R&D was going to carve up the book and use parts of it in various other books as appropriate.Monte and Sue lobbied WotC for a long time for a license to publish it, as did at least one other company.Months passed, usually with no response.Finally, WotC decided they wouldn't license it out and would publish it themselves (perhaps because they believed that if these other two companies wanted it that badly, they should keep it).It got published ... right before 3.5, without being updated to 3.5 (I did a 3.5 conversion in a web enhancement).I have no idea howmany copies it sold because it was released over a year after I left WotC. So it could have been a success in WotC terms, or a complete flop, I don't know.Ghostwalk was always intended as a one-shot setting, in the same way that Council of Wyrms was. It wasn't going to have any support products, it was just supposed to be "here's a brand-new campaign setting/capstone book."</blockquote>
