Shadows Over Filmland for Trail of Cthulhu is out now! Pre-ordered copies have shipped, and you can get it at the Pelgrane Press webstore and IPR.
Following the success of the ProFantasy implementation of paypal, the Pelgrane store now takes paypal, too.
Dying Earth Update
Fields of Silver, a Dying Earth supplement was accidentally missed out of our PDF releases, and is now available until the end of May from our store and rpgnow.com. Read the author's article about her design intentions for this early-style campaign.
Since our sale began, we have sold over 1000 Dying Earth games. 100 people have bought the core book from rpgnow alone. I'm very chuffed; I am sure there is some element of "get it while it's available", but I've had a number of people emailing me, wondering why they hadn't tried it before. A few items are now completely sold out, including Turjan's Tome, and others are disappearing fast. Perhaps a closing down sale was the best thing for the Dying Earth! It would have taken until the sun died to sell that many, otherwise.
The Dying Earth rule set might not die though. I'm contemplating a use for it, but I'm open to suggestion.

I was away two weeks ago, and delayed my shipment of Shadows to arrive the week I got back. They actually turned up yesterday, as DHL required a VAT number. Of course, Pelgrane Press is not VAT registered, so I had to juggle things with ProFantasy.
They are beautifully printed and bound - even better than Trail, very sturdy, smythe-sewn with head and foot bands. The artwork glows with silver-screen light. The black end papers contrast effectively with the lurid cover.
But there's one great big bloody problem, and I can't release the damn books. In fact, I'm demanding a reprint. See if you can spot the problem.

Shadows has been printed, and will be out shortly. Here is the French cover for your edification. The illustration was an interior in our more pulpy cover.

Another Shadows image from the adventure White Bokor - a sequel to the atmospheric 1932 movie White Zombie.
"Their outlines were human, semi-human, fractionally human, and not human at all -- the horde was grotesquely heterogeneous."*

* Yes, different type of shambling humanoids, but when they trap you in the cellar, taxonomy should not be your first priority.

More artwork from Jérome for Shadows Over Filmland.
"The green ape is very real. It is why the natives have made their village a fortress. He is called Dhothlona, and is a terrible god of death."

The cover for the forthcoming Trail of Cthulhu supplement Shadows Over Filmland, a collection of adventures for Cthulhu inspired by the creatures and tropes of the silver screen. The art is by Jérome, of course. I've been told that putting the word Cthulhu on the cover will increase sales substantially, I'm considering a Cthulhu-related swipe line which fits in with the movie, and yet lets the casual browser know what the book is all about. Any thoughts?

For Shadows Over Filmland, a new Trail of Cthulhu adventure series, Jee is working on a silver screen style with spooky lighting and dry ice. Here's an example from his blog:
Edit: As Robin points out in the comments, I mis-titled this. I'll save the "GSL Goodness" for another day.
