        I think that not too many publishers trying to run a
business are going to plan their convention presence for THE
con of the year on being able to write material based on a 
book that they will not see until that convention, fighting
anyone else who wants to do that for printer space, and then
generating sales. That's a really silly business model. D20
isn't going to save the universe in a single day with a +1
mace.
        Run con games? Yes. Publish stuff? My magic 8-ball says 
Outlook Not So Good...
