So, say I wanted to set a game in the 1100 era - what weapons (and armor, etc. if applicable/doable) are appropriate?It sounds like you want a book that has lists of weapons appropriate for various eras and regions, running up to early firearms. So you could say "I want a game with the feel of the 100 years War... does the handgunne exist yet? What about plate mail" and look it up.
That sound about right?
Interesting, if rather scholarly and research heavy, idea.
I know I'd love to illustrate it - I love illustrating weapons and armor! :)

That was one of the aspects I loved most about ...And a 10ft Pole book. It was broken up by ere. Helped a lot when doing games not set in standard medieval times. Actually i would love to see some company do a new version of that book, except add stats and more indepth descriptions to the items. Though that would likely be to big of a book, so maybe a series of books by ere.

Hmmmm, the evolution of weapons over time, perhaps in the past, present and future... that sounds like part of a set of supplements for a sort of 'current era d20' game I remember something about...*shifty eyes*

Well, i enjoy most of the products and have easily a half dozen favorites. However, i did junior high in greece where my parents were stationed in the military, and my exposure to greek mythology was what truly started my entrance into RPG games back in 1e ad&d. I will say the godling/mystic godling is the closest to my heart to see in practice. While some of the traits needed an overhaul, it appealed to me as a player a great deal. So it gets my vote.
Put me down as another vote for more Witchy love!!
Also for a new product suggestion: a book on Thieve's Guilds would be badass, especially if it included a Mafia Don style PrC with abilties to call in favors, contacts etc

Well we never hate hearing that!

Since Godlings is ahead of Mystic Godlings in the voting that's where I put your vote, though I confess that given the numbers for both books a third Godling-related product seems inevitable at this point.
Also for a new product suggestion: a book on Thieve's Guilds would be badass, especially if it included a Mafia Don style PrC with abilties to call in favors, contacts etc
Interesting! Consider it thrown into the idea-hopper. :D
Specifically I'd like to see the patrons fleshed out a little more, possibly with some "patron specific" hexes. Why should the patron that grants nasty necromantic spells, the patron that gives explosions, and the one with all the illusions hand out the same hexes?
Neat idea, and there are certainly a lot of people who indicated SOME focus on patrons was called for. I like that take on it.
Failing that more on the Warmaster. I love the concept.
I put your vote into the Witches Curses sequel, but I'm curious. What more would you like to see for the War Master?
I would say armiger, but of what's listed, I'll go with godlings.
You can vote for anything, not just what's listed. I went ahead and jotted you down for Armiger. (It's one of my favorite projects too. I wrote the first draft in 4 hours, because I suddenly had this great idea...)

On a more serious write it, though a ecology about succubi might be pretty cool.
Anyways there is a couple of base classes i would like to see you guys tackle.
Noble - A leader type, think bard with out the spells. able to inspire lead (aka buff) others and be a decent combatant themselves. Better would be a class that has a few archetypes. One more social, another maybe minor magic and the third more melee combat.
Temptress - D20 Conan by Mongoose has one, and I loved the concept of that class.
Not a sequal but something to consider, I would love to see a gotta catch'em all class with poke'mon in mind. Or if not an all out class at least a magic system or rules set that would allow for such a thing, binding spheres and all.
Some things to consider for this would be alignments, monster advancements (especially handling monsters who can summon monsters), and establishing challenges and combat. I'm sure there is also a lot more to take into consideration but those were a few I thought of.
Also +1 on Dream Magic and The Dark Mistress!

AH yes the Temptress. I would get behind that. It is a good idea, with tons of RP power. I like the way our ever Dark Mistress thinks...

What be the Temptress?? some sort of spooky, supernatural seducer? cuz if so that would be hella awesome.

That sounds awesome to me. Especially if it has good stats for early firearms like the arquebus and blunderbus, and maybe even later stuff depending on how far you decide to take.
I'd also like to see a Guide to Sci-fi (like sci-fi elements in a fantasy setting, similar to Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, Numeria or City of the Gods).
Rules for playing monsters would always be cool.
Of course no matter what you put out I'm sure it will be awesome. There's like four of you're products I've already bought, and many more I'd like to buy.

The one from Conan which I liked a lot, but to make it fit for DnD would need to be tweaked some and for pathfinder even more. Since Conan was only based on D20. It was kinda what you are thinking but had 3 paths they could pick. One was more rogue like, one was more social and the last had a little sorcery.
|
|
@Monkeygod - As Jason says, they had some default abilities then a choice of three paths that made them each play a bit differently.
@Jason Ellis 350 - Yeah I really liked the class in Conan. It is one of those classes I would love to see get redone for pathfinder. Take the core idea and redo it using elements of Pathfinder.
Preorder ?That just got you moved from my crazy list, to my super crazy avoid at all cost list. :)
+1 to the pre-order, +2 to moving Kthulhu to the super crazy avoid at all cost list. ;-)
You know what I want? Something that's a follow-up wink and a nod to Monte Cook's Chaositech. Stuff that would go good in a Numeria or Thundarr The Barbarian style campaign. Or if you're needing to get Cthulhu a spanking.

Actually, the Noble class in the Freeport Companion for Pathfinder is a lot like that. But seeing SGG do some expansion work on it would be nice.
As for voting.. RuneStaves and Wyrd Wands were a great concept and could use some follow-up.

Monkey God put out something similar to this called From Stone to Steel.
"From Stone to Steel, MonkeyGod Enterprises' 350+ page encyclopedia of weaponry and armor, has been released in an electronic edition by Highmoon Media Productions. The book, which was originally released in 2003 in a deluxe hardcover edition, chronicles the development of weapons and armor from the stone age, all the way to the Renaissance, with an eye towards cultures all across the globe."
Unfortunately I can't seem to find it on Drive Thru RPG any longer.

Urath DM - Yeah I heard there was one in the book. I don't have it yet though. Of course i am always in favor of seeing different companies do their own take on classes. It can let me mix and match sometimes to get something more inline with what I want. :)
Besides at 52 products a year they might actually run out of idea's eventually.

If you only knew, my dear succubus...
I would like to see a sequel to hoof and horn. I always like to playing weird races.
Agreed. My last 3 characters all had hooves and I would love to see more things for them.
Advanced Options: Witches' Hexes (11)
Yay we're making up ground! Go, witches!
Also, let me chime in for a temptress class! Especially one that has both magic and non-magic options. One of the things I *love* about SGG classes is that they all carry that customizable trait that makes Pathfinder so much better than 3.5 (and I loved me some 3.5!) You could either go with broad paths (like you did for the death mage), or more talent/special ability choices (like shadow assassin, your magus, and godling).
Also, some temptation options for your other classes (godlings in particular!) would be very cool!
I would like to see a sequel to hoof and horn. I always like to playing weird races.Agreed. My last 3 characters all had hooves and I would love to see more things for them.
Not to threadjack too badly, but check out Remarkable Races by Alluria if you like odd races. You will be happy.

Both those ideas are now in the hopper!
Not a sequal but something to consider, I would love to see a gotta catch'em all class with poke'mon in mind. Or if not an all out class at least a magic system or rules set that would allow for such a thing, binding spheres and all.
I could actually see doing an alternate class for the summoner, that captures creatures for future summoning rather than having an eidolon... Weird, this might be a good idea.
Also +1 on Dream Magic and The Dark Mistress!
One vote each, so I put you down for Dream Magic (since you said it first)
but I'm curious. What more would you like to see for the War Master?More options and class specific feats perhaps. I love these types of classes (currently playing a Cavalier in a Pathfinder game) and they are rarely done well in my opinion. Most of them tend to be a guy who can't fight well if needed (3E Marshall, I'm looking at you) or someone dependent on magical style effects (Also called just play a bard).
Okay, that's pretty clear. I'll certainly add those ideas to the hopper.
Well my real vote would be for a class that gets various bloodlines like a sorcerer, but is not a caster.
To be clear, you mean doing something like "The Scion inherits powers from his unusual heritage, which help him strike down, baffle, or avoid his foes depending on how he focuses his talents." ? Neat idea... I'll add it to the hopper along with GGT Water Magic, another few Races of... books, and a vote for a sequel to Earth Magic.
Rules for playing monsters would always be cool.
I've added your other dieas to our hopper, but I wanted to ask if you've seen Rite Publishing's books that make giants or gargoyles a playable 20-level class?
Of course no matter what you put out I'm sure it will be awesome. There's like four of you're products I've already bought, and many more I'd like to buy.
We aim to please!
You know what I want? Something that's a follow-up wink and a nod to Monte Cook's Chaositech. Stuff that would go good in a Numeria or Thundarr The Barbarian style campaign. Or if you're needing to get Cthulhu a spanking.
That might well match up nicely with some other plans I'm still working on...
As for voting.. RuneStaves and Wyrd Wands were a great concept and could use some follow-up.
Wow, something really recent gets a vote! Added.
Besides at 52 products a year they might actually run out of idea's eventually.
No sign of that yet!
It's looking like it is coming down to a three way race between the Time Thief, Godling, and Witch's.
And witches was way behind until someone made a plea for it. So if anyone wants some other product to win, pitch your case for other fans to see!
Rather than a sequel to Advanced Options: Oracle's Curses, how about a book of additional Oracle Mysteries?
A sequel to Oracles' Curses is almost sure to include both mysteries and curses, possible with rules for links between the two. I'll mark this as a vote for "more oracles" which is how I see most sequel votes. :)

...Huh..when you put it THAT way..this is kind of cool.

To put it simply I think there is potential in the various bloodline, wizard school, domain, oracle mystery, and witch hex features that would be really neat to explore independent of being a caster. At the very least I think magic classes that draw from only a limited pool of abilities rather than a varied spell list deserve some exploration.
Also put me down for the "capture monsters" summoner, there are some really nice mage types you could pull off with that.
Gotcha.
I'll also note that our most recent PDF, Advanced Options: Inquisitor's Judgments, includes the Justicar, a non-spellcasting alternative to the inquisitor, that plays with judgments without playing with spells.

"If you have ever read Jim Butcher's Codex Alera series, the furies everyone uses are supposed to be based on Pokemon of all things. Something about a dare he took after being part of a convention panel. There are no bad story ideas, only bad execution."
"Mix Pokemon with the Roman Empire."
I gamed with Jim, back in the day. Only he could pull something like that off, and the end result is (IMHO) awesome.

Dear Mr Stephens,
I would just like to say that this thread has got to be one of the coolest things ever done by a company. Allowing your fan base to help steer the direction of your upcoming product line is Pure Genius, pun intended.
Also,
Your idea hopper must be huge, as you keep tossing thing into it.
I really and truly wish SGG the best of luck and here's hoping you guys keep making money so you can keep churning out badass books.
Thank you for all your hard work and time :-)
I'm enjoying all of SGGs PF compatible products so keep up the good work.
Now my vote on here goes to a followup to Races of Hoof and Horn ... either a new theme for races (Fang and Feather, perhaps, for cat-like (quasi) humanoids, bear- or dog-like (quasi) humanoids, and something perhaps akin to 3.5s Raptorans; an avian humanoid) or an expansion of Hoof and Horn in some way (or preferably both!) And before anyone points it out I already have Alluria's entire Remarkable Races series but SGG and Alluria both do awesome work and the field is big enough for both of them to get into the races game.
