This role playing game is based on the game "Necromancer" by
Steve Jackson.
Hello, I am a Necromancer. In my lifetime their have been
great wars between men of power like myself. They are fought
over the possession of the Jewels of Power. Our troops consist
of creatures called Undead. They are the remains of men that we
have raised from the dead. We can raise these creatures and com-
mand them as armies of men might be commanded. There are prob-
lems, however. One of them is that every fifty or sixty years
another stumbles on the ancient secrets of the Jewels. Another
problem brought on by the first is that one of the secrets of the
Jewel's power is the ability to wrest control of another
Necromancer's Undead from him and turn them against him. By the
way my name is Nella. I am the first female Necromancer in
recorded history. Consequently, this has made my position as the
greatest power in this land of broken rock and magical mists much
harder to hold. This is not because I am any less powerful than
my predecessors. It is because rivals seem to show up more
often. Forgive me, I rave. I have hired, recruited and kid-
napped "volunteers" from you out there across the lines of Net-
land. There are four that have survived the indoctrination tech-
niques with their minds whole. They are:
Cromanus (The Man From Another Time)
Sylicanus (The Nine-Fingered)
Doradus (The Lover of Gold)
Sebastian Brown (Candy Man)
It is this group that will face the Demon of the Mists to
secure the Jewels and with them will go some of my Undead. I and
my Apprentices will assist in any way we can. Beware enemy
Wraiths, Zombies and Skeletons in your circuitry.
