    Eldritch Sorcery

    Pretty much all of it really. Some names that are Necro names might be reserved as "IP" in the legal but let's face it, if you want to use it, just ask Clark and he'll say yes (okay, if you are writing something totally nasty he might not, but otherwise, he'll probably not only say yes, but tell...

    Eldritch Sorcery

    Eldtritch Sorcery Hi folks, thanks for the interest in ES. The goal for ES was to create a well-mixed set of spells for use in a wide variety of campaigns. As the developer and lead author on this book I certainly don’t make the claim that ALL of the spells in the book should fit into your...

    Palladium?

    er, wow Folks, I am not a Palladium/Rifts fan, nor am I really a fan of KS. At the same time, I am a bit appalled at some of the comments being made here on a board that was, once upon a time, considered a friendly place. While I don't know KS, I know a number of people that have worked with...

    White Wolf hacked

    Necromancer Games and the Judges Guild (.com) websites are hosted on the WW servers. As I understand it, the WW servers got cracked. To the best of my knowledge, DTRPG is a separate company with separate servers and completely different security. The concern is that people use the same...

    Necromancer/White Wolf hacked

    Necromancer Games is not a part of WW but they do take care of all of our fulfillment. We also have a vast amount of information stored on the WW servers. I am not certain, but I am guessing that the Necromancer Games Forums (which were done separately through EZboards and all of those forum...

    TSR paid $1,000,000 for the Dragonlance logo? (New: Response from the authors)

    Well, reading between the lines a bit it sounds more like they spent a million dollars on the advertising campaign (and doesn't specify length of campaign). I find that much easier to believe than for the logo alone. Then, that company is lucky they never presented me with that logo series, it...

    Publishers that don't add indexes--RANT

    Personally, I feel it depends on the book. Generally, I wouldn't expect anything below 64 pages to have an index. Cities, settings, spell compendiums (Just about any "compedium"__I disagree with the post above- I specifically included one in Eldritch Sorcery), and the like should have an index...

    Threshold Canceled?

    Well, never saw invasion at all, okay, not true, saw about 15 minutes of one episode, simply didn't catch me. Started watching Surface and Threshold at the beginning of their run. Had the DVR programmed for them, watched them, etc. Simply didn't keep my interest. Let's be honest, they had...

    Publishers that don't add indexes--RANT

    Well, indices are great, fantastic, useful tools. I agree that many books that don't have them, should. At the same time, publishers really aren't just "jacking with you" when they don't have an index. Many of those that don't try to have a more useful table of contents. There are some reasons...

    [OGC] Necromancer Please Respond

    What do you know? It worked again (twice)!

    Decline of RPG sales

    Add to #3 the fact that when a publisher or someone involved in publishing does post, their posts can get "interpreted" through several rounds so that you don't even recognize what people say you posted ... :)

    [OGC] Necromancer Please Respond

    It would be far more effective to stop by our boards or email Clark Peterson directly. Clark can be contacted for OGC questions at scarkitty at yahoo dot com I am sure that he'll help you with questions when he has the time (he has helped a lot of people with various d20/OGC issues in the...

    No Harry Potter RPG?

    You can find spectacled, dark haired, pale, "don't quite fit in" boys in a wide variety of English stories. I mean, a REALLY wide variety of stories; modern, historical, horror, fantasy (big surprise), future sci-fi, etc. Harry's appearance certainly can't be used to accuse anyone of...

    Decline of RPG sales

    Merric, I hate to say it, but you are seen as a WotC fanboy here. I don't think you are at the level some are making you out to be though. As far as the statements below, Charles is not the only one to make comments like this in public. The RPG market presently has a distribution/retail system...

    Woo-hoo! I hadn't even realized it was out yet...

    Folks, as far as I know (and this is subject to change at any time), Necromancer Games' Kenzer releases are going to be limited print run, print-only books. After they sell out (notice that confidence there?) we might try to get them out as electronic releases but I am sure that would be at...

    Tome of Horrors Revised watermarked PDF now available on drivethrurpg.com

    There won't be a print version of the revision, it just isn't economically feasible. As it is, the time and effort to do a new layout (Mike had to re-do layout for the whole thing) wasn't cheap in terms of time and effort (translates as $). There has definitely been demand for a revised ToH...

    PC spinning out of control

    out of game- make it a rule. Wealth guidelines get blown to absolute hell if you have plenty of PC deaths and PCs loot the bodies. Make an in-game explanation, wills work, promises to send wealth back to families, etc. In-game: lots of ways to help control it. Theft, family coming after them...

    Stupidest things PCs/DMs have done

    Hmmm, okay, the funniest gaming session I have ever had (okay, there are a few others but this is the most recent) was about 2 years ago. The full description would take a lot of space, let's just say "mage on a rope" still brings laughter from that group. Long story as short as possible; the...

    RPGNow welcomes back Fiery Dragon!

    Well, I just can't agree with everything below. I have both Winblows and Macs in my home. The Macs kick the PCs to pieces for most of the things we do at home (okay, I don't play many computer games anymore, what can I say?). I'll leave that there. If Mythusmage has a mac that can't run OS 10...

    Really high level adventures?

    High level adventures are really difficult to deal with. Generally, anything written for them has to be pretty high-powered and still generic. By this level, your own campaign world and character histories are very well-developed. As a writer/designer I can safely say that any high level...
