Frog God Games Aaquires Necromancer Games

Online, June 10, 2012 (Newswire.com) - FROG GOD GAMES, the makers of roleplaying games and books, today announced that they are acquiring Necromancer Games, the award-winning publishing house known for Necropolis, Rappan Athuk, City of Brass, Tomb of Abysthor, Crucible of Freya, Tome of Horrors, and many other famous titles.

The purchase of Necromancer Games considerably increases Frog God Games' influence in the tabletop gaming industry. "The merging of the companies made sense," said Bill Webb, CEO of Frog God Games. "As primary developer of the Necromancer line of products, I created Frog God Games with the same aesthetics and design principles in mind. We are all about capturing that hard-edged Retro feel in both our Pathfinder Roleplaying Games and our Swords & Wizardry product lines." The acquisition will provide Frog God Games with the use of Necromancer Games extensive intellectual property, allowing re-imagination and expansion of existing work, as well as new products under both labels. Frog God Games will maintain a separate product line of Necromancer Games products, which so far has included the Tome of Horrors Complete and will soon include Rappan Athuk.

Frog God Games will re-animate several of Necromancer Games' products in the future to provide its customers with revised and expanded products for a variety of tabletop editions. "The integration of both companies will take place over the next few months. Our customers will continue to receive the same high quality books which they have come to expect" stated Webb.

Necromancer Games, which will continue to operate under that name, is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Frog God Games. The company has not published new material since 2007, although it produced nearly 100 titles from 1999-2007. The Company's other founder, Clark Peterson will remain involved in an advisory capacity, and will continue to contribute to the company's success.
