They pitched the idea to WotC, whom at the time SKR was working for, and Monte was not.WotC's response was disinterest. Undeterred, SKR and Monte shopped the product around for d20 publication. From this crowd, they received a rather great deal of interest.WotC noted that this product that they had initially turned their nose up at was now being favorably received by many publishers. Hurriedly, they made Monte and SKR an offer, which was apparently acceptable.All of this took quite a bit of time, which is why we saw Ghostwalk being published on the eve of 3.5E, despite it's 3E mechanics. Either there was no time to convert it, or no real interest on anyone's part. Either way, the 3.5E update supplement (complete with a map of the region) is available now as a <a href="http://wizards.com/dnd/files/Ghostwalkv35Conversion.zip" target="_blank">web enhancement</a>.</blockquote>
