Fighter.  Next up would be Traps & Treachery II.Fast Forward Games: Treasure Quests.  Another interesting take on the hardcover that is like En Route in that's its very useable for a wide vareity of play levels.  The spiral spine thing is a pretty cool idea and I hope they continue to showcase their inovation.Fiery Dragon: Of Sound Mind.  A little bit away from their standard adventure and counters, but a very cool product.  It reminds me of Nightmares of Mine from ICE in that it's very usable for brining psionics into a campaign in a wide vareity of ways and covers a lot of different ground.  I would've like a few more PrCs geared towards Psychic Warriors and some more Psychic based non-human races, but that's just me.Greem Ronin Publishing: I've seen Freeport and any other product that GRP puts out that beats Freeport in my book will be amazing.  One of the things I've always liked about Freeport and a few other city books, is that they are the campaign and yet aren't the only part of the campaign.Inner Circle Games: A newcomer to the d20 thing, their Denizes book is shaping up nicely based on previews but they need to lighten up the darkness.  While it looks "cool" it is obscruing a lot of detail.Kenzer & Co.  I'd say the Players Guide but I'm talking about upcoming projects in general for my own preferences and I don't know what's coming up so PG it is!Living Imagination: Broadsides.  While Twin Crowns is an interesting setting, I have some issues with it.  I understand that Broadsides is much more applicable for numerous campaign play.Mongoose: There are several books I'm looking forward to but I think that my pick from them has to be The Slayer's Guide to Dragons.  I stronlgy suspect that this will either be a great book, or an "Uh, yeah, Gary's cool..." type book.Malhavok Press: I've gotta go with Mindscapes because I'm a psionic nerd junkie, but otherwise, I thik that with his own campaign city playing some part in the Banewarrens, that's the one I'd go with.Mystic Eye Games: They've really started to pump out the material and a lot of it looks good.  While the campaign setting may be one of the most interesting in a while, I think that I'd have to go with Librum Equitis Volume 1 just because it's a cool book in pdf and it looks like its going to get cooler in print.Necromancer Games: Once again, my old age is showing because I'm hoping that Gary's Necropolis is a great book.  And I like big books!Otherworld Creation: I'm afraid that if Pulp Cthulhu beats 'em to press, that there may not be enough room on the market for multiple Pulp games.  I could be completely wrong as they are appealing to two very different set of pulp fans but I'm hoping that Vergo comes out and kicks some serious tail.  All the books look to be intersting but the one I'm most interested in personaly is Mercenaries as my group always forms these damned things and I'd like some more information on the average cost, feeding, creation of banners, etc... for a d20 campaign.  Paradigm Concepts: While several publishers seem to be cranking out the material, Paradigm seems a little slower to approach the market with buttloads of material.  Still, I'm hoping that Forged in Magic has some real spark to it.  I just can't get that excited about most of their products because outside of a kick ass setting, there are similiar products from other great D20 companies coming out with a very similiar feel to 'em.Privateer Press:  While The IK has some great potential, as evidenced by their miniature games, I think that the Monstronomicon is going to be big.  Their previous modules had great art and in dealing with monsters, that means a lot.  The writing isn't too bad either... <img

data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" />Skeletonkey Games: Orcs Savage Legacy looks like my cup of tea based on the preview from Gaming Frontier 2.  I've already mentioned that in another thread so I'll leave it at that.Sword & Sorcery Studios: While their Scarred Lands setting book have been pretty good, I'm more interested in the fairly all purpose Relics & Rituals II coming out soon.  Thunderhead Games: Dry Lands.  I'm very anxious to see more information on this as Bluffside is pretty damn spiffy.  DL looks to be more than just a City Sourcebook (not saying that's a bad thing in any way shape or form as the upcoming Windhave proves!) but this genre is often sidelined outside of Al-Qadim and Burning Sands for Lo5R which hasn't shown up in the RPG really.Troll Lord Games: For me this is really a toss up.  On one hand I love Vikings so the Codex Germina is making me salivate, but the Canting Crew looks right up my alley with so many city books out now.Stuff I want to see published?Midkemia.  I want Feist to do an RPG in D20.  Midkemia Press has done a few city sourcebooks already and they've been working on an RPG for a loooong time now.  Skip it fellas and go D20.Blackmoor:  While Dave mentions that it's on his list on his home page, I'd love to see this project get kicked up into high gear.Various Settings: Suffice it to say I'd love to see the publisher of Altantis and Talislanta get back into the business and go D20.  Same thing with Arduin.  It's kinda interesting to me how they originally started off as D&D variants/supplements and now aren't D20.  You figure they would've been some of the first to go D20 eh? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" />Well, that's my list.  Companies... what's your best product and why as a consumer should I buy it!</blockquote>
