[QUOTE="theredrobedwizard, post: 2966893, member: 21340"] 1) Cancel FR for the foreseeable future. Treat it like WotC has treated the Star Wars RPG. See how the Drizztbags like it. 2) No book published will be less than 260 pages. Yes, there will be expanded content to fill these pages. They will use the old stat block and monster/prestige class size formats. 3) Softcover PHB, DMG, and MM for sale outside a basic box. $15.99 each. 4) Complete SRD - Black and white, softcover. No art, no superfluous text. $20.00 5) Re-release of Planescape to take FR's slot in the release schedule. Each year after Planescape, WotC would produce a "shortrun" campaign setting (Darksun, Birthright, Mystra, Spelljammer, etc). There would be a campaign book and 8 splats produced for it. WotC originally had this idea for Wheel of Time and Call of Cthulhu, but they were pulled before the "shortrun" ever got beyond the core book. 6) More boxed series. Yes, the Races series and Core series are all well and good, but if you're buying in bulk, there should be a discount. (Ex - The Races Series [Stone, Dragon, Eberron, Wild, Destiny] Individual Market Price $150, Box Set Price $120). Yes, this will piss off the people who bought it at the get go, but that's what waiting gets you. Also, larger upfront expense than buying them one at a time. 7) Acquire Malhavok publishing. Advertise Arcana Evolved and Iron Heroes as much as WotC advertises M:tG or any of their card games. Do not fire anyone, Monte Cook retains complete control of the Malhavok subdivision. 8) Buying a .pdf of the book should be cheaper than the book itself. If a book normally costs $40, the .pdf is $27.50 9) Release "d20 Fantasy", a quasi-D&D suppliment for d20 Modern. Use the Modern base classes, with the D&D classes as Advanced Classes. 10) There will be no references to Drow in any D&D suppliment for my tenure there, save the one below. 11) Pay R.A.
