Necromancer Games: Appropriately Undead

In the last few months, Necromancer Games—purveyors of hardcore nostalgic d20 adventures and creators of the Tome of Horrors bestiaries—has had some rough times with cash flow, distribution, and all the other issues that make d20 publishing so perilous. A few weeks back, there was even unoffical word that they were closing up shop, then that the weren't, then who knows, but things seemed grim.

Then this yesterday...

March 28, 2007 (BELLEVUE, Wash.) – Paizo Publishing, LLC and Necromancer Games, Inc. have agreed in principle to partner in the creation of future Necromancer Games releases. The two hobby gaming companies have signed a letter of intent to team up in the publication of Tegel Manor, a revised classic Judge's Guild adventure module, and other Necromancer releases.

"I can't tell you how excited we are to be working with Erik Mona, Lisa Stevens, James Jacobs and the people at Paizo," says Clark Peterson, President of Necromancer Games. "I feel like a paladin that just found a holy sword. It is a perfect fit for us."

Awww, I love to hear about happy endings for good necrophiles—er... that's not right. Anyway, congrats to the folks at Necromancer, life is always better the second time around! You can read the full press release either on the Paizo site or on Necomancer's page.
