JimLotFP · Post by **JimLotFP** » Thu Sep 07, 2006 10:06 am

'allo K&Kers... sorry to have such a lame first post, but, well, ya know.

I've been aware of the site for awhile and have used some of the downloads for my own AD&D1E game I've been running here in Finland since April (I have seven players right now... they are finishing up Keep on the Borderlands this coming week... all these players who had never played through such a classic... tsk tsk... I had to!) Anyway, I plan to check this place pretty frequently now... and with that, my announcement:

http://www.lotfprpg.com/products.php

Insect Shrine of Goblin Hill
(LotFPRPG 1)
10.00€ 64 Pages
Shipping is included in the price!

Description
A beginning-level adventure module compatible with Old School Advanced Edition Fantasy Role-Playing Games (including OSRIC), Insect Shrine of Goblin Hill presents a complete adventuring environment for Game Masters to challenge, surprise, and torture their players! Featuring cover artwork by Dan Berger (Gutwallow, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and NewsTarget.com) and proofreading by Garth Ferrante.

Insect Shrine of Goblin Hill will have the following sections:

Gorsamfeld Inn, a thoroughly detailed "home base" and enough adventure hooks to keep everyone busy without ever needing to venture outside!
A goblin village, including a complete cave structure and outdoor dwellings
The Shrine of Insects, the long-forgotten temple to the evil alien god of all things creepy and crawly
Complete set of maps and descriptions for all locations
Adventure seeds and plot ideas to bring the locations to life and draw the PCs into the action
Full statistics as close to Old School Advanced Edition standards as the SRD and OSRIC will allow!

Insect Shrine of Goblin Hill has an estimated release date of December 2006. It will be sold as a limited edition of 150 copies (or the exact amount of pre-orders if that miraculously eclipses 150). The format will be A5-sized black-and-white booklet, unbound for ease of pulling specific sections separately from the module for play. When this limited edition sells out, the module will be placed on the LotFP: RPG website as a free pdf, minus artwork (but including maps), a similarly artwork-free version will be made available at-cost on lulu.com. The intent with the LotFP: RPG project is not to make a profit (although the possibility exists to make, literally, a few euros), but to cover costs of printing, artwork, editing, postage, materials, web hosting, etc as well as to provide exciting gaming resources to its target audience. Pre-order it here!

I thought I'd at least registered for the board before, but... apparently not.

Aha! Yes, the board changed from ezboard to its current location and everyone had to re-register.

Cool! So your the one that put this up on ENWorld. Good. Am I correctly informed that your included shipping also covers to the US?

Treebore · Post by **Treebore** » Fri Sep 08, 2006 2:27 am

Good! Your using Paypal. Shipping worlwide is included in the price! Excellent. Now as long as my finances straighten out in time for me to be able to justify this expenditure.

FYI, I have to be a good boy for awhile because of how much I spent at GenCon and then breaking my agreement with my wife when I got back and buying the Red Dragon. I wasn't supposed to be spending much money on RPG's for awhile. So I need to be really good for about a month or two more.

Greetings Treebore. I've read some of your comments regarding OSRIC at ENword and I think you'd fit in well here. I do hope you'll stick around and check out the other forums.

Yup. A better deal in gaming is damned hard to find.

Last I heard the 10€ came out to $13.14 after the exchange and fees.

Right now I fit in because of the OSRIC/1E material I can use for my C&C games. If I see other ways to fit in I will, but with the forum rules giving such a strong indication that C&C is a bad topic around here, I guess we will just have to see.

C&C is not a bad topic. Its just that AD&D/OOP D&D is why the site was developed for (something more focused then places like ENworld and DF, for those who want to focus on AD&D and D&D from the 70s and early 80s. Anyhow, its great you made it here.

The preview (in PDF format) for Insect Shrine of Goblin Hill is now online!

Hey Jim! Welcome aboard

For the K&K homies that might have missed it, Jim has a '101 days of AD&D'-type thread at DF where he talks about his campaign. It's really imaginative and very entertaining. I urge you all to take a look at it:

Good technical artist, she has some nice stuff. It'll be interesting to see how she realizes "old school" art. I can't give a definition of that, but it's like that supreme court justice who stated that he couldn't define porn, but he knew it when he saw it. Same thing for me when it comes to fantasy gaming art of the '70s and early '80s.
