Geoffrey has an agreement with Mr. Raggi to stop selling the original Carcosa.

But let me just say, I'd be willing to pay extra for a "collector's edition" Carcosa consisting of the new hardback and the old PDF. (wink wink, nudge nudge... say no more, say no more...) ;)

I'll be passing on the new one. Maybe I can find someone wanting to sell their old one. Maybe.

I am just not even slightly interested in LotFP. *shrug*

All sales of LotFP books come with free PDFs. There are some organizational changes, lots of new stuff, but very little of the actual text that appears in first edition is being changed.

Because Carcosa throws out most of the game's basic systems anyway, the only connection between the new Carcosa edition and the LotFP rules are the saving throw labels (which are all familiar) and AC (ascending, base 12).

In that case I may just pick this up.

On August the 2nd Raggi posted to his 'blog that ". . .Carcosa's next layout iteration is in the works. . . "

Along with several other projects mentioned, he hopes to have them out "by the end of the year."

Here is the link to the 'blog post, though I've quoted all the salient points here.

I'm hoping for both Carcosa and Isle of the Unknown to be sent to the printer in September, which would mean a late September or October release. It just occurred to me that a release date of Oct. 8, 2011 would be cool since the original release of Carcosa was on Oct. 8, 2008. :)

Any chance on a package deal for the Grindhouse edition of the core rules and a print copy of the new Carcosa? I've been fighting the urge to buy the Grindhouse edition, but if there were a carcosa bundle the fight might go right outta me.

All decisions on pricing, promos, bundles, etc will be done after the book is off to the printer.

Any plans for supporting material yet, or is the plan to see what the take up of boxed stes is like?

Chello!

I must say that I bought both the original and the Fungoid Gardens and haven't been disappointed. Kudos!

I apologize that I didn't see your question until today!

As far as I know, there are no plans right now for further Carcosa products. If the Carcosa book sells well, and if James gets good Carcosa submissions, I bet he'd publish them.
