Basically, I know that Necromancer Games felt they didn't have the time or manpower to do pdf/electronic releases. DTRPG offered services that allowed this with no effort on the part of NG. NG said yes due to complaints from fans about a few out of print items and fans from overseas that hoped...

Okay, but right now it appears most of the publishers using DRM/DTRPG aren't doing it to "jump on the pdf bandwagon." They are doing it as an added distribution route to areas they can't reach. A lot of these publishers are terrified of electronic publishing and just barely getting their feet...

(I snipped some of your post) Let's remember that some publishers are so afraid of piracy that they don't want to release any electronic products at all. I was rather surprised at the list of companies at DTRPG. If they do start to feel that pdfs are cutting into print sales, you won't see...

You are probably right. At the same time, people then got what they wanted didn't they? Right now I guessing that some people wished they had waited several weeks to see how things would go before even bothering to release anything. I really don't know If DRM goes away tomorrow I won't be...

Actually, if you looked at the rest of my post you would have noticed that I gave some of the reasons that publishers went to a copy protection system for releasing products as pdfs. I personally don't think DRM is a good answer to the problem, at the same time I understand why publishers want...

Wow, so much vitriol it is hard to know what to say. Apparently any publisher that is associated with DTRPG is evil, and, equally apparent, anyone associated with such a publisher is also evil (though in some cases only slightly evil, or just stupid). Here are a few thoughts from an apparently...

Okay, this thread has so many statements in it that are just wrong that it is, well, rather amazing. Last time I checked the sky wasn't falling (although it is raining pretty hard here). I am not going to start debating people's entrenched opinions but I do want to say one thing. NONE of the...

Okay, I intend no insult to anyone when I say this, no publisher I know of is going to look at a post on a message board and say “hey, I’ll publish your work!” You need to find publishers that publish various game systems, worlds, etc. Right now, this is going to mean larger publishers. Smaller...

Hmm, interesting thread. Starting levels that I would suggest depend on the number of PCs 8 PCs, 10th level is probably okay (at least at first) 6 PCs, 12th level 4 PCs, hmm, difficult, as people have said, EL ranges are going to be pretty variable. I'd probably go with 13-14th level for added...

Melan has it. Basically "G" initially stood for "guest" which, at the beginning, meant anyone other than Bill and Clark. We are probably going to be starting with some other letter codes for some upcoming products. If you have any questions about suggested levels for any modules please go...

Um, sorry, the "quest to prevent an evil lord from world domination" as played out in an original travelog is not original. Um, not even close. You can find similar stories from the 12th and 13th centuries, and I am certain that if you find stories based on oral traditions from several cultures...

Unless I am horribly mistaken, the WW warehouse is out of Tome of Horrors. The last copies were bought up in large chunks just recently. A number of copies should still be available as they travel through the various distribution chains. I'd suggest Barnes and Noble, possibly bn.com, and I...

Hmmm, I guess I am getting the wrong thing across. Publishers, especially Necromancer Games and other small companies, do listen to their "customers/consumers" because we like the feedback and want to do our best to make our customers happy. We also HAVE to listen to the people we get our money...

Modules'n'Stuff Okay, I tried to read through most of the thread(s) here before responding. This, of course, has taken away from the time I have to respond. First, while I do write and help with development for Necromancer Games, I want to state that nothing I say here is “official” Necromancer...

To the best of my knowledge CSIO and the Wilderlands Boxed Set are still in production. I like to think I have pretty good information about these ;). We have had production delays with both products due in part to their massive size as well as the 3.5 changes and a variety of other...

ArthurQ, With all respect to the many wonderful denizens of the ENWorld boards, this is NOT the place to look for advice about starting a game store or any other business. If your friend is serious, he/she needs to do TONS of research and have a solid business plan. There are people involved...

Do you mean a notebook computer? Did he actually purchase it through ebay, or did he do one of these wonderful skip ebay bits? If he skipped ebay he is probably simply out his money. If not, ebay should be very helpful about it. In either case, he should contact Ebay about it. If nothing else...

Um, yeah, those that did, often didn't come back. The Wilderlands, is, well, the Wilderlands. It is deadly out there. I don't know the best way to describe it. Several of the descriptions here are quite good. Let's see. Most settings have a beautiful face, you know the outline of the area, the...

Almost everyone that I know of that has dealt with WotC legal about things like this has come away pleased. The only "upsetting" part is the fact that they pretty much all consider WotC "slow" to get these things done. Let's be honest. While a priority for the small publisher, granting...

Well, Depending on when and where, I could probably make the drive from San Antonio. I can probably convince Bill and Clark to provide some Necromancer Games products for prizes or something as well. Mystic Eye Games is based in Austin, so I am sure they'll be willing to cough up a few prizes...
