The Legendary Games train is rolling right along.
We just added Robert Lazzaretti to the team. Woot!
Neil Spicer just turned in his first final manuscript.
Boomer, Jason and I are near complete on our several projects.
Layout templates are coming along.
I'm real hopeful that we will have some solid announcements with products to follow real quick for all of you eager Paizonians!
I can't tell you all how thrilled I am to be supporting Pathfinder and Paizo. I have so much love and respect for everyone at Paizo. And the community here is just amazing.
Keep an eye out for more from us soon.

So is it time to let the next abyssal cat out of the bag yet? :)
Not quite yet :) Maybe as we get closer to PaizoCon.
Don't let that naughty kitty out quite yet, DM...

You guys bring that one home. Can't wait to see what kind of art gets created for that one. In the meantime, I'll be turning my attention back to slaying a few other demons...i.e., there's another deadline on deck. The next one's for Paizo. Time to sharpen the pencil again.
No rest for the talented, eh? ;)
Thank you for the update!

You understand that fiendish feline may or may not be dead, yeah? If you'd like, I could take a peek in the bag and let you know...
Clark - good to see things are moving along. Any possibilities of you and Bill teaming up on projects again?
Never say never. :) Actually, we already sort of are doing that. I'm doing the legal and stuff for the Frog God-distributed Tome that is coming up (which is a Necro product distributed by Frog God).
I'd love to write with Bill again. One thing that happens over time is you move from author to producer and you miss all the great writing. A few of my favorite Necro memories are from early on in the company, working on a smaller product called Demons and Devils. Bill and I wrote that together, truly. It was great. We did that on RA1 and parts of Tomb of Abysthor. But from then on usually either he or I wrote and the other produced or in any event never were both primary authors at the same time again. I miss that. He and I have very compatible thoughts about things.

You do realise all this work your giving to Neil is taking him away from important stuff..like our play by posts..
But seriously I'm waiting with bated breath for the product announcement.
Ooh! Excitement! I get to do a continuity announcement.
The following post, posted (as of the time of posting) under the alias of 'World Weary Edition Warrior' is not to be taken seriously.

Gah, another amateur RPG book publishing company. I miss the days when TSR was in its pomp, with Monte Cook unleashing Modron Madness, the Van Richten's guides were coming out and DiTerlizzi was illustrating the first two Planescape monstrous compendium appendices. After that it was pretty much all downhill, with the Wizards of the Coast take over, those godawful 'Die Vecna, die!' and 'The Apocalypse Stone' modules, and the slow slide towards the current state of play where the market's more fragmented than ever and everyone's either publishing either board-games or pot-boilers.

Oh, wait... No time.
Ahem. And that brings our token 'raining on your parade' commercial break to an end. Having got it out of the way, you can now resume your regular thread with Excitement (TM), Vim (TM) and SUPER-DUPER GOODNESS!!!!!! (TM - now over the top with extra exclamation marks).
Harrumph. Like using 'fire' on a succubus is going to have any effect. Okay, people, clear the thread. Leave the nice normal folk to get on with their speculation about Clark's forthcoming products. Don't invite me to go postal with writs, or it'll get highly lawful.
(edited, tidied up, for true dwarf workmanship)<general shuffling of diverse aliases (that had been queuing up to post) out of thread in various states of disgruntlement and/or relief>
I apologise for the brief threadjack on behalf of dwarvenkind, but these succubi, you know... the fact that they want you to keep an eye on them's so distracting, and sometimes one or two slip away to make mischief, and they bring a friend or two with them.

Huh?

Don't mind Charles, he's just having conversations with himself again.
Yeah, I think that guy failed one to many sanity saves.

Great, now *WE* can hear the voices in his head!!
Whereas I on the other hand practically define unfairness. Plus a great many other things.Fine. Play that game if you like, but I play fair and maintain a few bad apples doesn't mean that the whole barrel's bad.Well it turns out I have post destroying powers too.Oi, just because you're not a succubus, it doesn't mean I'm not keeping an eye on you. Play nice.Huh?*Deleted Post*
(edited, style)
Dear Dread Lord Orcus,
Many congratulations upon your latest venture into the Realm of Mortals. If I might be so bold as to make a request, please take care to beat Mr. Spicer at regular intervals to ensure high productivity, and to menace him with Gulga Cench and Memorymaker if he proves recalcitrant in his work.
I have been requested by my sister-succubus, 'Ask A RPGSupersuccubus' to recommend that Mr. Spicer should be particularly assigned to any spreadsheet-related tasks, given that he fully appreciates their power to bring chaos and confusion.
Are you quite sure that Facebook is sufficiently corrupt and evil a venue for your magnificence? Granted that these mortals don't have anything quite like the Countess Almathrada's Almanac of the Abyss, however, so a demon lord has to make do with whatever may be to hand...
Hoping that you have found this post Helpful.
Yours,
Ask A Succubus.
We have Rob Lazzaretti to handle maps. We should be good in that department :)

Hello Clark,
great to hear that you are "back in business".
I just seem to have missed something: I gleaned that Froggodgames was founded because you weren't able to pay as much attention to Necromancer Games as you did before.
Apparently this changed in the meantime. So why a new company and not just reanimate Necromancer Games? And why not team up with Bill and do all of this work together?
Kr,

Guennarr, this thread should answer your questions.
Edit: This thread has more Legendary Games info, as well.

We are doing different things. He is more focused on retro rules systems. I am less interested in that. I want to support Pathfinder. Bill and I did amazing things together as Necro. But it makes sense for all sorts of reasons to leave Necro as its own entity and for us to do our own thing individually. I think those other threads really answer the "why". Its all good. :)
Legendary Games should release an Epic Level HB for Pathfinder. That'll get everyone's attention (and match the company's name) ^_^I have a sneaking suspicion that Paizo is actually much closer than people think to releasing some version of Epic level rules for PFRPG.
Just a hunch.
Although the soonest such a book could come would be this time next year. I'm sure they will announce Bestiary 3 officially and whatever book is coming early 2012 at PaizoCon.
Just to be clear, Frog God Games wants to support Pathfinder, too. We just happen to also support (and print) Swords and Wizardry.
Tsathogga and Orcus in one thread...maybe they were off a few days about the beginning of the end?

That would be nice.
Clark, is there any chance at all for Pathfinderized edition of Scarred Lands?
While I produced some of that stuff, that content is all SSS/White Wolf content. I don't have the rights to that stuff, unfortunately. There was some great stuff in that setting.

Actually, Jason, Neil, Greg and Boomer and I were just discussing the other day that it might be fun to address some of the need for higher level adventures. (I hope you will agree that is a good set of names to be talking about high level adventures) You never know... We'll see... ;) Maybe not right out of the chute for us, but that is a possibility.

Why not put out an adventure path for levels 20 - 30, designed specifically for Neutral Good Paladins and Evil Psionisists?

Throw in Sean in there as well. Apparently he runs a lot of high-level stuff as well.

I pilfered some of the manuscripts while Big Daddy Orcus was away passing judgement on some silly mortals that came calling. Had to sneak them back before he noticed though. Now I will have to gnaw my tongue off to keep from saying anything before he announces things all official like. :)
Not to mention there is more than just one product coming... of course I can't say how many... yet. :)

And just whose manuscripts were you perusing, exactly, pray tell?
