Whatever happened to Necromancer Games?

Clark followed in the fine tradition of Gygax and spent all his money on hookers and blow

No, the real problem is that WoTC needs to stop focusing on crunch material and start focusing on settings and modules. Less crunch = less reliance on the DDI and more people.... playing and talking about the World of Dungeons and Dragons as opposed to the latest build.

We're beginning to see this from Wizards. They're testing the waters with the races books and the location books. Hammerfast is really good, and I hope it's a success.

Cheers!

To me, The Plane Below and MotPs were both very crunch light books meant primarily for DMs that really flesh out the world of DnD.

Underdark had brilliant concepts in it as well. It's interesting - are DMs getting more of the non-crunch stuff? What can you really do for players in terms of non-crunch?

Cheers!

Its not about 4E, its about the changes Gen Con made in pay policies, etc... that they announced last Gen Con. Many small vendors were very upset and very unsure if they would be back again this year.

Can anyone elaborate on this a little more. This announcement slipped completely by me. Did someone bring it up on the boards?

I think that sources like the Races books (Dragonborn, Tiefling, etc.) fill that niche.

Adequately? Perhaps.

They come with a lot of Default Setting information and some crunch specific to the race. They are a little light, but at the price point, I think they are a good value. However, they are coming at such a slow pace that I don't know if they can work. Specially with the large amount of races.

Not to derail the derailment but Necromancer Games is going to be announcing a new release soon. Please stand by.

Something other than Slumbering Tsar?
