Erik Mona's secret project revealed yet?

[glass]

"Fluffy Goes Down the Drain" was an adventure in WG7 Castle Greyhawk.

IIRC, Fluffy then went on to appear in a number of RPGA adventures/articles in Polyhedron*, and became a sort of unofficial RPGA mascot for a while. Fluffy-NOI-A (for Paranoia) springs to mind.


glass.

Fluffy was in Dungeon Magazine too.

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.

Yeah, it's not like WoTC said to Monte, "Sure, go ahead and use Arcana Unearthed, it's a good name." and then didn't come out with Unearthed Arcana shortly after.

And as much as I hate to say it, I'd like to see Castle Greyhawk because that means it'd be done. Gary's writing output isn't what it used to be.

No, it's about the same. Remember T1-4 was overdue by about five years....

Anyway, I hope Erik's project is an update of either the Slave Lords or the Giants, in the latter case, the 2E version by SKR.

Given that WotC doesn't want to publish a Greyhawk campaign setting because it'll potentially cannibalize sales of the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, I can't see how two big megadungeon crawls will be so distinct in the minds of the casual buyer as to not have the exact same problem.

Well actually I'd purchase anything Greyhawk that WotC would publish. Since 3.0 (and none since 3.5) has come out I've only purchased 2 Forgotten Realms items and those were discounted 50% off when I did. But I will admit that I'm not a 'casual buyer' either.

I plan of buying all of Castle Zagyg and if WotC would publish EtCG I'd buy that too.

Nod. Pretty much true for me too. A good module easily ported to Greyhawk would be fine too. Anything by Erik is going to get me to at least read the back of it.

Ditto.

Sure, and there were people buying Mystara, Birthright, Dark Sun, Planescape, Ravenloft, Jakandor, Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, Greyhawk and Spelljammer stuff under TSR. But WotC's strong belief is that properties that overlap in their appeal cannibalize sales of competing products and they'd rather go in dramatically different directions with lines for the most part -- there are probably people buying both Forgotten Realms and Eberron stuff, but many more buy one or the other.

If there is an Expedition to Castle Greyhawk adventure, I'm going to guess the developer's mandate is to make it a very different sort of product than Expedition to Undermountain.

Let's hope so. To make that distinction consciously would requite a lot more Greyhawk-savvy than WotC has shown over the past several years....
