[QUOTE="johnsemlak, post: 1022490, member: 7233"] How many settings which finished either in the top 11 or the top 3 are going to be published by d20 companies. All I remember specifically is Morningstar by Goodman Games. Another thing occured to me in thinking about this... Isn't it true that by holding the setting search and choosing 11 settings, then narrowing it down to three (from 11,000 submissions IIRC) , didn't WotC effectively give free research away as the finalist settings (which are presumably very good as well) can now be published by independant publishers. I mean, d20 companies are essentially saved their own setting search process, looking through thousands of submissions and so forth, since they can or could be assured that a setting that made it into the final 11, or the final 3, is at least worth reading through. Just thought I'd toss that out. Again, which other settings are being published? [/QUOTE]
