Necromancer's City of Brass

[Crothian]

The map book is really cool. I like many of the monsters in that part as well. I have not had the chance to read through it all yet. I have lots to read and no idea what to read first.

I ordered my copy on the 15th and it arrived today! I thumbed through it and all I have to say is...


DAMN those Necro boys know how to make a product!!!!

Sorry Eric's Grandma for the language but in this case- it had to be said.

I have never been disappointed by any Necromancer Games product. One of the best publishers out there.

Jeepers, watch the filth-mouth, A_P, there are children around here that could be influinced by your depravity!!!!!

My girlfriend bought it for me at GenCon (how awesome is she?!?). The GenCon release was the tipping point that actually made me go this year. I haven't yet had a chance yet to dig through it properly, but I can say it's the most impressive boxed set I've seen. That's one solid block of gaming goodness!

Ari,

I for one loved it.

With that as your objective, I think you nailed it perfectly. I always hoped to see you do something similar for Norse and Greek mythology.

(yes everyone - I am aware of R&R Olympus).

Thank you.

And yes, C.A. and I desperately wanted to do exactly that. We even did some preliminary design work on a Mythic Greek setting designed with similar goals. Alas, that was about when the market took a real downturn, and we were never able to find anyone willing to publish it.

Mine's on the way.

Now I have to use it before 4e comes and it crumbles to dust!

I was one of the "bring back the boxed sets" people, back in the day Eric's talking about. Still am. I really love the feeling of discovery when you open a box. It's like Christmas. Plus, I take extra-care with my boxed sets. I did lose some stuff when I was a kid, but no longer.

Joe-- You have time. 12th level party, 4-6 hour game sessions, 1 per week... skip about 6 random weeks worth of gaming due to family/travels/work/holidays and you should JUST about be finished by the time 4ed hits the shelf Mid May. Happy gaming.

Hey, this is my first post here
I'm writing from Paris (I'm French) where City of brass has just hit the store. I love the fact that this is a box set, even if that means a higher price: box set are quite rare nowadays, but open one is like opening a christmas present!

Anyway, I will maybe buy this one, but before spending so many bucks (or euro, for that matter), I would love to see a preview. Unfortunately, the only one I've found is on RPGNow, and there are only a few unreadable pages. Is there any preview available somewhere? A few readeable pages with some illustrations and (ideally) a map from the book map, so I can have an idea of what to expect?

Btw, can someone who buy it give us the page count per book?

Thank you!

Hey Mouseferatu -

Since you're so vocal in your support, can you supply us with some errata at need?

The omission I've found so far (unless it's buried somewhere odd) is that the "Magic Adjustments in the City of Brass" seems to be missing. There's one for the Plane of Molten Skies, but it specifically says the rules are different for the city.
