D&D 5E Necromancer Games - 3 5E books announced!

[Mythmere1]

Will these products be available separately after the KS? I have no need for the monster or spell book, but I am always up FGU adventure material. Also will the adventure book be referencing material from the spell book and monster book?

Question 1, definitely yes. They will cost more, in that the shipping won't be free.
Question 2, I don't know for sure. I think it's a good bet that a couple of adventures will include monsters from the monster book, but since the adventures aren't written yet, it's not possible to give a firm answer to the question. As to the spells, on the other hand, I'm betting that not many of them are in the adventure book. Again, I could be wrong, but the authors we're working with are more likely to invent a spell than look through a book to see if one already exists. After all, we're talking about Ed Greenwood here.

Thanks for the FYI, Matt.

Will you be writing any of the adventures?

One of them, yes. I'm currently powering through the remainder of Cyclopean Deeps to clear the decks.

 

[JeffB]

Excellent. Looking forward to it.

Holy crap! Before the MM and DMG, even? How can I (as a potential customer) be assured that these will actually be compatible and not game-breaking? Wouldn't it be better to release this a few months after the game is complete?

Followup question: Will there be revised versions later to account for possible inconsistencies?

Ninja edit question: Will 5th Edition Foes have all the Tome of Horrors monsters needed for Rappan Athuk?

 

[Lord Blackstone]

I am in as well. Necromancer Game has been a go to publisher for me in the past for me. Bring it on.

 

[ShinHakkaider]

Im not in on this Kickstarter but I really hope that it does get funded.

I hope that Necromancer doesnt get bit with 5E like they did with 4E.
Third party support for D&D is a good thing and I hope that it continues.

As long as it doesnt affect any Pathfinder releases, more power to them in supporting 5E.

Thanks for the well-wishing, ShinHakkaider!

Okay, I'm not sure what this means.
Can anyone explain me if this is good for the new D&D edition and/or Wotc?

Whether it's good for the new edition depends on whether or not these books are any good.

Whether it's good for WotC depends on whether or not they embrace the OGL (and allow these books to be printed with the D&D logo on the cover).
