Perhaps Steve Miler is right when he say they are possibly renegociating the contract. It is now 5 years since the start (early 2001 when the writers started) (and contracts are ususally built with a 5 year span)

But this said, it doesn't explain why WW doesn't anounce this year's book. *sigh*

Oh yeah, maybe they took my letter saying *Just fire the DD and let DAISY do the line* a bit too seriously and now DD is dead and locked in their basement... :wink: The only Eminem quote I know... the only rap quote I know, to be specific...

BTW, any news from WW or the dark duo somewhere? - They seem to have vanished altogether. I even posted on the WW boards to get a definitive answer, but noone cared to answer. :|
Not heard from them on here since the last discussion (and I missed that :cry:) but they might be back sometime in the near-ish future. The do pop onto the WotC forum now and then, I have never received a reply on the SSS forums, so I gave up posting on them.

Before we become pessimistic and depressed, I would like to say that we are in the middle of summer (where people generaly works less) and there are 5 1/2 months left until 2006.
So no Ravenloft product for 6 1/2 months (the last one was 2 months ago) with summer vacations interfering doesn't mean no Ravenloft product again . . .

Also perhaps the company or the developers or the authors or someone else in all this found that things in VRGttMists needed fixing. So instead of publishing a book with many errors hastily corrected they may have decided to hold it back for sometime.
I know the last is a slim chance but we can't be sure.

PS. I'm not accusing anyone for sloppy work in my speculation above. When I say "slim chance" I don't mean that "books are usually full of errors and nobody is interested to correct them". I mean that probably the book was good enough to start with and doesn't need 3 more months editing, so my speculation is probably wrong.

If I get the chance, I'll write to Ari Marmell... Maybe he knows...

The only times I ever have received responses on that forum was when I emailed the monitor directly and asked him for one. Most recently, I asked if they would reply to Charney's request for information on how they generate the Best Sellers list and they replied on the board the next day.
