New D&D campaign setting by Ray Winniger?

Did anyone else notice the recent profile in Dragon 293. It was mentioned that Ray Winniger is working on a new D&D camaign setting. For those that haven't read it here's the quote:

"... and he's currently in the early stages of writing a lengthy sourcebook detailing an original D&D campaign setting."

So has anyone heard any more information on what this might possibly be? In the article he's quoted as saying he enjoys his settings a bit quirky and distinctive. If his Dragon column is any indication I think any setting he designs will be interesting at least.

I'm glad they're doing a new setting. I've been looking forward to a 3E campaign setting that was different from the Realms or Greyhawk. If they can rival the originality of Darksun and Planescape I'd definatly buy it, that's for sure.

That's very interesting! (I don't have Dragon #293 yet - argh! ) Maybe it's his current Dungeoncraft World? Probably not, though...

I hope it isn't this campaign setting, as I think its pretty terrible.

That is of course because I dislike the setting, not the author.

Has Ray Winniger ever posted here? It be pretty cool if we could get more information on this from him.

I was just getting ready to post this....

This must be the new setting that Anthony Valerta mentioned.


Cool,

And yes, Ray has posted a few times on the previous version of these boards. I suspect he'll find his way here eventually.

Perhaps he's been tasked with making a Campaign Sourcbook of the Chainmail setting?

While that might be interesting I'm looking forward to seeing something a little different than 'the other side' of Greyhawk. Plus the whole "...original D&D campaign setting" makes me think it'll be something new.

I absolutely had no interest in the Lost World dinosaur/jungle setting he was doing in Dragon and consequently never read an article by Ray, until the new Dragon came out. I think Ray is a good writer after having read his 7 rules of Dungeoncraft article and think he will most likely do a good job with whatever setting he's working on... Whether the setting is useful or interesting to me (and whether or not I will buy it) are another kettle of fish entirely.

Wizards had promised a new D&D campaign setting for next year on their website some time ago, if anyone recalls.

BTW: I, too, hope the new setting is not the Chainmail/other side of Greyhawk setting. I would not buy that under any circumstances.

While Lost World, or Janda's Valley or whatever it was called was certainly a risk as far as a setting goes, his previous setting, available on the Dragon website, is really cool.

What setting is that? Link, please!
