[QUOTE="SavageRobby, post: 3863315, member: 51573"] I think its worth it, but I don't mind paying for (good) digital content. I think the only reason they didn't do a hardback of the setting is because its such a niche product. But I also think they've talked about doing one, since its been received so well (but don't quote me on that - I could easily be misremembering). The Player's Guide PDF (which is $7.95, and provides a license for you to print it out as many copies as you need, specifically to give to your players) is 54 pages, and contains exactly what you're talking about. Here is a link at the SW store: [url]http://www.smithandrobards.com/product_info.php?cPath=2_16_9&products_id=21[/url] For reference, the full Necropolis PDF is 150 pages. The Player's Guide is the first 54 pages of that, which is how PegInc has traditionally divided their product. I'm a big fan of the way they do that, and often buy PDFs of Player's Guides before I buy the product proper (hardback or PDF). In fact, you might very well consider getting the Player's Guide first, and see if you like it, before splurging for the whole thing. (I don't believe the full product comes with the same printing license that the PG does - the full product has a license for personal use, whereas the PG explicitly permits copies for your players.) While most of the information is about the Church, there is a good 15 page section on Corporations, the lifestyle, media, military, different corporations, equipment, etc. There is a also a section called "Dangerous Secrets" that contains all kinds of secrets, including ones involving the corporations. And there were murmurings on the SW board last I read (which was awhile ago) about more Necropolis releases that would contain more information about Corporations, as well other facets of life on Salus. No Savage setting is black and white. :D Necropolis is no exception. Sure, the big battle is against the undead ... but that isn't the only battle going on. Church orders vs. church orders, Church vs. Corporations, Corp vs. Corp, and don't forget the ever-present Media spicing up life ... in all, there is plenty of non-Undead-centered-intrigue to be had in addition to the purely martial themes and scenarios.
