[QUOTE="Garnfellow, post: 3373106, member: 1223"] I’ve been following these developments over on the Necromancer boards, so I’m not shocked by the news but certainly saddened by it. When the WW sale was first announced, I had no idea it would have such a disastrous effect on such an excellent company. Necromancer Games ("Third Edition Rules, First Edition Feel") and Green Ronin ("d20 Rules Done Right") have always struck me as the two very best third party sources for d20 fantasy material, companies that have truly embodied their respective taglines. And it bums me out that the market just isn't there for their most excellent products. I own and have used a ton of Necromancer stuff. The Tome of Horrors has probably gotten more use than all my other monster books combined, excluding the MM itself. The boxed Wilderlands set is amazing. Every time I pick it up I walk away with 2 or 3 good adventure ideas. I can easily envision people in the not-too-distant future looking back on the last 7 years as a real golden age of gaming, and pointing to Necromancer specifically as one of the great companies from that era. It's a crying shame that so few people have understood and appreciated just how good we all have had it during this period. [/QUOTE]
