TODO[edit]

Here's some ideas of things to add to the page, most of them were taken from the NG boards thread about the wiki entry

NG staff and writers and what they do
We could mention that the company has inspired a sizeable online comunity, as well as several sites supporting and developing their products (Dark Loch, Lance's Hawkmoon site).
a section on 'significance' in the industry could include Clark's First Edition Feel article (where is it?)
the fact that Monte wrote the intro for the Tome of Horrors

Heh[edit]

Looks like the hissy-fit that got it set up for deletion wound up instead giving it a whole lot of attention, leading the article to being vastly improved. :)

very true, I was a long time WP lurker but never did any edit nor bother to register an account before seeing that AfD. I'd like to send a warm thank you to that guy. -- Saturnin55 15:13, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. You are welcome.--Cryogenesis 20:20, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Canon?[edit]

I've come to this page several times looking for information on the Tome of Horrors and its legality/canonicity regarding the mainstream of D&D.
According to Jared von Hindman of headinjurytheater.com, "Last time, I mistakenly thought...the Tome of Horror was an official D&D product. It sort of was....only it wasn't. ...here are two monsters from later editions of Tome of Horrors. They're for Dungeons & Dragons, only they're not official. Sort of. The Geeks out there know the score and understand what I'm saying here. Also the Wizard of the Coast lawyers understand it just as well."
I may be a Geek (capitalized, even!), but I don't know the score; does anyone understand the situation? Wizards of the Coast Lawyers, care to explain? Wpell (talk) 13:20, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Many of the monsters in Tome of Horrors were updated to D&D 3rd Ed. from their AD&D 1st Ed. stats in the original Fiend Folio. Since the monsters in question are canon to the official D&D worlds, the book itself may be considered "official" by any fans of those monsters. —MJBurrage^(T•C) 15:19, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Necromancer Games[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Necromancer Games's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "designers":

From Tracy Hickman: Shannon Appelcline (2011). Designers & Dragons. Mongoose Publishing. ISBN 978-1-907702-58-7.
From Fritz Leiber: Shannon Appelcline (2011). Designers & Dragons. Mongoose Publishing. p. 9. ISBN 978-1-907702-58-7.
From D20 System: Appelcline, Shannon (2011). Designers & Dragons. Mongoose Publishing. ISBN 978-1-907702-58-7.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 12:33, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
