17.10.2010: LotFP to Release Geoffrey McKinney's Isle of the Unknown and Carcosa in 2011

Lamentations of the Flame Princess has come to an agreement to release Geoffrey McKinney's new Isle of the Unknown project in 2011. LotFP will also re-release Carcosa in an expanded, deluxe edition.

Geoffrey McKinney and I have been generally supportive of each others' work over the past couple of years. I saw that he was putting a new project together while at the same time letting Carcosa go out of print, and I thought his creativity and my expanding distribution network could work to our mutual benefit. Or to drop the PR-talk: We're going to exploit the hell out of each other for mutual financial gain.

Isle of the Unknown is a work in progress so any real talk about it would be premature, but I've seen a preliminary manuscript. I do have to say that people are going to be shocked at how utterly old school the presentation is. And before anyone worries about this collaboration resulting in watered-down McKinney, I'll let you know that even I was a bit shocked at the format of the project. I made "editorial suggestions" and the reply was "No." Rest assured you'll be getting straight-up unfiltered McKinney from Isle of the Unknown. It's going to be wild stuff.

More information on Isle of the Unknown in the months to come.

Then there's Carcosa. I know Carcosa.

Carcosa was, in my eyes, the first project demonstrating that the Old School Renaissance didn't have to be about preserving and fetishizing the past - it could be about building something new and daring without losing the old school ethos or the old school rules. The best of both worlds.

Carcosa caused a bit of a stir when it was first released in 2008, and I thought it was time to re-release it in a format that such a groundbreaking release deserves. I'll be working closely with McKinney to release something that stays absolutely true to Carcosa's original intent while giving it a presentation that will blow people's minds.

I look forward to taking all the madness and excitement that Carcosa inspires and putting that into distribution.

Isle of the Unknown and Carcosa are penciled in to be released Spring 2011.

Weird Fantasy Role-Playing, Hammers of the God, Tower of the Stargazer, and Weird New World (those latter two included with the box and available separately) have been added to the product pages.

A little over a month away.

14.04.2010: All's Not Quiet on the Northern Front

Things have been quiet on the news end, but this summer will be a big release:

LotFP: Weird Fantasy Role-Playing

It will be a box set with 7 booklets, dice, character sheets, etc. Two of those booklets are adventures that will also be available separately.

Also released at the same time will be the third printing of Death Frost Doom and the new adventure Hammers of the God.

The plan is to debut all of this at Ropecon, held in Helsinki July 23-25.

You can keep up with news and doings on the blog and forum, and otherwise, see you guys in July!
