Its here!
The first of our low print run releases that we wanted to put outis out Family Affair has hit the shelves. Great books, but not big enough to warrant a large run, like our Wilderlands series or our core books (Dead Man's Chest etc.). We are in the adventure business, and we really want to get this stuff out. No real profit in it, but we owe it to our fans (and some of them are rabid!) to keep getting great adventures out there.
I really encourage anyone who wants these (they will go fast) to order fast. Carla Harker is one of the best freelance writers out there (so is Ari, Anthony Pryor, Lance, Mike Proteau, and the rest). Basically, our freelancers have no real outlet in this declining market to do "real" books. These books all have the real-deal stuff too...Ed Bourelle maps, Rick Sardinha covers etc. We did not cheap out on them at all (and Dave may kill me over the art cost).
If these books sell out (I suspect they will, but we need your help letting retailers know about these books...brand confusion is always a problem w/ new team-ups like Dave and us. Heck, when we released Vamps and Liches through TLG, we only sold 450 in the first 3 months. Once people realized it was still us, we sold another 3000.
I have 12 more 64-128 page books in the hopper, awaiting sales results of these books...and you hackmaster fans out there...I am totally willing to post free downloads of conversions for you here and on our site, if you write them!
Our material is not for the faint of heart..players will be killed. Arms will be hacked off. Traps are nasty, and monsters are smart (well, maybe not trolls).
Look forward to feedback. I can be reached at
necromancergames@yahoo.com, and am happy to answer questions. Oh, and one of the books to come is the Mother of all Treasure Tables...I'll say more about that later.
