Necromancer is a fine example of "write GOOD modules, and they will sell".Few other companies can do it, because they never picked a target market like Necromancer did...Necro reaches out to a certain element of the D&D fanbase with a unified "theme" in thier products and they deliver the goods year in and year out...no other company to my knowledge does or did so..Nearly every other company that was producing adventures either had a problem with the product being too generic/bland/done to death, or too setting specific.Necro succeeds 'cos they basically do one thing and do it VERY well, and then just delve slightly into products that will have crossover appeal to both the established "old school fans", as well as "not old school fans" (Tome of Horrors series mainly..mesopotamia, etc).</blockquote>
