To Loathe And Fear With All Your Heart
Vindication! offers a unique adventure that includes opening vignettes, a wilderness for exploration, a detailed city and a multi-level dungeon setting. The main antagonist elicits a personal grudge from the group and does not care what their classes or alignments are. The module may be started at just about any time in the character's lives, although the dungeon should be only explored when the characters reach 10th-level. Some groups might actually join the avatar's operations. Ample tactical and strategic help for the DM is provided to ensure the ensuing battles are those that the characters never forget... if they live.

January 20, 2004: Here are a few quotes from Monte Cook about our upcoming monster compendium Tome of Horrors II:

"If a role playing game is a gun, then a monster book is the ammunition. If that's the case, then Tome of Horrors is a case of hollow point, explosive shells!"
--Monte Cook

"This book is all about new surprises, like the bloodsuckle, the fear guard, and the thundershrike. Your players won't be expecting these guys. They won't know how these monsters work, what they do, or how to properly fight them. You can use this book to keep your players off balance throughout an entire campaign. There's no better way than throwing them a curve like some of the monsters contained in these pages. Each and every one of these creatures has some aspect to them that will make an encounter different from any other. You'll find yourself coming back to these pages again and again."
--Monte Cook

"A DM can never run out of tricks to poke up his sleeves before the session begins, and that's what each one of the gems in this book really is."
--Monte Cook

Now, does this sound interesting enough? :-)

January 19, 2004: I have just received a cover preview for our upcoming monster book Tome of Horrors II, the sequel to our award-winning Tome of Horrors!

100% compatible with 3.5 rules, Tome of Horrors II contains over 250 never-before-seen monsters, from the arcanaplasm and the crucifixion spirit to the dreaded encephalon gorger and the extraplanar race of pain merchants known as the N'gathau. But what would a Necromancer Games product be without new demons and devils, including the flesh-rending shedim, the hulking chaaor, ever-shifting ooze demon, and a few fiendish entities that have never before seen print. And like the original Tome of Horrors, Tome II is 100% Open Game Content!

Please visit our Upcoming Products Page for more information on Tome of Horrors II.

January 18, 2004: Erik Mona of Dungeon/Polyhedron featured the Player's Guide to the Wilderlands in a two page article in the most recent Polyhedron section of Dungeon magazine.

Erik loves the setting and the product. Here are a few quotes:

"...manages to perfectly fit the spirit of the game's earliest days, providing a glimpse into a fantastic world of high adventure that's a little bit grittier while at the same time a lot more imaginative that many modern campaign settings."

"The book speaks seductively to those of us who like our fantasy in the vein of Robert Howard and Jack Vance, urging us to cast aside the glossy, full color setting books we've grown to love and engage in a torrid affair with one of the oldest settings known to gaming."

"The book itself is heavy on history but light on modern detail. It's probably most similar to WotC's Living Greyhawk Gazeteer, in that the focus is on story over rules, so a player of 1st Edition D&D might find the book every bit as useful as the greenest 3rd Edition newbie."

"...a really great setting."

All from Erik Mona!
