WotC's other new setting

[Davelozzi]

With all the talk of the new setting search, I haven't heard much about WotC's other new setting that we heard rumors about a while back. If I remember correctly, it was a one-shot product, not a full game line, and was to be written by Ray Wininger of Dungeoncraft fame. I thought that it was supposed to be out this year but WotC has announced they're product schedule through December and I don't see it.

Has anyone else heard anything new about this?

You may be thinking of Sean and Monte's book, Ghostwalk. Ray was never contracted by WotC to create a new campaign setting.

Oh, that was Ghostwalk? Okay I've heard about that project and how it's currently on hiatus. Thanks Chris.

If I remember correctly one of the Dungeoncraft articles I've read (I couldn't read every one since Dragon is quite difficult to find here in Belgium), Ray Wininger said he would use something he mentionned (but I can't remember what ) in the new setting he had planned to create, but he didn't say that would be for WotC, nor that it would be published...

Hope it helps...

"Ghostwalk" sounds like it could be a welcome change from the Forgotten Realms/Greyhawk style of settings, and I really hope we get to see it. There are only are only tiny little scraps of information available on the setting (formerly known 'round these parts as Project G), but I'm still very interested in this thing.

The WotC setting call seems even more bizarre when you realize that Wizards is just sitting on a setting by two of the big names in game design for D20: Sean K Reynolds & Monte Cook. Go figure...

What the heck is 'Ghostwalk'?

Here's a little bit of info from Sean K. Reynolds' site:

heaven forbid they should come out with something that is not a rehash of old stuff.

hmm monte and skr. both names on one cover = money out of my pocket. even if i had heard nothing about it before it popped up in a store

edit: with that said, i'll probably buy the "search" setting just to see if all the hubub was worth it or if it's yet another horrible mistake for dnd. though i'll read alot of it in the store first. at least they are not letting everyone vote on which one wins. that never works.
