Don't get your hopes up. From some of the folks I know at FFG, Grimm isn't that high on the list of things to get done by Gencon. If come down to Grimm or a boardgame, Grim is going to be the one pushed back.
That said, I think this is the first time they have actually said it will be released...
TWO PAGES and no mention of All Flesh Must Be Eaten!? (Of course unless someone mentioned it and I missed it)
AFMBE, the only RPG that gave me a nightmare after reading it.
Chill is cool to.
I think there is a market for a "Bag O' Props" type of thing.
Basically each bag contains a bunch of small props. Maybe an ornate key, wrinkled old leather map (some spot left blank), a letter writtne as an adventure seed, and things like that.
I used to be good for 2-4 books a month, but so far this year I don't think I have picked up more the 4-5 books total.
Just not that much good.

I like freewebs.
I'm building a setting site, that's not up yet, but you can check out my other site as an example.

it's not a setting site, but you can use similar layout.
I'm an old WEG SW fan. Some people don't see that there is much changed between Saga and the other d20 versions. I say, you arn't looking close enough to find all the stuff.
The biggest: Damage & the condition track. This is the greatest thing to happen to d20 since it was invented.
You get...
Oh, and there will be a 10 part adventure taking characters from level 1 to level 20.

Here's what I think:
It's sort of funny, but 2nd Ed AD&D books still outsell many smallpress companies. D&D 3.5 will have a pretty strong following for quite a while, though the players that move to 4E will hurt sales. Eventually the will be nothing more worth publishing for D&D V3.5. When...
I don't think it would have solved the problem you had here, but:
Every party should include atleast 1 fighter or barbarian, if you use only the core books. Normally, that will go a long ways tword killing things. Beyond the big hitters, a spellcaster and a healer help.
I would just have him/her roll up a 4th level character. Divide the EL by four to choose beasties. Give them 4-5 extra skill points and disregard cross-classed rules.
If you could pull both d20& OGL (and no you can't) a lot of small publishers would go out of business and the ones that survived would either use the current OGL or design their own system.
