Publisher interested in True20 Arabian setting?

Quickleaf

Legend
I have an arabian fantasy "scimitar-fu" setting* in the works for the True20 setting search. I am a freelancer and not interested in becoming my own publisher (though I will if it's the only way to enter my setting, darn it! :)).
Are there any publishers who would be interesting in taking my setting under their wing, essentially sponsoring it for the setting search?
I am now editing down 20,000 words, and can provide you with a sample if you're interested.

*Scimitar-Fu: If you are unfamiliar with the Arabian Nights, the term “scimitar-fu” should bring to mind devious genies twisting the wording of wishes, cunning damsels quick with sword and spell, mistaken identity in the harem, mad sultans, flying carpet chases, outrageously lucky escapes, assassin plots, heretical cults, nobles hiding among the populace, death-defying horse races, haggling in the bazaar, bluffing with bedouin, getting cursed, shapeshifting duels, enchanting storytellers, and scimitar wielding princes swapping witty repartees. It is a world based on a time that never quite was during the reign of Caliph Harun al-Rashid, the pious tyrant. Though it resembles closely the Sassinid empire of 800 CE, it mixes fact and fantasy into a unique new landscape.

We still have to release a second product. When we do (and it should be soon), we'll post on the GR boards about sponsoring.

That said, we're the least professional RPG company on the planet. Letting us sponser you is the equivalent of doing four tequila shots before approaching someone at a bar.

Hmmm...I heartily endorse a BiggusGeekus sponsorship then, as it is clearly the way to get things rolling in a positive direction:)

or Crash and Burn with the flames of a thousand suns.

But either is better than just sitting there looking at her and wishing you had the nerve to talk to her:)

...or wishing you could get Green Ronin to look at your work:)

Don't underestimate the power of Liquid Agave Courage :)

For what it's worth, I've been looking for a setting like the one you describe for ages...and True20 would be sweet for it :)
 



It definitely sounds interesting. I wonder how many other publishers are working on their own submission though. Good luck, either with finding a publisher to sponsor you, or with stepping out on your own.
 

Well I've just had my 4 shots of agave liquida de curaje... ;)

Thanks for your encouragment. I do realize that there are many publishers hard at work producing their own settings, which is cool like ice cream.
