mbassoc2003 wrote in LotFP:Just watched a Raggi interview in which he states that The Random Esoteric Creature Generator was the first published item.As I recall, RECG shipped along with FFV. I think they were a sweetener for those who had already early to buy LotFP, but he lists FFV and RECG as 2008 publication and LotFP as 2010.That time gap seems a fair bit longer than I recall, and based on the numbering of the copies I received, I was in early doors. So maybe the publication dates are wrong on the spreadsheet in Google Docs.
These will be going for 50€, shipping included. But you guys have beenwaiting and waiting and I did commit to sending you all my releasesuntil Insect Shrine comes out, but at this point it's getting expensive.So here are three options on how to handle this.A: You'll take a copy of the LotFP Weird Fantasy Role-Playing box set, 1per copy of Insect Shrine you pre-ordered. Accepting this option willmean you agree that my commitment to you has been met through thisalternate product.B: You're still really wanting to wait for Insect Shrine. I intend tohave it out in the fall... Really, this time. Picking this option meansyou agree to forego and freebies from now until Insect Shrine comes out.C: You're sick of all this and just want a refund. I'll refund 12€ percopy you pre-ordered so you're not even out any Paypal charges on thedeal.Let me know which option you choose, and if you choose Option A, I needa current mailing address. These will start mailing out July 26.

mbassoc2003 wrote in LotFP:So what happened?People will always buy good production quality if they perceive value. Did the buyers move away from the heavy metal horror and the weird gothic noir?A lot of the independent writers and artists seem to still be involved in independent or small collaborative projects, but I suppose those have smaller print runs and far less revenue is generated.
'allo!Most receiving this email are Insect Shrine pre-orderers, but a coupleof you are just People I Want to Send FFV to.Your FFV hard-copies are already in the mail. Don't open the envelopefrom Finland around someone you don't want to see one naughty word. Orthis wmail and attachment, actually. Darn middle F. I didn't invent thephrase though. So I'm a blameless little angel in this whole thing.Yeah.Anyway, here's the PDF version. Enjoy the farce, and maybe enjoy a goodgaming idea or three. The next thing will be serious and more usableout-of-the-box (don't think it'll be Insect Shrine, but that depends onMs. Jalo).
