Seems to me that Wizards is getting out of the whole 'campaign setting'
business altogether. It seems that they really don't want to support
game settings anymore, instead opting for one-shot deals like Diablo.
The only world they're 'supporting' is FR, and the even they are only
scheduled to get 1 supplement per quarter (or something like that).
Greyhawk is RPGA now, and all other settings have been 'handed' to their
respective official sites. Ah well, doesn't really matter to me any
more, just an observation.
