News: Pagan to take over Room 308's Game Publishing Commitments
Posted on Saturday, February 02, 2008 @ 22:24:45 GMT
Topic: Pagan Publishing

 There have been recent concerns in the forums over the future of Room 308 Graphics & Publishing since Blair Reynolds' web site went offline a little while before Christmas.
A post earlier today by Blair (NyarlathotepsScribe) has provided an update, indicating that Pagan Publishing will be taking over the publication of Room 308's planned game materials (The Mysteries of Mesoamerica , The Mysteries of the Old West) so that BR can concentrate on production of his Black Sands graphic novel series.
This change also marks the end of Room 308's involvement in game publishing, with Reynolds' stating he's:
"...grown increasingly disenchanted and frustrated (again) with the games industry’s orthodoxy, mediocrity, vapidity and apathy. Especially where Lovecraft and roleplaying are concerned, I feel strongly that too many bubbly, juvenile, tender-hearted milksops have infested the genre...
The general population of devotees among "Lovecraftian circles" suffers from a fairy tale misconception of the Mythos, one that I believe would turn poor Howard in his grave if he could see the candy-ass travesty that his grand universe has become. The mainstream Mythos is a dumbed-down and diluted, popularized and trivialized, emasculated cartoon, wholly separate from the dark, unutterable, obscene and blood-soaked savagery that is the true essence of the Mythos, and my contempt for this fashionable, New Age, Hello Kitty Lovecraft is well known.
So no more games."
To read Blair Reynolds' full post on the issue, visit the RM308 and The Mysteries of Mesoamerica thread in the YSDC forums.
The Mysteries of Mesoamerica is expected
Summer 2008 from Pagan Publishing. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | | I feel the poor fellow may have missed the point as we make fun of the mythos because we love it so and being scared of something 24/7 is kind of hard when you picture after picture of the 'undescribeable horror.'
Shame to see this go as I hadnt heard about it until today and I love a dark and gritty CoC game. |
