“…grown increasingly disenchanted and frustrated (again) with the games industry’s orthodoxy, mediocrity, vapidity and apathy. Especially where Lovecraft and roleplaying are concerned, I feel strongly that too many bubbly, juvenile, tender-hearted milksops have infested the genre…
The general population of devotees among “Lovecraftian circles” suffers from a fairy tale misconception of the Mythos, one that I believe would turn poor Howard in his grave if he could see the candy-ass travesty that his grand universe has become. The mainstream Mythos is a dumbed-down and diluted, popularized and trivialized, emasculated cartoon, wholly separate from the dark, unutterable, obscene and blood-soaked savagery that is the true essence of the Mythos, and my contempt for this fashionable, New Age, Hello Kitty Lovecraft is well known.
So no more games.”

Das ist aber nicht das Ende für The Mysteries of Mesoamerica, denn Pagan Publishing übernimmt die Produktion und bringt das Buch im Sommer 2008 auf den Markt.
Im Yog-Sothoh Forum könnt ihr den genauen Wortlaut der Mitteilung von Blair Reynolds nachlesen.
Auch das andere Buch “Mysteries of the Old West” soll wohl noch kommen, man darf also gespannt sein
LOL,
who the fuck is Blair Reynolds?
Scheint ja ein bisschen strange zu sein, der Typ. Ne kleine Diva oder was?
