Morrus, I don't know about other companies, but I know that Necromancer Games is with DTRPG simply because it is the easiest thing possible for NG. DTRPG provides (or at least provided, some have stepped up their services) more services for us than RPGNow or anyone else was able or willing to...

I was guessing that it was going to be a separate entity but this doesn't seem clear from the information provided. If it is separate and pays for its use of bandwith, etc., I don't see how there can be that many complaints. If you ever need to do another fund raiser though, I am not sure how...

Etc.... Okay, I believe I understand the reasons for this whole change, the new store, etc. I do think it raises some questions that should be considered. By stating them, I rather expect to get flamed. So be it. Does the store use server space/bandwith that people helped pay for through...

But ... but... but, there can be only one! Ahem, sorry, back to the normally scheduled thread. Patrick

Well, I recorded them with the DVR. I watched the one that is apparently "first" with my finger on the fast forward button quite a bit. I believe I saw the 2 hour TV movie in somewhere around 45 minutes. I am guessing the second one will take about the same amount of time. I wasn't impressed...

First, what few print cost numbers I am privy to, I am not in a position to release. Such numbers are generally considered private. Only Bill Webb or Clark Peterson can release such information and I am pretty sure they won't. Second, print costs for a combined set would be difficult to break...

Everyone has different experiences. Necromancer Games had terrible luck with Tome of Horrors (1) but this was due to the fact the book was simply so large the bindery couldn't handle it. We did our best to replace faulty books when we could. This significantly hurt the bottom line on Tome, but...

Not once has anyone at Necromancer Games said the maps would be color maps. In fact, we have specifically stated on our boards that they are black and white. I can only guess that the color map in the Player's Guide somehow lead people to believe that these maps would be color too. The cost for...

Couldn't vote on all of them due to knowledge and/or ability to really compare some of them. Here are my winners (though not always my favorite choices).

NG is more focused on creating products than taking care of the "other stuff." This means that Bill and Clark make agreements with other companies to take care of "fulfillment." This means NG's publishing partners assume some of the risk (and profits) and agree to take care of layout, assigning...

Okay, I have several comments for a thread that is probably close to getting closed soon based on some of the posts I have scanned through. First, WotC IS the big kid on the block. They have the best sales, distribution, production values (in terms of printing, printing materials, etc.) and...

I'll try to respond in the time I have. Please forgive bad wording, and the usual typos, spelling, etc. ... The opinions below are mine. I work extensively, though not necessarily exclusively, for Necromancer Games. I don't want people to confuse that fact with the essential fact that the...

Yeah, present rules could probably handle this, particularly if you have lvl 18-20 characters. Wish, miracle, etc. should all be able to accomplish something like this on a "willing" subject, but that is always up to you. I'd probably make them use a miracle and have the god require some sort...

sohei I allow Sohei (without the oriental flavor) as a type of neutral" paladin. They worship a particular god of knowledge in my campaign world and are highly respected (and a bit feared). The only class I ever allowed anyone to multi with was fighter. Didn't have any problems. Nobody has...

Please don't take this wrong, but I think this is a bit early. From a publisher point of view the ability to ship product directly to judges as soon as it is released is, well, not a savings by any stretch of the imagination. It is much more economical to send all of the books being entered in...

TPKs Well, over the years I have had several TPKs or near TPKs. The funniest one, for me, was when the party knew they were going to be meeting a vampire. This was during an earlier edition when elves were 90% resistant to charm. Wisely, the party sends in the elven cleric and ranger. They had...

Tome of Horrors by Necromancer Games is all OGC. It also includes a helpful guide on how to reference it in your Section 15. Um, the text that is. Artwork for most books is almost never OGC. Not really sure that art would be covered by something like the OGL anyway. Patrick

Thanks, but, well, let's just say that it is extremely unlikely this will ever be done again. The printing costs for something like this are insane, and as a campaign setting it doesn't have a huge draw. There are also problems with distribution for a boxed set (boxes get crushed, etc.). Yes...

Considering the number of maps involved, some mistakes did slip in. Some of the other things that were complained about were simply design choices that Clark had to make to reconcile some previous inconsistencies. The maps match the books. Tegel Manor should be located where it is marked...

Actually, I was told that one of the authors (not one of the "bigger" names) had their life threatened by a poster when some things got out of control. Several authors simply got together and said, "this isn't worth it, we won't participate anymore." You have to remember that an author...
