Ambrosia, I know that Rite's Faces of the Tarnished Souk are basically what your #3 is about.
Yep, but I'd like to see a collaborative compilation, especially if the different 3pps can riff of each other.

1) With gemstone dragons as non-OGL, I'd love to see Super Genius and Dreamscarred come up with a few completely new psionic dragons. I'd really love it if the psionic dragons could draw on (East) Indian/"Vudra" and/or "Lashunta" themes. Bonus points for a psionic archetypes/bloodlines for draconic disciples, psionic warriors, and psions.
2) And while I'm at it, I'd love a Pathfinder "Draconomicon" hardcover with each 3pp contributing completely new dragon types, as well as all the nifty flavor stuff: draconic physiology & psychology, a couple pages of Draconic words and phrases, statted draconic NPCs/BBEGs, etc...
3) And in a similar vein, how about a book of BBEGs ready for GMs to drop into home campaigns? Maybe stat them up at 3-4 different CR/experience levels, with a couple pages of background/motivations/goals and a 1/2 to full page of adventure hooks? If every 3pp contributes 2 or 3, it'd be awesome.
Psionic dragons don't work so well within the framework of Hindu folklore, since the equivalents to dragons - Azi, Maharogas, and Nagas, don't have a strong mental power aspect to them. The Tibetan and Bhutanese Druk, however, which is related to the Makara (Crocodile, later seen artistically as an elephant-headed fish), is associated with Vairocana, and could be interpreted as a psionic creature.
Sorry to chime into what seems to be a thread that's loosing its steam, but here's a special little treat that Andreas, Jeremy, Dario, and I have cooked up for you.
So yeah, hats off to you, Mr. Porter. You're totally right; I'm totally wrong. It can be done, and I'm super interested in collaboration with other 3PPs now.

I know Little Red would be as well. We have two of our designers on break for like a week come Tuesday.
I think the key would be to make it content neutral. Something new. As much as we love a company's rule set or campaign setting we might want to instead keep it neutral ground.
I would be honored to provide any support needed for this.

While it's not precisely what people are asking for, Dreamscarred Press and Radiant House have decided to bundle their two most popular products into one purchase with a nice discount in some other store which shall remain nameless.
Who knows what the future could hold? If people want to see some sort of Pact Magic / Psionic crossover, hearing some voices certainly wouldn't hurt.
