Shackled City vs Age of Worms.

[dungeon blaster]

i'd like to see it as a gods of war type of game... with all the huge monsters. maybe a multiplayer version of gods of war.

James,

So who do we have to pay off at WotC to make them relent and give us the AoW HC?

We'd love to do a hardcover of Age of Worms... but we can't start working on it until we get the rights to do so from Wizards of the Coast (who owns the Age of Worms content). And since it'll take, at minimum, 9 to 12 months to get a hardcover in stores, I wouldn't expect to see a hardcover Age of Worms anytime soon, unfortunately.

Are the sales of The Shackled City hardcover a factor in that at all? I'd think that if that book sold (or is still selling) well, then the people at WotC would be quicker to get an Age of Worms book out the door.

Assuming there is an AoW hardcover, would it be plausible that the Greyhawk material that was scratched off could be put back in? I know WotC doesn't wany anything to alter the "default" setting of D&D, but maybe if it was in a book (instead of some magazines) it'd be okay to use "Tenser" and "Free City of Greyhawk"?

The Shackled City hardcover sold quite well (and continues to sell); not as briskly as the Dragon Compendium, but well enough that it's certainly a success. If there IS a hardcover of Age of Worms, we'd certainly look at going in there and making some changes. I'd love to see Tenser be called Tenser, for one...
