D&D 5E Now that Necromancer Games is back

[Xantherion]

I have always loved Necromancer Games, Sword and Sorcery, and now Frog God Games. I have various versions of all the Tome of Horror books. I am also getting ready to help Kickstart their new project.

What I would like to know now is, what is the likely possibility of an updated Scarred Lands 5e setting book being done, once the full 5e rules are released.

Thanks for any input and info.

I thought Scarred Lands was Sword & Sorcery Studios. Were they owned by the same company?

Who owns the rights to Scarred Lands these days? Is it Onyx Path or CCP or someone else?

 

[Xantherion]

There are sword and sorcery named products on Frog God Games website. I think they have the rights currently. I hope they do anyway.

Sword and Sorcery Studios was either always 100% owned by White Wolf or they were eventually purchased by them. I can't remember if they were ever spun off or what.

Wait, quick Google search. Onyx Path bought them flat-out.

SSS was always an imprint of White Wolf. It wasn't even really a separate "department," though of course some people only worked (or tended to work) on one or the other. Those properties were indeed among the various lines that Onyx Path bought when WW went to that great gothic alleyway in the sky.

As for future SL plans... We can only hope.

They stated in that press release they planned to, but that was over a year ago. Probably won't know anything until the inevitable reprint Kickstarters happen.

Mostly, after all this time, I just really want the chance to finally do something with the flippin' Autumn King! *sob*

Sword & Sorcery Studios published Necromancer Games products. They are two separate companies. I know that a lot of people conflate the two (especially since Bill and Clark were heavily involved in both The Creature Catalog and Relics and Rituals) but Necromancer Games doesn't have the rights to any Scarred Lands material.

As to who DOES, I'm not clear. It's either Onyx Path or one of the Wieck brothers.

Of course, what we ARE doing is putting out monster book called "Fifth Edition Foes" (that funded!) and a fantastic book of adventures called "Quests of Doom" which will include at least 12 adventures and up to 18 more with the stretch goals. "Quests of Doom" will include updates to the books "Vampires & Liches" and "Demons & Devils".
