Necromancer's City of Brass

[TerraDave]

Someone actually have this long rumored box set? Any thing you would like to share?

Please.

I just ordered it from Amazon. I hope it's as good as the hype, and worth all the long delays. I normally dig Necromancer products, but they've been few and far between lately.

I still wish this had been a hardback or two.

I am really looking forward to this. There's no reason Necromancer should be able to fulfill my own person vision of what the Fabled City of Brass should be like, but I can't wait to see something really meaty that I can sink my teeth into and customize to suit.

Yeah, but by going with a boxed set, they can charge double the price. And presumably sell 2 copies when your first one gets ruined (becaues that's pretty much the fate of all boxed sets that get used a lot. Even sitting on a shelf can be dangerous to them).

Just be glad they didn't make it a limited edition and jack up the price another $10-20...

I wish it worked that way. Boxed sets cost a lot more than hardbacks to print/publish. The extra cost associated with a boxed set is not profit.

It's profit for somebody

I was just at my FLGS and they had it on the shelf (as well as Monte Cook's WoD.) While I didn't buy it (being recently unemployed), it was very heavy and definitely seemed like it would be worth the $70.

In fact, it was heavier than Monte Cook's World of Darkness hardcover.

Profit that doesn't benefit either me, or my direct employer, doesn't count.

But okay, I'll clarify. It's not profit for the publisher.

I love Necromancer's products, but sometimes its a little hard to get information about them before you buy. And with a price tag this high, I would really like to know the TOC, format details, etc.

Am I missing it somewhere?
