Judges Guild and Necromancer Games to Publish Tegel Manor D20

September 3, 2004 (DECATUR, IL): Judges Guild, developers of the classic Wilderlands of High Fantasy™ and City State of the Invincible Overlord™ role-playing campaign settings, is pleased to announce that it will once again publish Tegel Manor™, a classic Wilderlands adventure module, in conjunction with Necromancer Games. Judges Guild President Robert Bledsaw recently reached an agreement with the former holder of the property, Lou Zocchi, for the return of the copyright to Judges Guild.
"I’m pleased as punch to have the rights back to Tegel Manor," said Bledsaw. "Lou and I were able to finally come to a mutually satisfactory agreement for the return of the copyright. It was great to be able to work with my old friend. Along with the release of Caverns of Thracia™ and the impending release of the new City State of the Invincible Overlord™, 2004 is turning out to be a banner year for Judges Guild and Necromancer Games."

Tegel Manor™, originally published in 1977, was the first published fantasy adventure module to deal with the haunted house format. It has entered adventure game legend as one of the classic adventures of the early days of gaming. Set in the Wilderlands of High Fantasy™, Tegel Manor™ reflects the adventure game style of the late ’70s and early ’80s - making Necromancer Games, with its "Third Edition Rules, First Edition Feel" the perfect match as a publisher.

"Tegel Manor is one of the classic modules, and I’m proud we’re working with Judges Guild to release it for a new generation of gamers," said Clark Peterson, President of Necromancer Games. "With the release of Caverns of Thracia™, Treasure Vaults of Lindoran™, and now Tegel Manor™, we will be well on the way to re-releasing the best adventure modules ever written."

Tegel Manor™, revamped for use with the revised third edition of everyone’s favorite roleplaying game, is slated for release in late 2005.
