So about a week or so Lulu had a massive sale on their titles with codes and all kinds of promotions, I took full advantage of this to order some titles that I had on my list of must get OSR material titles.
Petty Gods was at the top of the heap because I knew the quality of the title and damn its a nice book with lots and lots of OSR adventure potential. I have been seriously fawning about the title's pdf for months. The Star Ship From Hell by Neoplastic Press, & Obscene Serpent Religion.
CC1 The Creature Compendium By Richard Leblanc Jr. was also on my list of must gets. Possibly one of the best monster books I've seen slanted to various editions of the products of your imagination. Every title I got from the sale that Lulu ran is going to give me a tremendous amount of gaming utility in the field and is going to get a ton of mileage at my table. The books are well laid out, the bindings tight, the material top drawer and I've got a ton of uses for these titles at my table. Dark Albion is going to have to wait as I've still got some other real life issues pressing in on me at the moment.

You must have ordered just before me or maybe are closer to the printers... I ordered Petty Gods and CC1 Creature Compendium... was hoping to get them by this weekend, but it looks like I won't get them till Tuesday. Oh well... at least it WAS an amazing deal!
ReplyDeleteIt was really too good of a deal to pass up James Mishler, I know the feeling of not having your books when your getting ready to play. Trust me when I say I understand your pain in that department.
ReplyDeleteBut on the upside there is the fact that it was a fantastic deal and too good to pass up! Now from what I understand there's another sale coming from Lulu soon. I ordered about a ago week and some change so, it was simply timing I think. Thanks for the comment and I'm slowly getting things lined up.
I'm waiting on my mini-haul as well. There must have been a backlog. I'm guessing it's due to the sale and maybe earlier requests for authors printing product for GenCon. I like to take advantage of Lulu's free mail shipping sales.
ReplyDeleteYeah, with the crowds that I've seen on various sites and such its probably the case with your waiting. I take full advantage of the free shipping sales and the other thing I like is the shipping tracking that Lulu does vs. Drivethrurpg on orders. That's one of the areas that Lulu has the advantage. Thanks for the comments and more coming soon.
