Hello. I was able to procure a copy of Gary Gygax's Necropolis.
I just started reading it and so far so good but Im only like 25 pages in.
Anyway I have 3 questions if anyone could be so kind as to help me.
#1 - Did the book come with a poster map or a map booklet? Since I have a used copy i want to make sure Im not missing one.
#2 - In chapter 2 it says the PC should gain posession of the Account of the Blemmyish Nomnad (which is a free download) and the Overview map. What overview map? Thats the other reason Im worried I may be missing a poster map or a map booklet.
#3 - The extra downloadable material off the Necromancer Games website is the Blemmyish Nomad's account and an adventure called Set's Daughters. Theres no collection of maps to print? Why not?
And last....my PCs are currently in Greyhawk. How do you suggest I get them to Khemit? Some kind of teleport? Any suggestions?
Thanks
Hej Jason!
I bought this at my FLGS some years ago and I don't recall a map booklet, so no, you are not missing out on anything there.
You can download the Blemmyish Account at the necromancergames homepage in the category "product support" as well as two isometric maps for the tomb of Rahotep.
I think you only took a look at "Free Stuff", that's where "Set's Daughters" can be found. ^^
Unfortunately I'm not at all savvy when it comes to Greyhawk (always been more a RL, Planescape, etc. kinda guy), but I bet someone will come up with something.
There are some ideas given in the book, if I recall correctly, though.
Have fun with this epic, I hope I could be of assistance.
Greetings,
Endzeitgeist

In Set's Daughters, Khemit comes to you (or a seaport near you).
It is assumed that there is some trade with Khemit, legal or otherwise, and there's a spot of bother in (say) Hardby which leads to the PCs taking a ship to Khemit to try and sort things out.
How feasible this is for Greyhawk depends on where you are planning to put Khemit. If you stick it somewhere to the south (replacing some or all of that southern jungle, assuming I've remembered the map correctly) then there should be no problem using Set's daughters as the intro.

Nope, definetly no poster map or map booklet

Go to the support page. There are quite a few downloads available. You will have to type in the Password that is on the first page of the Necropolis book.
If that is not avaliable anymore I can send you these donwload. Mail me at tobemore(at)gmx.deAnd last....my PCs are currently in Greyhawk. How do you suggest I get them to Khemit? Some kind of teleport? Any suggestions?
The lure of Gold? Place the Noamd's account together with some treasure and another letter from an explorer, speculating about the riches to be gained there. That will most probably get the PCs down.
If they do not get the idea themselves suggest to them to buy a teleport instead of a 2-3 month trip south.
Where on the map of Osirion would you put Aartuat?
