Monte Cook has finished up a book of rules based on his houserules that he has tried out in his campaign. A lot of them are essentially rules that address the problems that 4th edition is being designed to fix, within the context of 3.5 rules.
Its being released as a PDF, but depending on what it looks like, I'd love to have a hard copy of this (unless Monte suddenly lost all of his talent overnight):

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Many people like myself may be interested in this or a 3.75, but won't find a use for it since the people we play with either have eyes set on 4.0 or refuse to move on from 3/3.5. |

I've got the book. If you want to know anything about it just ask your questions. According to the homepage, there will be a hard copy version some time soon.
A few details about the book:
- Monte Cook explicitly says that the book is not a collection of house rules as in Unearthed Arcane. He suggests that one should use the whole book and not just parts of it.
- The book contains two major changes to the system of D&D 3.5:
1. Changed spell-levels (1 to 20)
2. One feat at each character level
These two changes provide the basis for the many of the new rules.
I can only recommend the book. The rules are really nice and seem to work quite well. |

I keep hoping that someone like Monte Cook or Paizo will make a 3.75 edition that is compatible with all of my 3.x material but incorporates some most (if not all) of the things that I like about the 4e Core (please do not construe this as my supporting what they have done with the 4e Realms, because I am not). Worst comes to worst, I will try my own hand at it.
P.S. February 21st is only 6 days before my birthday!   |

I'm sort of finding out about all this awesome OGL content that freelancers and third party companies have created over the years for D&D. It's been absolutely devastating on my pocket book but oh, the content is so so good. There is a treasure trove of designers like Monte Cook and I hope they all don't go over to 4e. But I don't blame them if that's where the money is at.
So ... um, to reiterate my previous point, definitely getting a copy of this. Sorry for the bit of off topic-ness. |

And its a hell of a lot cheaper then buying a whole 'nother addition. |

Which most likely didn't happen. I'm still trying to get a copy of Ptolus right now. I'll definitely check this out. |
