Delta Green: Targets of Opportunity and Bumps in the Night

Again, it's probably old news for those of you hooked into the Delta Green mailing list or Yog-Sothoth.com, but Arc Dream Publishing will be getting their hard-cover limited edition of Delta Green: Targets of Opportunity back from the printer this month. They have less than 200 books left to sell, and since they're going to be taking them to GenCon Indy (and sharing booth space with Pagan, Dagon Industries and Cubicle 7) there's not much chance of there being any hardcovers left to buy after August 8th.

As for the soft-cover mass-market version... Pagan will be getting that out in six months, as per our agreement with Arc Dream. Look for it around the Valentine's Day Massacre.

As for Bumps in the Night, we're almost done with final editing and layout. We'll have some proofs at GenCon Indy that folks can look at and place pre-orders with us. Folks who pre-order will also get a PDF of the book before it goes to the printer. We'll have options available for on-line pre-ordering up on our site just after GenCon Indy.

Next blog... well, I don't actually have one yet. Maybe after GenCon we'll have some more actual play recordings of Call of Cthulhu games for you to listen to?

RPPR Interviews A. Scott Glancy

Ross Payton from the Role-Playing Public Radio podcast threw away two hours of his life interviewing me. And now you can too! The interview was supposed to be about upcoming products and projects but often devolves into profanity laced war stories from old Call of Cthulhu games.

For the masochists out there, you can listen to the interview here!

Next post... Actual game books!

The Unspeakable Oath Returns from the Dead

I'm sure this is old news to most everyone since announcements have been made through the Delta Green mailing List and Yog-Sothoth.com, but I might as well blog about it here too.

The Unspeakable Oath is back on track to release a new issue. Shane Ivey of Arc Dream publishing has taken on this task and gotten a new editorial board organized. He even got a new website up for the publication at www.theunspeakableoath.com. The hoary old Call of Cthulhu game journal is shambling forth yet again and looking for submissions from writers and artists.

In the past Pagan has been approached by some gaming start ups that were looking to resurrect the Oath as a way to get their foot in the door of the Call of Cthulhu publishing market. Very few got anywhere, which is why Pagan never made any big announcements in the past concerning getting the Oath back up and running. This time however, based on past experience with Arc Dream publishing in getting our Delta Green books produced, I have full confidence in their endeavor.

So if you've got some Lovecraftian art you're pleased with or some Call of Cthulhu article or scenario you've banged out, now would be the time to send it in to The Unspeakable Oath. Check out their new Submissions page. It's best to send submissions to the new site directly, but if you send something to Pagan I'll endeavor to forward your submissions. But don't count on me! Do it yourself.

Next Post... Me! Running my mouth!

Pagan to Attend GenCon 2010, PAX 2010, The H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival and MythosCon 2011

Looking at the massive gap between posts, one could easily get the idea the team at Pagan have been devoured by dimensional shamblers. Well, we weren't, but I do admit that I am terrible at keeping the public up to date on what's happening around Pagan. We have four bits of news to post and rather than drop them into one big blog entry where they'll all get lost I'm going to post them separately.

First of all, let's lay out Pagan's convention schedule for the next six months. This is convention season for Pagan will be attending:

GenCon Indy from August 5th through August 8th

Look for us in the Exhibitor Hall in Booth # 315

The Penny Arcade Expo (or Pax) here in Seattle from September 3rd to 5th

The H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival in Portland Oregon from October 1st to 3rd

And there's a new Con just getting started. It's calling itself MythosCon and it's based out of the Phoenix area. The folks putting it together are hoping to resurrect the old NecronomiCon that used to be based out of Providence Rhode Island and was dedicated to all things Lovecraftian. Luckily Pagan has old allies in the region so we're planning on attending. The dates for MythosCon are January 6th to the 9th.

We'll be running a retail booth at all these events as well as running some games of Call of Cthulhu to promote our products. Where the players agree to it, we'll record the games using our newly acquired Zoom H2 recorder and post them on the Role Playing Public Radio Actual Play website.

That's all we've got on the subject of Cons... 

Next post, The Unspeakable Oath returns from the grave.
