Yup. I'm waiting eagerly for WotG as well, but I really do think that 3.5 needs this.

I think that Oriental Adventures really dropped the ball for D&D players---it should have been filled with over-the-top stuff from anime, wuxia and chambara films: the stuff that gamers are most familiar with.

Oh, as you can see from my post, I do not disagree with either of those statements.
 

I voted #1 primarily because I know that Dragon Fist is supposed to be coming out sometime this year (I hope), and I've been eagerly awaiting it for a while. So, from my perspective, the whole setting or OGL game line slot will already be filled. Not that there can't be multiple settings out there, but I'm likely to only pick up one of them. Whereas, if there were a setting and a toolkit, I'd probably get both.

Incidentally, the D20 Modern approach would have been my number 2 choice (but as a D20 Mod supplement, not as an OGL book a la Mongoose). I don't have that much trouble adapting 3.5 stuff to D20 Mod, so I voted for the one most likely to be useful to everyone. The toolkit would also be a nice add-on to Oriental Adventures; I'm not overly upset about the adaptation, which I think was meant to be more true to the 1st ed book. But an extra supplement of cinematic rules would definately have been cool.
