Adding another course because for some Necromancers, social skills and language issues may cause problems

Social Graces for the Aspiring Necromancer or why one should never use Necrophilia and Mummy in the same sentence

Need Money For Classes? Always wanted to participate in a “sleep” study?
Necromancy and La Patite Mort. Half of study subjects will experience an actual little death, the control group will experience the euphamistic variety.

Need Money For Classes? Sell your blood! Preference given to complete blood type collections.

Need Mummy For Classes? Used mummy for sale. Still in fair condition; linens only slightly dirty. Notes in margins and highlights of important parts. Suitable for higher level classes.

How not to create a death aura.

Quantity Vs. Quality -- An in-depth analysis of the ever-popular "horde of endless minions" versus few (or even just one) supra-powered undead beings, comparing and contrasting their respective pros-and-cons (such as creation and maintenance costs), with the goal of (collectively, as a class) compiling objective criteria for determining which option is better for any given scenario.

Quantity Vs. Quality, Part II -- Available only to graduates of the previous class who achieved a grade of at least 2.75 (out of 4.0). Using the objective criteria from a previous class, determine the appropriate option for each of five randomly-selected historical scenarios. Will culminate in a presentation to the school, wherein student parties will support and defend one of these scenarios from audience criticism.

Thanks for a lot of good ideas, everyone!

I just had my players discover the note posted in the town square. We shared a few laughs, and they figured out that the note probably wasn't posted by actual mages. Then they started thinking about how the magicians' guild would react. The first mage they told about the note bent over double laughing so hard (reaction roll 17). The second didn't (reaction roll considerably lower). The players can soon expect to see the serious faces of robe-wearing, staff-wielding ladies and gentlemen who poke about with Truthspeaker and Mind-Reading emerging from the up-until-now elusive and distant guild.
