Carcosa map and poster

[Beholder]

I just bought my Carcosa copy a few days ago, but unfortunately the vinyl map and poster were sold out

If someone decides to let go of their map/poster, please let me know. I would be more than happy to buy

I hate discovering awesome goodies only to find out that it's out of print/sold out, haha. Oh well...

Perhaps we can hope for a reprint?

I believe the maps and posters would be good sellers, but I'm wondering if the expense of printing them would be worth it for Raggi unless he knew he could sell a minimum number of them.

There is also the issue (if memory serves) of these items being promised as exclusive items for folks who ordered early. Feel free to correct the previous, but I seem to remember that was the case.

Yes, there was a limited number and you could only buy directly from LotFP. Once gone it was gone
Sucks for people like me who found out about Carcosa a bit too late... oh well.
Let's hope he'll change his mind and make a 2nd re print.
I wish at least that the poster with the map and key location would be available... I've looked in the book and doesn't seem to be there... am I right?

The original McKinney edition printing has a hex map keyed to the contents of the book.

The LotFP edition has a fancier version of that map, plus another.

I'm not sure which of the maps was on the poster, but I feel safe assuming it was one or the other of the two in the book (pp. 142-143 in the PDF version).

I'm not sure if we have the same pdf version. Mine has 2 maps at the end of the book (pg 276 and 277) the fist is carcosa's main map while the second is hex 2005.

The one in the poster is the same carcosa main map, but keyed out with important "material" necessary for most of the rituals. You can see on the bottom picture:

That one I can't find on the pdf... and I which I could get a hold of
I understand if James don't wanna re-print, but it would be cool to have access to that map.

Check p. 213 of your PDF.

[Beholder]

Nope
I've checked the entire book and I don't have that map
Do you have that map on your book?? The one with the key points and description?

There was a map and poster?

Okay, I'm not entirely certain what you're asking, I suppose. My PDF of LotFP Carcosa has two maps at the end of the file.

One is labelled Campaign Map #1 and the file states is is on page #142 even though the book depicted therein has many more pages. On the picture to which you've linked, it is the map beneath the Periodic Table of Elements. The map is keyed in the text of the book starting on page 113 (going by the page numbers on the page, the PDF thinks it is page 60).

The second map is the detail map of hex #2005 and is keyed in the text on page #213 (p. 111 according to the PDF).

The only thing missing as far as I can see is the map to the viewers of left of the periodic table in the photograph you've linked. It is the same as the first map, above, but IIRC shows the location of various sorcery related miscellany -- information contained in the text.

Do I have the knowing of it? Or do I yet misunderstand?

Exactly, the PDF has both the main map and the information of what's in each hex, but not the map + key from the photo.

Technically, the book has all you need, but it would be cool to have the map from the picture. I think it would be nice to look at a map with all that information rather than searching the book each tim you move into a new hex

And that map, as far as I know, was only available at the limited copies that came with the vinyl map + poster

[Deleted]

Ah ... yes, that is correct. The extra map is an exclusive for folks who pre-ordered. As I've stated up-thread, perhaps Raggi and McKinney will make it available if demand is sufficient.

One last thing ... I'm sure nobody here minds your questions but the publisher of the material you're asking about has an online forum. You might be able to get more reliable information straight from Raggi himself.

Here it is:

Thanks Cameron.
I'll try posting at the LotFP forum. Hopefully someone will have a spare map/poster for sale
