ADVENTURES!

We do NOT need another campaign setting.

The most useful game item is an adventure that can be dropped into any campaign setting and used right away.

Quests that are linked to a campaign map, kingdom, specific ocean or setting-specific circumstance are way way less useful.  Instead of using space on how the characters get to the encounter area, why not use that space on maps and descriptions for actual encounters.  Let the DM decide how they get there.

Also...we don't need more special rules or spells.  God, that has been done to death already.

If you're going to introduce a new monster type, try to make it something worth killing.  For instance, a 9th-11th level adventure that includes stats for a new nuisance monster.  Totally inappropriate.  But, a new and pissed off type of giant?  Cool!

Consider this strange alternate reality scenario.  What if Gary had never put together and published The World of Greyhawk folio back in 1980?  Instead he and TSR decide to make Blackmoor the default setting for D&D.  Over the next few decades he writes snippets about it in a few magazine columns and publishes a few short adventures set in this massive campaign world he and his friends have been playing in since the inception of D&D.  When he finally has time to put everything together and get it published, someone tells him that there just isnt any interest in another campaign world and he will be better off putting his energies into a collectible card game.  Then he dies three days later in a horrific gardening accident.  His widow throws thirty years of campaign notes in the garbage the following week.

Sounds like a terrifying episode of Fringe.  

Which reminds me.  Frank do you own the license to any of the work you did for TSR?  Specifically the R series of adventures?  Might be interesting to see some of those updated and republished.

Maybe it should be along the the lines of both setting and adventure.  A portion of the world with an adventure included.  If it sells well both elements can be supported at the same time.

An adventure that could be used in a homegrown or other campaign would be great. New monsters are a plus. I'm open to level and whether it's wilderness, city, or dungeon crawl.
Thanks

Accessories, maybe, but it depends entirely on what kind of accessory. NPCs, as someone mentioned a Rogues Gallery, new monsters, magic items or spells.

Settings are much less useful to me because I use Greyhawk or my own. I like to plunder ideas, certainly, but I am not looking for another setting.

Mosty agree with this.
Well, actually all of it.

Frank,

You need to publish Aquaria. Pure and Simple.



IMHO (and I'm sure I'm in the minority here...)

What happened to the traditional [Publish your campaign setting], then [Support it with good product, adventures, etc.]?

Edit - Sorry for the double post

Completely agree with this post.  Get Aqaria out please.

Agreed.

Well I'll join you in that minority.

Unofficial Link (but pretty good) might be able to shed some light. Frank has printed some of it, in very limited volume (I believe it was 50 copies).
