings me to me next point:

Go Fiery Dragon!

Privateer Press. Their Warmachine setting is the most interesting and visually appealing setting since Dark Sun*, and the quality of their products is top in the industry.

Steam-powered semi-sentient Warjacks, gunmages, bestial hordes, actual (and fun) mass combat rules, astoundingly dark/Cthulhoid tones, scarce resurrection magic (and if found, comes with a terrible price), warring nations, ancient sites ripe for adventure... sign me up for 4E!

I'm kind of afraid of companies who would just update their old stuff to the new edition. I want to see new stuff, new fluff and possibly new crunch. No Freeport 4E please! This is why I voted Goodman Games and Necromancer Games.

About fiery dragon, do they still exists? I mean, they are friendly and all, but are they still making products beside counters?

Other: Malhavoc Press

I've bought way too many books to use in 3(.5)e times. I've decided to cut back and keep my shelf more empty than before.

So I'll first restrain myself from 3rd party stuff and limit my shopping to WotC material.

The rules-related books I've bought from 3rd party publishers are gathering dust.The amount of available stuff is so big that it makes no sense for me and my players to try to manage everything. And my players are not so interested in the game that they start buying books on their own and convince me to allow these books.

Non of the publishers in the list has succeeded in winning me over as a loyal follower. I'll read the reviews and wait.

Most probably, there will be some small publisher wish ideas so fresh that I'll buy there stuff. Only when I plan to start a campaign with a very different focus or flavour I might be tempted to buy another campaign setting.

I'd be potentially (if I like the 4e rules once I've seen them) interested in products from Goodman Games, Green Ronin Publishing, Mongoose Publishing, Necromancer Games and Paizo Publishing (and other Wolfgang Bauers Open Design) - but any decision to buy would ultimately depend on what the actual products were, whether they were any good, and whether I had any actual use for them.

The only dead cert at the moment for me is that I'll buy the 4e corebooks to take a look at the new rules.
