    A shift in lethality. What's fair warning?

    Without knowing your game it is impossible to say if this might work. In the past I have had the party (or just 1-2 PCs) discover the body of someone/thing that they knew was more powerful than them. It tends to set off alarm bells. It is hard to suggest a way to do this without knowing your...

    absent from dealer list at gen con

    Reaper wasn't there last year either. They were in transition moving to a new space and didn't get paperwork in on time (something like that, Ron was around, but no booth). Maybe they couldn't get the space they wanted or something. I know that several companies last year were not happy with...

    So who knows anything about the "Wilderlands"

    Thanks for the complement on CSIO. As for the Wilderlands, the simple answer is that it is whatever you want it to be. The Wilderlands Boxed Set due out in September (or early release at GenCon in August) is a combination of 4 sets of maps and support material put out by Judges Guild years...

    So anyone pick up Eldritch Sorcery?

    Yeah, well, I suppose that is a spell I should have edited more. Unfortunately, when things are clear to you, it gets harder to see where others might be confused about it. Editing can get touchy when someone writes with a different style than yours. As for free action/quick action/swift...

    So anyone pick up Eldritch Sorcery?

    Well, I had some initial doubts about Jolt, but it seemed fine in actual gameplay. You only get the second spell the round you actually cast Jolt, not for every round. Basically, you get to haste the party and cast another spell during that particular round. Useful if your party is surprised or...

    Necromancer Games Forums

    Um, I was out of town. We do check posts whenever we can. Sometimes we miss stuff. Sometimes we are just plain insanely busy. I am looking at our boards in another window right now. Probably can't post for a bit though, it is dinner time. Patrick (one of those other Necro guys)

    Necromancer's Eldritch Sorcery

    I did post more information on the Necromancer Games forums. I guess Varianor already provided a link above. As has been said, this is pretty much just a tightly focused book of spells, spells, spells. Oh, and diaglo probably has me beat, I only have 2 copies of Eldritch Wizardry (Supplement...

    Early War of the Worlds reviews

    Yeah, even crazier if she dumped you for cheating on her ... I'll, uh, stop there. Cruise/Scientology not my favorite things ...

    Advertise in the Poor Gamer's Almanac - It's Simple and Cheap!

    I guess the point I was trying to make is that you are asking someone to download something to decide whether or not to give you money. A lot of people simply aren't going to take that step. Generally, if you want to make a sale you have to go out and convince someone to make a purchase (in your...

    Advertise in the Poor Gamer's Almanac - It's Simple and Cheap!

    Yes, I looked it up, that doesn't mean the people he wants to advertise in his 'zine are going to. You need to have subscription and/or distribution numbers for people to see if you want to sell advertising. Patrick

    Advertise in the Poor Gamer's Almanac - It's Simple and Cheap!

    Don't take this wrong, this is the first time I can recall hearing about this 'zine. I may have seen it in the past and simply not remembered. This is not a slam, just a personal statement. I believe many others are probably in the same position. If you are seeking advertisers I would humbly...

    Copyrights(sp?), Patents, Trademarks, etc....

    I completely agree there. I would suggest studying the SRD, d20 license and all other info you can find to create a list of specific questions to ask. I would also suggest finding a lawyer with a good reputation for giving solid advice. The biggest key is to avoid taking something from a message...

    Eldritch Sorcery by Sword & Sorcery

    Okay, I said I would come back when I posted more info on our forums. Here is a link: http://p096.ezboard.com/fnecromancergamesfrm78.showMessage?topicID=10.topic Thanks, Patrick

    Copyrights(sp?), Patents, Trademarks, etc....

    With all due respect to the people on these boards, consult a lawyer for legal questions. As far as WotC granting permission to use "off limits" creatures not listed in the SRD, they have been VERY good about it. It would seem simplest to just ask them. Just be warned that their response time...

    Eldritch Sorcery by Sword & Sorcery

    Yeah, it should still be released June 27 (or 28 or whatever the WW website says). Mike usually does some sort of preview for us but he has been totally swamped lately. I'll do my best to put more info on the book up at the beginning of this coming week. I am afraid that in addition to the usual...

    Necromancer's Eldritch Sorcery

    Well, it is pretty much just spells, sorry. In response to something I saw somewhere else, main authors are myself, Scott Greene, and David Mannes. Contributing authors include a large number of people from our boards. As far as balance, well, we did our best. Part of "balance" is also going...

    Necromancer's Eldritch Sorcery

    ES, again Just looked at the blurb the first poster linked to. That is old advertising info, we didn't include the PrC guidelines, or any new magic items. We decided to focus on just spells for this one. I'll see if I can get Greenpiece to post the "new" back cover information. Patrick

    Necromancer's Eldritch Sorcery

    Eldtritch Sorcery I'll try to talk more about it on the Necromancer Games forums next week. Was hoping to get some stuff up this week but personal life has taken a front seat lately. The EZboards fiasco hasn't helped either, anything we did have up has disappeared. Basically, this is a book...

    Illegal PDFs

    Sigh ... Ebay tends to isolate themselves by making the seller "responsible." There is a way/place to report it, but at first glance I couldn't find anything easy either. Don't expect WotC to go out of their way to do anything about it quickly, they generally don't move very fast. I would...
