Glad to see he interviewed a real game designer with something valuable and interesting to contribute about Lovecraft - unlike some of his other interview subjects.

Ha! I appreciate that.
 

Recently, I was interviewed by James over at Grognardia. It was a lot of fun! You can read it here, if you are interested:

I do not like that Daggerheart method at all, really, if I'm being honest, but each group ultimately has to decide what works for them. Granted, when I am running a game, it's not a democracy as far as rules and rulings go. I'll listen to the players' thoughts and opinions, and then I will decide. Sometimes I might heed their advice; other times not. If any of them wanted to use this particular initiative method, that would be a resounding "no" from me.               

It's an action for me, too. The woe must be woeful! ;)

Received my hat today. Looking good! 

Glad to hear it, BA23!
 

Since its publication in 2022, I have kept a running list of corrections, clarifications, and small repairs to be made to the HYPERBOREA tabletop adventure game. By late 2024, as our rulebook supply began to dwindle, I knew it was time to start incorporating those changes for a new printing of the game. "Printing" is the operative word here. It is not a new edition. Please note the following:

• We have updated the HYPERBOREA PDFs (Player's Manual, Referee's Manual). These updates are now available at DriveThruRPG. You can update for free if you already have already purchased these PDF titles in the past.
• Soon we will be offering the new print books for presale on our website. Despite printing our books in America, there have been price increases across the board, so our two core rule books will now be $60 each. If you prefer to pay $50 per book for the first printing, you can still order them while supplies last. 
• Are you happy with your current HYPERBOREA 3E books and just want a list of the errata? We've got you covered. On the resources page of our website, you can download the two errata docs. You may print these for reference or even pencil in the changes in your books.

Ghul, could we just buy the leather patch?

I have the same question: I passed on the trucker hat (not a fan of the style), but would like a patch or two for affixing to my gaming backpack.

I'm checking into it and will let you guys know.
 

Our new Xathoqqua logo hats for HYPERBOREA are in production! Check out this leather patch. These will be hand-sewn onto each hat. We ordered extra hats, which will be added to our web store once we get them in.

Here are the Kimmeri-Kelt crosses:

Once again we have a race that's in the "common" range, so a lot of the offspring are "common" men as well.

Right, because we're essentially adding a third race to an already bi-ethnic race. See, you are embracing tri-ethnicity! ;)
