Yes, seriously, eagerly, earnestly, desperately needed.
I would definitely love to see this book.
I would also like to see a Dwarven race book come out because it seems that there's a lot about them that's left out. Ok, so I'd like to see an individual race book that details things more than the core book.
Also, an expanded book that contains equal (or pseudo equal) parts of the baddies of Blackmoor. This could contain all the enemies, their realms, and their goals! But if you'd like to give us a more in depth look at each aggressor/enemy separate source books are fine with me. Even though my pocket book will hate me!
One question I did want to ask: Will you still be putting out some 3.5 material even when 4th edition is on the market?
Regardless, I'm looking forward to see what comes out in the future! I feel like my want list is going to expand further, in the near future!

While I am pretty sure that either Gary Gygax or Dave Arneson *are* the Egg, the WL box, detailing the prehistory of JG's Wilderlands aka OD&D's Known World, gives the planet a name, details it's solar system, and tells A LOT about it's creators.
Should be no problem to find a good explanation of the egg with that material...
Really, the WL box was THE gaming product of the last years (except the BM books, of course) and I wouldn't miss the opportunity to get it - thw whole JG stuff fits perfectly into the old FFC concept. Smile But, OTOH, the box was so darn expensive...
**********************
Havard:
The more I'm thinking about this the more I am beginning to see the Egg as a potential problem for a future campaign. The Egg is so close to Blackmoor geographically, and the players are bound to catch an interest, especially since Uther forbids people to go there. Also, there is a limit to how many times I can use the situation where the PCs journey towards the land of the Egg, then wake up a month later at a random location without remembering what happened in the land of the Egg. The entire setting invites to a confrontation with the Egg, and I have problems seeing how to avoid that for too long a time.
Suggestions?
***********************
Rafael:
Yeah, the Egg will be fried soon enough...
Still, I personally would like to see an official approach on this - Blackmoor without the Egg, that is a bit like Dragonlance without dragons, if you know what I mean...
IMC, the Egg will linger around a while longer, maybe until the 1070s, and then be heroically overthrown by, as always in BM's history, a bunch of brave adventurers... Smile

LordTarrant:
In my campaign I plan on having The Egg an alien that was captured on another planet by the crew of spaceship itself. When the ship crash landed on the surface of the world (which may have been caused by The Egg) it escaped and traveled to the Island of Coot where it currently resides feeding on the very magical rich energies found in the north. I've also decided to have The Egg so full of magical energy that to destroy it would cause a flood of magical energy to lash, out killing anyone practicing magic at that moment (i.e. casting a spell) and even more chilling is any creature that uses magic naturally (i.e. Sorcerers) if caught within the magical backlash could be killed outright. Not to mention any long term effects such a backlash would have sort of like radiation from a nuclear explosion. So my players, of which one is a sorceress, will have a dilemma to face.
