Whither Necromancer Games?

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

I've been away for a while, and now that I'm back, I'm having a hard time finding any information here (or on the always-up-to-date Necromancer Games site) on what's going on with Necromancer Games.

Will the Pathfinder Tome of Horrors still be coming out this summer? What of their 4E monster book?

They are still waiting for the revised GSL to come out before announcing products & plans.

So nothing until 5E.

No Pathfinder stuff either, though?

Dead and gone, until at least the revised GSL comes out.

I suspect that they might look at Pathfinder if the revised GSL hasn't come out by August of this year, but Clark has been extremely vague on that, so it's only wild speculation.

Which might be never.

I think it is more likely the next couple of months until a decision. With the lead times for publication if a publisher wants something by Gen Con they need to make a call shortly.

Goodman Games and to a lesser extent Troll Lord kind of stole their thunder about three years ago. And they haven't exactly been fighting to get it back.

It seems to me like they were one of the victims of the GSL. This is unfortunate, because I liked their adventure style quite a lot. Their association with Paizo may result in some products seeing the light of day, but if they're not moving to 4E, they won't be of too much use to me. And that's unfortunate, but whacha' gonna' do?

I believe that they are going to wait for the final product and a license from Paizo before deciding on product support for Pathfinder.

Clark is still gung-ho about 4E, so, unfortunately, you'll be satisfied.
