    Lovecraftian Letters tinI'm happy to announce our new Yoggie project - Lovecraftian Letters! Yes, now you can create your own Lovecraftian miniature tales and share your dark wisdom with everyone in your kitchen with over 500 Lovecraft-inspired magnetic words!

    We've set up a fundraiser preorder via IndieGoGo to help get this unique item into production. The preorder comes with a variety of additional benefits and exclusives and we anticipate that sets will start shipping very shortly after the fundraiser closes in early October.

    Lovecraftian Letters - we think "Grandpa Theobald" would approve!

    Based on H.P. Lovecraft's unique lexicon, Lovecraftian Letters contains over 500 words and word fragments that allow anyone to create phrases and tell miniature tales of eldritch horror. The handsome set comes in a metal tin you can use to try out your squamous combinations before putting them on your fridge (or brain cylinder).

    There's never been anything quite like it and it's only from Yog-Sothoth.


    You can hear more about Lovecraftian Letters in News from Pnakotus 018, and read more about in the Lovecraftian Letters - Magnetic Words from HPL thread.

      Happy to join in, great idea. I sense a 'Cold Letters' competition is needed at some point

      This is great, Paul. Have you considered having a distributor in the US? There is so much stuff I would love to get from Insmouth house that the shipping rates make impossible for me to get.

      What an excellent idea. I think we should do just that!

      For the current version of Lovecraftian Letters that would not be feasible due to the very high production cost of this set. However if we can somehow manage to reduce overheads in the future that would be something we'd like to do.

      The current offer - besides offering preorder exclusives, does come with worldwide shipping in the price.

      Nice, then I am sold! I will have to wait until Sept. but I am definitely in. I noticed there are some limited "slots" on each category, will you extend it if more people are willing to participate or is it a limitation of the fundraiser?

      If we reach a fair way over the target then I can expand the number of limited slots but at the moment they're restricted by availability of the extras.

      We shall see!

      Excellent only a little over $500 to go! Can't wait for a little tin of disturbing words to darken my door--fridge door, that is!

      Thanks to everyone who helped us reach this milestone!

      A little late to the party, this time, but I had to have a set.
