Necromancer Games shutting down next year.(UPDATE post 93)

[PapersAndPaychecks]

Thanks guys, for doing such good work, and enhancing so many gamers' enjoyment.

This bears repeating.

This bears repeating.

Yes, it does... I'm sad about the news, but I'm glad for all the great stuff that NG published!

Phil is absolutely right, the only petition that would make a difference has dead presidents on it.

Tegel will be there too if we can work out its release. If not, then it wont. And, like I said, I am OK with that.

Even if they can't publish it in print, at least release it as a pdf - or am I missing something here?

BTW, I agree with so many others - these guys have made some great stuff which made my games better.

Well that just plain sucks!

Looks like Goodman Games will basically be the last "biggish" company standing in the D20 landscape.

Are there any other bigger companies that I'm missing?

Wow, bad news. I've probably run more Necromancer stuff than any other publishers. Tomb of Abysthor was great.

I already own everything they have released and gotten my local stores to purchase as well. What else do you want me to do?

DM's Day gifts!

Nuts. I was looking forward to Tome of Horrors 4.

In Memorium

Better than that, I would like to see them put their whole catalog (past, present and upcoming) on a Print On Demand site so that their excellent products will be available to consumers in physical form for a long time to come. It costs very little and has no overhead to go that route and would at least allow Clark and Bill to continue receiving some small amount of revenue for their past efforts.

If they'd put ToM1 up on Lulu.com, I'll be the first customer. And price it to make a profit this time!
