[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 3372378, member: 10177"] Lower sales is definitely a part of it. However they were never looking to be a big profit maker. This was done as a "hobby" for them so their money making goals were just to make enough to pay everyone and to show enough to keep their wives off their backs about the time they spent doing it. The "back breaker" is two fold. WW selling out and cancelling their partnership with Necromancer. The second fold is that Kenzer has failed to get the modules out and visible to the general consumer, along with their own product lines. I don't know why that is, and I love the Kalamar line, I even own a lot of the books and the awesome DM Screen (4 copies of that baby!). All I know is that Kenzer has had low visibility in gaming stores across the country for the last 3/4/5 years. So when I heard of Necro partnering with Kenzer I was afraid it was going to be a bad move. Then WW was bought. Like Clark says, though, if your going to go out you may as well do it while your still in good shape and on your own terms. So yes, I am seriously bummed about this. I can only hope that something happens to keep them around before they actually close their doors. They have been my kind of company and published my kind of adventures. How can anyone not miss something like that? At least we have 8 more products from Kenzer, plus the GenCon releases, and hopefully Tegal Manor, before the end will actually be here. Plus my daughters art work will be in 4 of those 8. Its going to be a bitter sweet year for me. [/QUOTE]
