Curtis-
Some of this stuff I cant talk about, like contractual
terms. But suffice it to say that WW and Necromancer
will be doing business for a while. This isnt a one
shot deal.
Right now, everything is focused on "Sword and
Sorcery" pure fantasy stuff--thus the name of the
Sword and Sorcery Studio. The Sword and Sorcery logo
will be on all products (including Necromancer
products) that WW distributes.
I cant speak for WW's plans to expand beyond D&D with
d20, but as far as Necromancer is concerned that is
right where we are staying. We have a pretty focused
product vision and our alliance with WW and Sword and
Sorcery Studio takes advantage of that.
I'd love to say more about future products, but I
think I probably shouldnt.
I'd love to do another hard cover book.
And I agree with you that this is huge. It is going to
be a great help to Necromancer in particular (I won't
deny it) and to d20 in general to have a company like
White Wolf get on board d20. And most importantly to
get on board early and build that initial credibility.
d20 just went from web sites and internet sales to
Barnes and Noble-style commercial viability, if you
see what I am saying. And that presence helps everyone
who is thinking of doing d20 stuff.
Hopefully the WW/Necromancer stuff will be as
well-recieved as the Atlas and Green Ronin products
have been (and as I expect OtherWorld Creation's
Diomin Worldbook will be). Hopefull all of us together
can really get this thing underway.
And to think, all I wanted to do when I started this
company was sell a couple dungeon modules from my web
site. Now here I am paired with White Wolf. What a
trip!
