OP (original poster):
Personally I’d like rules for “troupe play”, where each character is leading/managing a small band of their own. Small mercenary companies, Trading caravans etc. Not necessarily domain level play (That’s a whole supplement).

Talmor:
I’m not sure if it’s already included, but the random dungeon generators from Scarlet Heroes would be a great addition.

Gwarh:
I’d like to see the Domain stuff from “An Echo, Resounding” added in some form, preferably expanded.

From reading a long thread on rpg.net I get the impression (though I may be wrong) that Kevin is not super into big detailed sets of domain management rules, and is more into how such rules drive play, that is give things for the players to react to and do. (I’ve always got the rules from “Adventurer, Conqueror, King!” if I want that sort of thing anyways)

Also there may already be some sort of rules to these effects in the beta draft as I’ve only lightly skimmed the whole thing so far.

  • wmarshal:
  • An example of domain play in action would be useful. Maybe it’s because I’m more inclined to be a “details from the ground up” kind of person, but I never really got how the domain rules in Kevin’s books are supposed to work.

d20gaming:
I enjoyed 4e’s take on the different designation of powers; primal, arcane, psionics, divine, and martial. Mechanically they were all basically the same, but flavor wise they felt unique.

Plague-Knight:
epic mounts: Dragons, Gryphons, Dwarven steamships etc. • Paths to Divinity: Godbound integration • High-level stuff • More foci • Realm Management/An Echo, Resounding integration

ReapingKing:
Conversion aids for me. I’d like to see more Miracles for Priests to reflect different gods from other settings. Maybe some rules for more exotic weapons too.

Both of those are the sort of thing I could see in the upcoming Atlas of Latter Earth if it covered things outside the area of the Gyre. That might be the opposite of the plan however.

Edit: I’d like an Illusionist Arcane Tradition for Christmas too.

Edit 2: For Hanukkah I’d like a Berserker Foci.
