[QUOTE="Greg V, post: 5173297, member: 31270"] Basically, from what I can figure out it boils down to that Clark is REALLY busy with a new (non-RPG) job and couldn't make the time commitment to be involved. Since Bill is doing all the heavy publishing lifting then it didn't make sense to funnel it all through a company that is fundamentally both of them. This allowed Bill to do what he wanted with it without having to drag Clark into all the incumbent hassles of publishing something essentially with his name on it--the "legal reasons" as I understand it. I think there were also some distribution things that came into it--remember Necromancer never published and distributed its own stuff, it was always through partnerships with other publishers, so what Frog God Games is doing is somewhat outside the Necromancer model. However, all this is being done absolutley with Clark's blessing. He was a big proponent of getting Slumbering Tsar out all along. So the Necromancer IP is graciously made available, which means all of the stuff in ST that ties into other Necromacner products did not have to be changed. I'm sure Bill or Clark could give a much fuller explanation if they were so inclined, but that is my own limited understanding of the situation. As a lowly writer, I don't know all the stuff goes on in the control center of Necromancer Games. :) [/QUOTE]
