Any news about the new modules?

I received my copies of Barrens of Carcosa and Mountains of Dream from Lulu the other day. Truly inspiring stuff, will steal heavily from them for my next campaign!

I suspect it might be a while before we see more Carcosa modules. Though if Geoff gets a hold of me to make maps I will jump on it!

Hi guys, are all you safe? Hope a nice saving throw against Covid-19
Still no news about Carcosa modules?

This board hasn't been active in a long time. I'm not currently running a Carcosa campaign, although I'd like to play a game soon.

Right now all I can say is, "Perhaps someday."

The Muses are not whispering to me right now of Carcosa. Of course, that could change at any moment. The Muses are changeable, whimsical, and fickle. They look at our creative plans and laugh in scorn.

If and when the Muses resume the songs that the Hyades shall sing, then shall further Carcosa books be released.

I'm jealous.

Waiting for muses is my own personal recipe for getting nothing done.

Same here. I have been in a creative slump the last few months. And when I do get some idea, I get analysis paralysis on how to do it.

In any case, I haven't been focusing on Carcosa lately. Maybe I'll think of something soon.

From Robert E. Howard's Dec. 13th, 1933 letter to Clark Ashton Smith:

I’m rather of the opinion myself that widespread myths and legends are based on some fact, though the fact may be distorted out of all recognition in the telling. While I don’t go so far as to believe that stories are inspired by actually existent spirits or powers (though I am rather opposed to flatly denying anything) I have sometimes wondered if it were possible that unrecognized forces of the past or present or even the future work through the thoughts and actions of living men. This occurred to me when I was writing the first stories of the Conan series especially. I know that for months I had been absolutely barren of ideas, completely unable to work up anything sellable. Then the man Conan seemed suddenly to grow up in my mind without much labor on my part and immediately a stream of stories flowed off my pen or rather, off my typewriter almost without effort on my part. I did not seem to be creating, but rather relating events that had occurred. Episode crowded on episode so fast that I could scarcely keep up with them. For weeks I did nothing but write of the adventures of Conan. The character took complete possession of my mind and crowded out everything else in the way of storywriting. When I deliberately tried to write something else, I couldn’t do it. I do not attempt to explain this by esoteric or occult means, but the facts remain. I still write of Conan more powerfully and with more understanding than any of my other characters. But the time will probably come when I will suddenly find myself unable to write convincingly of him at all. That has happened in the past with nearly all my rather numerous characters; suddenly I would find myself out of contact with the conception, as if the man himself had been standing at my shoulder directing my efforts, and had suddenly turned and gone away, leaving me to search for another character.

I still hope to see the last 4 modules of Carcosa!!!
