1. Does anyone know anything about Rich Burlew's campaign setting, whatsoever, no matter how vague or general? (e.g. "It's mostly low-level" or "It's mostly high-level")

2. What are the chances that WotC going to do anything with it, ever? (whether releasing the rights back to Burlew or scavenging it for ideas and dispersing them through other sourcebooks or releasing it to the public) 0%? 5%? 20%? 80%?

Now that that is over, why don't you read the articles from Giant in the Playground? Here (http://www.giantitp.com/Gaming.html), on the bottom of the page, are the articles. (Called "New World")

If you're talking about the campaign setting that he sent in and which was one of the 3 finalists to the Campaign survey of 2003 (or whenever), then expect to never hear a word about it. Burlew signed an NDA on the subject, and Wizards can now use that setting in any way they want, even to insert parts of it into Eberron (should they choose), and no one could ever say a thing about it.

If you're talking about the setting he started building on his site, then it's apparently never going to be updated; he's got essentially a full-time job with OotS now, and doesn't produce any content that's not OotS-related.

Hmmm... that came of harsher towards Rich than I had planned; I like Rich's stuff, but it seems to be true nonetheless.
