Erik Mona's secret project revealed yet?

i could really see him doing EtCG if he was looking at it as the opportunity to correct the "wrongness" that was WG7 Castle Greyhawk.

Well, while I think Erik could do a good job on Greyhawk material, Gary Gygax himself is working on Castle Zagyg, which is Castle Greyhawk with the serial numbers filed off. So it would suck for WotC to trump Gygax himself on such a project.

Unless WotC made some kind of deal with Gygax and the Troll Lords.

Not likely, I know, but this thread has had a lot of wishful thinking, so I figured I'd chime in.

EDIT: By the way, I did see the posts above about EtCG. I don't doubt it'll happen, and I don't doubt that WotC's version will outsell Castle Zagyg, but really, I've waited the better part of 30 years for Castle Greyhawk and its dungeons. But it's Gygax's version I've been waiting for, the one that started it all.

i really have no idea what he's working on, and i don't have any preponderance to say which one i think it is. the EtCG just seems the most plausible to me of the ideas i've heard, that's all.

WotC's Castle Greyhawk will be the "mainstream," D&D3.5 version that you can find at Barnes & Noble or B. Dalton's. Troll Lords' Castle Zagig will be the niche, Castle & Crusades version that you can mail-order or find at extremly well-stocked specialty stores. If everyone who planned on getting Castle Zagig refuses to buy Expedition to Castle Greyhawk, it'll probably barely make a dent in the sales.

I'd buy both, but I'd know Gary's was the real thing, no matter what rules its published for.

Yeah, that's pretty much my reaction to it.

It just baffles me that WotC hasn't been able to work something out with Gygax when it comes to publishing something like this.

The World Serpent Inn, huh? That sure would be interesting. And I'm not saying it won't happen.

*grin*

As a physical manifestation of evil, even I'm going to call foul on that piece of ...

But just think, with a 3.5 Expedition to WG7, we could finally have Wayne Reynolds draw Fluffy, and maybe even get a mini for Fluffy as well! Wouldn't that be great? *glee*

Especially since you said it figured prominently in the upcoming Campaign Classics issue of Dragon.

I don't know that they're going to publish multiple Expeditions that are essentially super-dungeons. With Expedition to Undermine on the schedule, I'd guess that sucks up the super-dungeon market for a while.

Whats a Fluffy? He asks in a noobish kinda voice.

While I've played for many years I'm not familiar with older modules. Is it like Hagrid's Fluffy in Harry Potter?
