I know that this topic can get tiresome, and for those who are sick to death of it I apologise profusely, but given that we know that "Shining South" is due out in October and a "Waterdeep" book in 2005, what other FR products would fans like to see? To give this thread some direction, I'll be nasty and ask you to name one region product and one miscellaneous product.
Mine are:
"Cormyr: The Forest Kingdom"
and
"Clans of the Stout Folk" (a revamped version of FR11 Dwarves Deep, but better!)

OOh. Mean-mean-mean!
I'm afraid I will simply have to cheat and make the first a draw:
The Far Seas (a book in the style of Serpent Kingdoms and Underdark, but a bit more lore-heavy. See below - but I mean Tangled Webs rather than Daughter of the Drow) and Fae Rune (for lack of a better title - ditto, about the fey of the Realms).
quote:
In one of my 'if I ruled Wotc' fantasies I would publish the Sea races one titled 'The Farseas', heavily influenced by Elaine Cunningham's details of the Kraken Society in Daughter of the Drow.
For miscellaneous:
The Weave: A book containing lore on how magic works in the Realms, spells in relation to farming, smithing, and other crafts and industries. |

The Moonsea
This is an area that is overdue for an updated sourcebook. A huge amount of change has happened since the previous books on this area (The Moonsea (2e) and Ruins of Zhentil Keep) and it could do with an update.
Dungeons of the Realms
Some detailed info on some of the famous and infamous dungeons of the Realms (particularly those left as no more than floating references in previous products).

If I recall there's also a product called, Lost Empires or something like that due in the future. |

For regional project: Religious Hierarchies of the Heartlands.
A softcover product detailing the religious institutions (not the deities) of the heartlands. The work would discuss Hierarchies within the various churches (whose at the top and who¡¦s looking to get there), relations with other temples, detailed maps of at least one major temple per religion, holy artifacts of each major religion, religious conflicts, and a charting of the "flock" since the Time of Troubles (i.e. whose prominence has waxed and/or waned in various regions since that time).
For miscellaneous project: Encyclopedia of the Forgotten Realms
This product would reference people, places and things, but rather than giving a description it would only list their appearance in all other FR products (1E 2E & 3E). This would give players and DMs a way to find exactly what mods, novels, sourcebooks, video games, etc the subject has appeared in. Thus say you wanted info on the late King Azoun. It would list every product (by date of release) that he has made an appearance in.

What do I want? Hmm... The Encyclopedia mentioned previously would be great, for starters.
I want an update to Kara-Tur and Zahkara.
I want info on the island nations of Lantan and Nimbral.
I want info on Sembia.
And I want the mentioned but unwritten Volo's Guides:
quote:
ten “essential starter” Volo’s Guides first (Moonsea, Amn, Tethyr, Silver Marches, the Vast, Impiltur, Aglarond, Calimshan, Tashluta and the Tashalar, and of course “All the Other Places I Got Thrown Out Of”).

hmmmm
Regional Source Book: Old Empires
General FR book: Powers and Avatars which would focus on the Deitys churchs including such juicy info as What deitys churchs are found in what cities of Faerun, More Deity specific spells and Prcs from F&A, DhD and P&P converted to 3ed, Book would also contain rituals for all faithes like those seen in LoD, Book would also contain Chosen templates for all those deitys known to have chosen and would also include instructions on how to make your own chosen template, New outsiders the gods of the FR dont live among Solars, Devils and Demons why do there worshipers turn into them after death, the outsiders that live in a gods home realm should reflect the Aspect of the gods ie outsiders should be Domain based like the ones found in Disolution |

If we're going all-out, then I'll third the Encyclopedia, and add that I really want a 3.5 revision and update of Maztica. |

I could be mistaken but I think someone on another scroll mentioned something about updates fro Kara-tur and Maztica appearing in a recent issue of Dragon. Anyone happen to have that issue?
I would certianly love for all three of those areas to get an nice sourcebook update and the Hordelands as well. |

This is very hard to determine. Mr. Krashos has given a limited response. I must admit that I am excited about the Fallen Empires product that is lurking in the shadows. I think it would clear up a lot and make the world detailed in a way to make being an adventerer more interesting.
REGIONAL AREA: The Vast. It is no longer run by the RPGA and can be detailed to my heart's content. Sembia would be a good one, but I feat that that place would not fit up to what I imagine. I dislike the Silver Ravens theme going on and feel that it would focus too much on various NPCs and not about the detailed little things that are fascinating.
OTHER SOURCE BOOK: Volo's Guide to the Vast! It was hard not to say Volo's Guide to the Moonsea, but I just had to complement the first book. 
I'm suprised that George K. didn't say Impulter and want to put himself in as an author!!! |

You know, I should change my answer.
OTHER: Volo's Guide to Sembia!!! This would detail Sembia with everything that I want to know about the area, without having to get into the existing power structure. It would detail the countryside, the cities, the peoples, the customs, and all else that is most excellent about the Volo's Guide products for a country that has been cast in shadows. |

Region Product: Do I have to pick just one? Okay....this is tough, Sembia or Cormyr? I'll go with Sembia. The novel series made me very eager to see a regional product focused on this area.
and
Miscellaneous Product: Prestige Classe of the Realms. I just don't think there have been enough Prestige Classes in current Realms products.
Dear Eilistraee, I couldn't even type that with a straight face. Okay, seriously, for my misc. product:
Tel'Quessir of the Realms. The elves are in quite a state of flux right now and I'd like to see something that focused on this race for the Realms.

Sirius, seeing as how your such a fan of PrCs - you know, how you can't get enough of their crunchy goodness  - I think you should add your title of King Fanboy of FR PrCs to your siggy, IMHO. If not then at least found a 'We Need More Realms Prestige Classes' Fanclub. I don't know how popular it would be, but I suppose you might attract at least a hundred WotC executives. |

The Moonshaes. It's been about 20 years in game time or so since that's been given a update. :( I'd go with the other continents as well.
HMMM for the other sourcebook, I'll further add to the faiths of Faerun, but gives us some of the rituals of the clergy! I know I know I've begged Ed for this before and he's said it won't happen.  |

Thanks Sarelle for the suggestion. However, I'm too busy right now with my new foundation: Show your Support for Eberron. I just feel WOTC hasn't given enough support for this new setting and I hope my grass roots effort can help the masses be informed of this product coming out.
**
Thanks to everyone who has shared their FR product wishlist so far. I've enjoyed seeing everyone's ideas. A couple from some lists made me realize once again there do exist some fans that want more from an FR gaming product than something that can be easily slid into a generic world because it so lacks any FR lore. |

This is what got me hooked on FR, the lore. I don't want FR books that don't have FR lore in them! Yes I know I'm going to be disappointed about 3e books, and have been, because WOTC has mostly decided FR books must also be generic enough that people can burrow ideas from them for thier homebrew or other worlds. Probably why I for some strange reason don't even touch my 3/3.5 books except for the FRCS and always fall back on my 1/2e books. |

i'm not so sure about guides to places. That allows too much abuse for players knowing more source material than dms, it's been kept broad because it's supposed to be flexible.
if fallen empires isn't history rich, i would like to see a "book of the world" since wotc just wrote some other artifact books (vile darkness, exahlted deeds) giving more background on how nations were formed, more detail on stuggles between gods, and npc's that have been around for thousands of years.
or an updated powers and avatars, something that focuses on lesser gods, like jergal, or the halfling pantheon. |

Why would more guides to other places not allow flexibility? I'm not required to use something precisely as provided. Even if the players think they know the source material as officially released, they don't know what changes I may have made for the campaign. |

My wish list:
Regional:
The Sword Coast (basically correlating with Sword Coast region north and south of Waterdeep in FRCS)
Islands of the Trackless Sea (focus on small northern islands, Moonshaes, Mintarn, the Nelanther, Lantan, and Nimbral and maybe some undersea realms)
The Demonlands (Impiltur and the Bloodstone Lands)
Cormyr, the Forest Kingdom
Sembia, Merchant-Kingdom of the Raven
The Dragon Coast (including Turmish)
The Moonsea
Combined Regionals (maybe more realistic)
The Sword Coast and Islands of the northern Trackless Sea
Lands of the Dragon (Cormyr and the Dragon Coast)
Lands of the Raven (Sembia and the southern Dalelands)
The Moonsea (Moonsea and northern Dales)
Miscellaneous:
Clans of the Stout Folk (great idea, George)
Very small scale evil organizations (dozen or less people)

My wishlist:
1. Some sort of resolution to the war in Unther.
2. A return of the Volo Guides format for detailing regions.
3. The stuff on Eric's list. (what can I say, I've always lived by the credo: beg, borrow, or steal when it comes to gaming inspiration.)
4. If we're going with a Clans of the Stout Folk, I'd like to see something on the various gnome communities. (Forgotten no longer!)

Hmm, mine?
Regional: The Far North, for lack of a better term. Past the Spine of the World, north of the Great Glacier-that untouched area. What little I have on that area entrances me, and I'd love to see more on it.
Miscellaneous: Photocopies of the contents of Ed's house! No, seriously, I'm not sure. I think I'd like to see something like what Eric described, except devoted to organizations of any size that fall into what I like to call the gray category-not outright evil, not all holy good, but those who fall inbetween. |

I've never heard ANYthing about the area above the Great Glacier/Spine of the World. Very interesting.
However I more agree with your second point - just plain organisations, businesses, secret societies, cults and governing bodies - not ones which require PrCs or are profoundly evil, or enlightened. Just organisations of the Realms. That would be fascinating, and wonderfully endless! |

Little very much applies there-The only knowledge I can remember is mental screenshots of the area from Tales of the Sword Coast!
I like the gray area because I'm a large fan of conspiracy and secret society things(leading to a love for the X-Files and Deus Ex, but that's offtopic)-and that's the area they fall into. This is the kind of organization dispersal I prefer:
5% White(The obviously good good guys)/5% Black(The obviously evil evil guys)/90% Gray(everything in between).
So that's why I'd like that-but your ideas are good, also. |

No, as Moongoose Publications has shown with their Ultimate Prestige Class line of products, no matter what path is taken...all roads lead to some amount of Prcs being in a product. |

Since I can't possibly think of just one:
Regional Preferences:
-Cormyr by Ed Greenwood
-Impiltur by Eric L. Boyd & George Krashos (I know better than most just how hard George has been working on this nation, and it would truly be a shame if he didn't have some role in its official detail)
-Western Heartlands (don't really care who)
"Others":
-Gnomes, The Forgotten Folk
-Safeholds and Strongholds: A sourcebook dealing all sorts of locales, large and small, natural and crafted, used as homes, lairs, inns, taverns, and other sites ripe for starting, continuing, and finishing adventures, with both maps and descriptions for each (including a small pull-out containing "blanks": unmarked maps for player distribution and/or DM use in filling these locations themselves). We'd get some great new spots, detail some old ones, and still have room to introduce plenty of background NPCs for individual campaigns to snatch up and build on.
-Forgotten Realms Annual, a yearly magazine (or magazine-style) release which gathered the important events of the last year's fiction into neatly packaged game terms, both to allow continual updating of the timeline, and to give those game stats and other details that can corrupt a regional or other sourcebook when they depend to much on revealing (PGtF) or concealing (Underdark) the relevant information.
There is one other thing I'd like to see, but know will likely never happen, and that's an atlas/roadmap product. I don't mean FRCS style colored maps, but the brown-on-parchment type that look to readers as they would to real denizens of the Realms: with caravan routes, patrol patterns, hand-scribbled notes about rumored treasures, and similar details to help liven up games. |

I'll agree with my esteemed colleague above here, though I'm more partial to halflings than dwarves and wish to get the full story on the Hin of the Realms....
Oh, and a few other pie-in-the-sky ideas (while I run screaming from the concept and work of the Encyclopedia--which would have taken 9 full time staffers at least 3 years to compile and do properly back in 1999--I know cause we looked into it....):
Durnan's Guide to Undermountain
Madeiron Sunderstone's Treatise on Blades and Bludgeons 
Volo's Guide to Myth Nantar 
why I'm in a Bad Mood: The Memoirs of Khelben Arunsun 
Steven
Whose favorite of Eric's ideas was the Demonlands supplement....
PS: Wonder if I should ever repitch to WotCC the old supplement idea I had in 1998 of Lands West: Beyond the Maztican Frontiers and Through the Gorge of Fallen Gods, an Explorers' Manual by the Ervestar Trading Company??????  |

"Life in Faerûn" book: the kind of societal, economic, cultural, and linguistic lore Ed's doling out on his thread. A real player's guide to what a character would know.
Undermountain levels 4-6
The Dungeon of the Crypt
Compilation of stonedelve mini-dungeons like Irongard
Big Dalelands sourcebook putting in one place the geography (with as little overlap with Volo's Guide to the Dales as possible), the political landscape, the domains of dragons, the plots of Voonlar and Silver Morn and Malthiir and the churches, new "Elminster's Guide"-style farmsteads and dungeons and curiosities, local traditions and songs, current clack...
"Elminster's Guide to the Realms" reprint
Cormyr sourcebook as above and with the full history and noble families, plus the complete FRQ1 Haunted Halls of Eveningstar in 40 pages of mouse type
Book on adventuring: the culture, history, practices, mindset of adventurers, sample bands, player advice in naming your band and making it a memorable unit. This is a big part of the Realms that has never been tackled in one go; this one, suitably crunchified, I can see WotC doing.
A kind of Volo's Guide to All Things Magical II about more central, less peripheral aspects of the Art: how students learn, all sorts of common spells that aren't combat-based enough for the Player's Handbook, more spells filled in from the novels, pieces on translocational magic and the magic of communication, adventuring wizards, what mages of power do, building towers, guidelines on fine-tuning and altering spells, locally prevalent spells, narrating spell effects...
