LotFP 2020 Year-End Sale!

Merry New Year everybody!

***

For the EU Webstore... 20€ FLAT-RATE SHIPPING OPTION WORLDWIDE. Finally pick up those heavy books like Veins of the Earth (don't forget the slipcase!) without paying Finand's arm and a leg rates for shipping. I'll eat the difference. My Christmas gift to you all! Add more stuff in, shipping will not increase! (And I've already received notice that shipping rates are going up after the first of the year...)

Do note we only have FOUR Vornheims left as of this writing, ELEVEN Isle of the Unknowns, and FORTY-EIGHT Broodmothers. When these are gone, they are all gone. So grab your copy now.

ALSO, use promo code BYE2020 when checking out and get 50% off any and all t-shirts!

Offer ends December 28!

NOTES:

Just want to thank everyone for a big year here at LotFP. We came really close to total disaster, but you all made sure we live on to fight another day. 

But now it's time to advance again. Looks like the next releases won't be to the printer until March or so (five months later than I'd hoped... *sigh*) and then the release cycle after that... seriously... the Ref book. So I need to conserve resources for all that, but there is much to do between now and then.

For LotFP, I have a mischievous promotional program in mind. Maybe it's a cheeky little clever idea, maybe it's another "OH GOD WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?" mess in the making, but LotFP has been bouncing back and forth across that line its entire existence. It's baked into the LotFP way of doing things. We're not like the other children and won't be made to be. Getting swatted back a few times isn't going to stop that.

But this idea (which I'm not telling - the outcome is something I want to see as it happens, not see people predict what would happen) will take a little cash. So whether it results in a full-on meltdown, an unnoticed damp squib, or some level of amusement and/or useful promotion in the middle... buy a book or ten and let's play.

And if that all gets financed, then there are a couple of other promotional things that I want to do that are a bit safer and standard, but less interesting and exciting on my end.

And after the business is done, there are some personal improvements to take care of, and always more projects to get on the faster track. That'd be cool too.

2020 was just weird on a global scale... an LotFP LARP of awfulness, really. 2021 will probably be moreso. I'm not confident I'll be able to get back out on the road to see you all this year (Goth Con has already announced going digital-only for 2021...) but while I don't miss the travel I do miss matching the actual human faces to the digital presences. I actually miss you people. Damn it.

We have an active LotFP Facebook community group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/lotfp and you can come interact with the chatty ne'er-do-wells that haunt that cursed place.

Be swell, everyone.

Free Shipping to UK Offer! Plus Updates...

 First the good stuff. Because this is the time of year we would have been at Dragonmeet, we're going to offer free shipping for all UK orders made through the LotFP EU webstore through December 15! 

Second... Facebook recently updated its interface, and the official LotFP page there is effectively unusable. The page was categorized as "Gaming" (LotFP is a gaming publisher, after all), but trying to post the sale update there today.. there's no more posting that I can find, and it's assuming that "Gaming" pages are used for video game streaming. Which would make it a dead page. If they can't fix it, I'm dumping Facebook entirely. So there's the LotFP Twitter (bleh) , and there is this blog. There are also the mailing lists from the LotFP webstores, but in an effort to not spam I only use that for actual release announcements.

I don't look at Twitter mentions and I'm not mental enough to leave comments open here, so I'm about to be very disconnected from everyone.

But looks like this blog might once again become my primary outlet for updates and "stuff."
