Necromancer to Publish Tome of Horrors!

Necromancer Games to Publish the Tome of Horrors-a Compendium of New Monsters and Creatures Converted from First Edition to Third Edition!

LAS VEGAS, Nevada-April 26, 2002: Discussions with Wizards of the Coast having now been completed, Necromancer Games, Inc., formally announced today its decision to publish the Tome of Horrors, a compendium of over 400 creatures, most of which are converted from old First Edition monsters, using the d20 and Open Game Licenses under the Necromancer Games and Sword and Sorcery Imprint.

"I think we all felt a little disappointment when we opened the Third Edition Monster Manual to look for our favorite monster and couldn't find it," says Clark Peterson, President of Necromancer Games. "Where was the aerial servant, boalisk or the skeletal warrior? What happened to the mobat, piercer or rot grub? What about the lurker above, dracolisk or the shadow demon? And where were the Demon Lords and Arch Devils? These are all staples of my campaign-and I suspect everyone else's as well-yet we don't have them for Third Edition." According to Peterson, the Tome of Horrors provides those monsters and much more, all converted from their original sources and fully formatted for the Third Edition rules.

To read the rest of the press release go to the News page.

April 25: Tower Chaos, the third installment in the Maze of Zayene series by noted fantasy author Rob Kuntz, went off to the printer today and should be on store shelves by the end of June! Tower Chaos details King Ovar's tower and provides clues regarding the real plans of the evil court wizard Zayene! It features a unique system of tables for handling enounters within an occupied tower. Click on the cover image below for more details!

Click here for a larger preview of the cover.

April 24: PDFs are now available in the Product Support section of our site for Tomb of Abysthor. Each map from the module is on its own page in full page format to allow DMs to annotate the maps withhout having to tear apart or write on the module! Go check them out here!

April 22: Both Tomb of Abysthor and What Evil Lurks are on store shelves near you! They debuted at GAMA and are now available for your campaign. For more details, see our Products page!

April 19: Rappan Athuk 3--The Lower Levels is now back from the printer and should be on store shelves in two weeks. This module is the third and final installment in our popular Rappan Athuk series, detailing the final levels of the world's most famous and feared dungeon. Orcus awaits!"

OK, the post about Tomb of Abysthor being recalled was a gag. A little April Fools fun from the folks at Necromancer. If you didnt see the gag post, you can find it here.

In fact, Tomb is on store shelves now! It is 96 pages of juicy dungeon goodness. For $11.95, it cant be beat! Designed for 4 to 6 characters of 2nd through 8th level, the Tomb of Abysthor details a lost valley, several abandoned shrines to Muir, the goddess of paladins, and the now desecrated burial halls once sacred to her. The module describes all 9 dungeon levels in addition to the wilderness areas and the shrines. Many new monsters, including a new monster race, new magic items and new spells and cleric domains make this module much more than an adventure--it is a mini-campaign designed to take characters from 2nd level to 8th level or higher!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

April 1: Stunned citizens of Bard's Gate awoke to see a dusty and somewhat beaten Abysthor--the long missing and presumed dead cleric of Thyr--stroll through the northern gate.

"I got caught in the dungeon for a while. Lots of evil there. But dont worry everyone, I took care of it all, Praise Thyr" said a weary Abysthor. "Everything is back to normal. Rumors of my death were greatly exaggerated," Abysthor explained to a growing congregation.

As a result, Necromancer Games has recalled all copies of the dungeon module The Tomb of Abysthor.

Asked about the recall, Clark Peterson, President of Necromancer Games, explained "Well, there isnt really much point in releasing the dungeon module now. Abysthor claims--and we confirmed it--that he has wiped out all the evil in the dungeon. There's nothing left for players to do. I don't really see any point in putting out a module that doesnt contain any monsters to kill or evil temples to destroy. Thats not much fun."

Peterson explained further: "Abythor also told me he took his old pal Helman the rogue to the dungeon and he disabled all the traps--even the magical ones. We sent in a group of old school 1E halfling thieves and he's right...the place is clean. No treasure either. We dont have any choice. We are recalling the module."

There is some hope. Peterson explained: "Luckily for those who preordered the module before Abythor cleaned out the dungeon, your copies will contain tons of bad guys and traps. So I guess there is a silver lining to every cloud."

Peterson offered the following advice to disappointed delvers: "Hey, there's always Rappan Athuk!"

Necromancer Games to Publish Grimtooth's Traps for Third Edition

For Immediate Distribution:

Press Release: Necromancer Games to Publish Grimtooth's Traps Returns!

October 10, 2001-Las Vegas, NV: Necromancer Games, Inc., announced today that it has reached an agreement with Flying Buffalo, Inc., to license the Grimtooth's Traps property and will be publishing a hardcover book containing a selection of material from the famous line of Grimtooth Traps products. The hardcover book to be released by Necromancer Games tentatively titled The Wurst of Grimtooth's Traps is scheduled for release in May of 2002 and will be published under the Sword and Sorcery logo using the Open Game and d20 Licenses. The Necromancer Games release will spearhead reprint by Flying Buffalo of all the Grimtooth's Traps products.

"With the release of the new edition of the rules, we have been looking for a way to re-launch the Grimtooth series of products and we believe we have found the perfect situation with Necromancer Games," said Rick Loomis, President of Flying Buffalo. When questioned about the Necromancer product, Grimtooth the well known troll commented, "Hey, they offered me gold, what can I say? Besides, I get to punish anyone from Necromancer who does something I don't like!" Grimtooth can be reached by email at grimtooth@evil.com.

"Our slogan is 'Third Edition Rules, First Edition Feel,' and it is a great privilege for us here at Necromancer to bring content from Grimtooth's Traps-a staple of First Edition play-to the Third Edition game table," said Clark Peterson, President of Necromancer Games. "The devious evil of the traps and the lighthearted presentation of the character of Grimtooth were a perfect fit for Necromancer Games," Peterson said, looking over his shoulder to make sure Grimtooth wasn't around.

The Wurst of Grimtooth's Traps, a hardcover book planned to run 224 pages, will include selections of the devious traps detailed in the seven Grimtooth's Traps products. "The book won't just be a reprint. We are taking our favorite traps and updating them for the Third Edition rules," says Peterson. The book will also contain a number of trap and rogue related items of equipment and magic items as well as new prestige classes, skills and feats related to traps and trap creation. Capping off the product will be a revision and reinterpretation of the famed Dungeon of Doom, a treacherous trap-filled dungeon built to challenge the most skilled characters and using many of the traps and items detailed in the book itself, redesigned by the Necromancer Games team. Steve Crompton, the original artist for the Grimtooth series, is slated to provide art for the new book.

Following Necromancer Games' release of The Wurst of Grimtooth's Traps, Flying Buffalo is slated to begin releasing reprints of the classic Grimtooth books: "The Necromancer guys have their favorite stuff, and have added a lot of great new content, but with the reprints you can get all the Grimtooth content in the way it was originally presented," says Loomis. Each reprint will also contain an appendix converting the material to the current version of the world's most popular fantasy roleplaying game. The Grimtooth line includes Grimtooth's Traps, Grimtooth's Traps Too, Grimtooth's Traps Fore, Grimtooth's Traps Ate, Grimtooth's Traps Lite, Grimtooth's Traps Bazaar and the Dungeon of Doom.

Look for it at your local game store as well as in any of the national book chains. Visit our Rob Kuntz (link disabled) page on this site for more information!"

September 11: Bill Webb and I are in the business of making games where fictional characters overcome fictional danger and fictional evil to become fictional heroes. But those fictional heroes pale in comparison to real heroes--police officers, fire fighters, rescue crews, friends, family and medical personnel--who risked their real lives in the face of this very real danger and evil. On behalf of Necromancer Games, Bill and I wish to thank those real heroes and to express our heartfelt condolences and sympathy to the families, loved ones and friends of the victims of this deplorable terrorist attack.

We are accepting submissions (completed manuscripts only) from new writers as well as established authors.

The early fan opinions are in:

Both Rappan Athuk and the Crucible of Freya are products on the level of the original Ravenloft module, which I consider to be the best 1st ed. product ever produced. Please keep up the good work and your superb support of your games and I will be a life long customer.

--Austin Diaz

Just want you to know I loved Rappan Athuk and am looking forward to the rest of the 'R' series.

--Shawn

January 11: Wow. A dedicated Necromancer Games fan sent in this little gem--a summary of the history of Orcus, drawn from all sorts of First and Second Edition sources. Even though we don't feel bound by the "Second Edition" Canon material, we couldn't resist sharing. Check out Shane O'Connor's Brief History of Orcus here.

December 18:

Another thing you will notice is our new Necromancer Games logo. We thought long and hard about what our logo should be and there was really only one choice. Our motto is "Third Edition Rules, First Edition Feel," and nothing is more "First Edition" than the demon princes. So, without further ado, please welcome Orcus, "the official mascot of Necromancer Games." Who else could it be, really? Click on him to see a larger version. Drawn by John Masse.

Crucible of Freya at Stores Near You and Fans Love It!

January 29:

Crucible of Freya has been out for a little while now and the feedback has been overwhelming. It looks like the "wow"s have it. Here is a sample: Wow! That's all I have to say. Wow! For most of my DMing career I've been put off by published adventures. Let me say that you all have restored my faith in supplemental gaming material. --Lucias Meyer I just finished reading through the module and I must say "wow". It's been a long time since I've purchased a module that I could run without adding more detail to it (I'm picky like that), but I don't need to change anything in this. --Chris Curtis I just got the Crucible of Freya and my only complaint is I want MORE! Great job guys! I can't wait to see what else you've got up your sleeves! --Steve Vogel As a humble testament to the quality of this magnificent adventure, my roleplaying group insisted on gathering 4 nights in a row so as to play out the adventure, because none of my players could wait for our next regular weekly session to get back into it. --Robert Baker First, I just want to say how incredible your products are. I downloaded The Wizard's Amulet, and was so totally blown away by the quality of it! I immediately went out and bought the Crucible of Freya. Thank you for restoring my faith in 3rd Edition rules, and D&D as a whole. --Shane O'Connor You guys are easily the early leaders of the d20 pack. You have an obvious grasp of what makes good gaming material. I haven't felt for gaming products in a long time. Good for you. --Scott Nolan We agree! You can download The Wizard's Amulet free from a link further down the page. You can order Crucible of Freya online by clicking on the cover image at right.

October 10: The Creature Collection is out and the reviews are overwhelmingly positive!

Clinton Nixon had this to say:

I've heard the Creature Collection referred to as the "Fiend Folio" of 3rd Edition, and it looks like that's an accurate title. This source book is a worthy addition to your D20 collection, and will provide GMs much amusement, and provide players plenty of reasons to tear their hair out.

Read his full review here.

Maggie Vinning from the e-zine AtFantasy had this to say:

The new Creature Collection from Sword and Sorcery Studios should be a reading requirement for any self-respecting DM.

For Immediate Distribution:

October 9, 2001-Las Vegas, NV: Necromancer Games announced today that it has resurrected the famous adventure Necropolis, originally written by Gary Gygax. Set in a far off desert kingdom, Necropolis is both a campaign source book and a detailed and lengthy adventure for characters of 10th to 18th level. The hardcover adventure is scheduled for release in July of 2002 and will be published under the Sword and Sorcery logo using the Open Game and d20 Licenses.

"Adding a product by Gary Gygax really helps us realize our slogan of 'Third Edition Rules, First Edition Feel,'" says Clark Peterson, President of Necromancer Games. Necropolis, which had a very limited initial release over 10 years ago, is being revamped by the Necromancer Games design team. "We don't do reprints. This is a wholesale revision of an amazing product with the blessing and input of Gary Gygax himself. Hard core gamers have probably heard about this product but never seen it. We are pleased to bring this cult classic to the Third Edition game."

Necropolis is a sweeping sourcebook for a massive high level campaign set in the southern desert kingdoms. "Imagine a huge desert wilderness adventure culminating in the Tomb of Horrors on crack-that about describes Necropolis," said Bill Webb of Necromancer Games. "Plus the adventure provides an incredible amount of detail on the culture and religion of an entire ancient desert civilization," says Webb. The 224 page hardcover adventure and sourcebook details a campaign where the players interact with the very gods themselves. New magic items and monsters, new gods and spells fill this sourcebook. Devious traps, wicked opponents and interesting NPCs populate the villages, temples and dungeons contained in the adventure, which details hundreds of miles of an ancient desert kingdom.

Join the Caravan of Serai, visit the Village of Aartuat, defeat the demon crocodile, brave the bandit hordes of the Desert Roads and the Bloody Moon, pass the Pylon of Duat, seek the Temple of Osiris and the secrets held within, explore the Gorge of Osiris where the Necropolis awaits and loot the ancient tomb of Set-Ra-Hotep!

"If you are looking for the coolest and biggest high level campaign ever, this is it," says Webb. "You have never seen anything like Necropolis."

May 20: Long ago, Rob Kuntz created a tournament module for use with a planned series of RPGA modules based on the City of Brass. We have that old classic, hard to find tournament module, entitled To The City of Brass, here! Go to the Rob Kuntz (LINK currently inactive) page to download it in PDF form for free along with a newly-discovered wilderness map that Rob created way back in the day. More free stuff from Necromancer Games!

May 19: Befitting his status as a major player in the development of fantasy roleplaying, Necromancer Games has created a page specifically for Rob Kuntz's products. The page includes product descriptions, freebies, teasers, excerpts of upcoming projects, scans of old art, covers of original and collectible modules that are now long out of print and other goodies relating to Rob. So if you are jonesing for real classic old school fantasy roleplaying, that's the page for you.

See if you can find it before Orcus finds you...[check the Orcus logo to the left]

January 11:
Crucible of Freya is drawing rave reviews!

It easily ranks among the best D&D modules of all time and serves as an excellent campaign starter.

--Jesse Dean, AtFantasy.com. Read the full review here.

This is the best low-level D&D dventure out there right now, and I recommend it highly.

The module has 48 pages, of which 46 is real adventure content...This is the best value for your money out there for a d20 intro module by far.

--James Landry, RPGNet.com. Read the full review here.

And look down below for some customer comments.

Clark Peterson and Bill Webb, the writers behind Necromancer Games, were recently interviewed by Role-Play News, a prominent on line roleplaying magazine. Here is an excerpt:

Role-Play News: How do expect to accomplish that "1st Edition Feel" with your adventures?

Clark: First Edition is the cover of the old DMG with the City of Brass; it is Judges Guild; it is Type IV demons not Tanaari and Baatezu; it is the Vault of the Drow not Drizzt Do'urden; it is the Tomb of Horrors not the Ruins of Myth Drannor; it is orcs not ogrillons; it is mind flayers not Ilithids (or however they spell it); it is Tolkien, Moorcock, Howard and Lieber, not Eddings, Hickman, Jordan and Salavatore; it is definitely Orcus and the demon-princes and not the Blood War; it is Mordenkainen's Faithful Hound not Elminster's Evasion; and it is Artifacts and Relics from the old DMG (with all the cool descriptions).

I always say we want to be the VW Bug of roleplaying companies, meaning that we want to have a modern style and appeal but an obvious link to the past. One of the ways we do that is how we design the modules. For example, we use full color covers (not that funky mono-color of the old modules). But our modules have the same basic format of the old modules—inset art, module number in the upper left corner, diagonal band in the upper left corner, logo placement, etc. I guarantee you, when you look at one of our modules you will flash back to the old ones—just like when you see a new VW bug. And hopefully you will say "Man, that is just like an old module except cooler."

Role-Play News: How important do you think D20 will become in the RPG industry?

Bill: We believe that the D20 license is the best thing that has happened to gaming in years. WotC should be commended for providing an open format for folks like us to get material out to other people. This should be a win-win situation for all, and I wholeheartedly believe that the growth in numbers of gamers will make WotC richer, and will provide intellectual growth from sharing of ideas that was formerly relegated to only a few. I think that the d20 program will provide a unique opportunity to see some really great things in the role-playing industry, as a more diverse set of writers can now be heard from.
