The wonderful part about fan done material is that you can draw from many sources, and that one is a particular favorite of mine. I'm glad someone noticed how heavily I was borrowing from it! I started playing AD&D with second edition, and the Complete Guide to Necromancers was one of the first books I picked up. In fact, the idea for the Shadow Familiar came directly from the imp that Pizentios has in the Complete Guide.
It's been my major source of inspiration for the necromancer class I've been working on, and you may actually note there are several powers drawn from it as well as the Paragon Paths. I felt that the necromancers featured there were genuinely scary villains, where-as the necromancers of the Libris Mortis (the major 3rd edition book on undead and necromancy) lacked some of that same spark. This isn't to say that I haven't been looking at the Libris, the Book of Vile Darkness and other fantasy stories, but the special place the Complete Guide has in my heart has made it my top source to draw ideas from.
