Eldritch Sorcery Well, don't know what Amazon is saying but this is a Necro/SSS/WW product. It is for fantasy/DnD gaming. We have a whole range of spells in the book, some are "revisions" of familiar spells while others are new. We don't expect you to say, "wow, I am going to use ALL of...

reprints As people have said above, this is going to depend on how well the first print run sold/is selling. WotC has done some pretty huge print runs for rules books and monster books, partly to avoid having to reprint. When they do reprint, they generally do incorporate errata, (and usually...

Ch-ch-ch-changes ... Yeah, the challenge is getting the book out. No matter what you do, no matter how many editors, etc. there will be mistakes in the final book and/or things you wish you could changes. My biggest goal is to recognize the mistakes I have made in the past and work to correct...

Traps ... Use twisting tunnels and devious traps as suggested. Perhaps the Kobolds have been mining the area for years and have a huge tribe due to the great wealth and "fungus farms" they have hidden in the deeper caverns. This means they'd have time to build truly devious traps. Think...

Define "campaign." The first session there were 5, 3 wizards, 1 sorc, 1 bard... The next session we had 1 bard (survived) 1 wizard (survived) 1 sorc (new player) 1 fighter 1 cleric 1 rogue 2 months later I moved to Texas (San Antonio), but these guys did pretty well during that time. First...

Well, I hope to see the new issue sometime before everyone starts posting about the next one. Then again, I might receive both issues the same day, that has happened before. I have also received them out of order. I believe 119 came the day before 118, but, then again, that was only a day or so...

Well, actually, we'll be announcing like that more in the future. Most of these have actually been in development for a little while, we just waited to announce until development/layout/sending to the printer/etc. are almost done now. We, um, HATE being wrong on release dates. We still aren't...

I believe it should be a starting level of about 5th-6th depending on the number of PCs. The book is written by Ari Marmell, who should be recognized around these parts ... Patrick

Okay, I'll add a nasty one. My neighbor introduced me to his friend, Dick Agent. Yup, this guy's parent's named their son Richard with a last name like "Agent." Later my neighbor was telling me, "Yeah, but of his three kids (who were there playing when I met him), he named his son 'Special' and...

Release Whoops! I believe Greenie put the wrong release date up. Eldtritch Sorcery should be out in July 2005. It was originally scheduled for October but it got moved up. Patrick

Strong and Healthy As far as I know Kenzer is strong and healthy, I don't know why one would get the idea they aren't. I don't know what their release schedule is, all I know is that we (Necromancer Games) are planning to do a steady number of books through them. I believe that Kenzer is really...

Printing Urgh, leaving the writers screaming (as most of us get paid at the end of the quarter a book is released). As someone else said above, it really depends on the print run, paper, etc. you are going for. I believe the larger the print run, the greater the benefit in going overseas. I...

Printing It depends on the size of the print run, size of the book, how many books you do at once, etc. Right now printing in the US and Canada is actually relatively expensive. Printing in China or elsewhere in the far east requires a much lengthier delay from printing to shelves. You have...

Ugh Well, unless they pull out some special "magic" Jack is dead. I consider him to be one of the best characters (and actors) on the show. I mean, he is actually an agent that supresses his emotions like you'd expect. I still think the writing this year is just terrible. Generally not...

Lost City of Barakus If you can't get it from your local game shop you can try ordering direct from the Troll Lords (this book was done through TLG). I believe we are still running a deal where if you purchase LCoB you receive a couple of adventure modules as a free gift. You should call the...

Hmmm Well, there is clearly going to be some variation in people's experiences. I already see 2 publishers listed here that I have had bad experiences with, and one more that I know has treated a few other people unfairly. I don't know how much help a thread like this is really going to be. In...

Freelancing Hehe, let's not go there. I was just taking care of paperwork for my Taxes this year. This means I went through the old contracts that I am still owed money for. Over the past three years I am owed thousands (in smaller bits) from several different publishers (not just for d20...

Meatgrinders? Okay, I'll try to make a few points here in the few minutes I have. Please keep in mind that as general points these are generalizations and don't apply to ALL modules produced by necro. (1) Despite our "meatgrinder" reputation we do presume some "role-playing" by your PCs. Good...

Gaming Frontiers Yeah, they are gone. Some people are owed quite a bit of $ actually (mutters to self for a while and edits out further comments ...).

Necro vaporware? Yeah, we got overly ambitious on a few things and didn't have a good idea of how big some projects would really be. Sometimes we also schedule releases around particular dates. Wilderlands Boxed Set is in layout now and should be out for GenCon and the present September 2005...
