FunSizedGames, Book Orders, and the Future of Little Fears

Hello, everyone!

I know it’s been forever. I apologize for the extended radio silence for the past–well, for a while now. Some of you are aware of what my personal situation has been for the past few years and how a bunch of bad things came to a head late last year which culminated in a job change, a shakeup to my family situation, and yet another big move. I had intended to rush forward with stuff around October of last year, literally a couple months after the last of the bad things went down, but that was simply too soon. I needed time to heal, time to come to terms, time to strengthen, and time to become inspired again.

That inspiration came a few months ago when I started working on a new game system, Full Deck Roleplaying. (You can grab the Full Deck Roleplaying Playtest Document for free over at DriveThruRPG, if you want to check it out.)

Working on and realizing Full Deck Roleplaying ignited a fire in me that had been snuffed for years. Frankly, I let FunSizedGames and all its lines fall into serious disrepair. But that time is over.

Following the release of the Full Deck Roleplaying Playtest Document, I revamped the FunSizedGames website. I updated all the info on the FunSizedGames on DriveThruRPG. And I’m working to do even more.

Soon, I’ll be launching an entire Full Deck Roleplaying line and I am overhauling the operations side of FunSizedGames. Here’s what that means for Little Fears.

New Book Orders

From hereon out, I will no longer be selling Little Fears books directly. I would let far too long go before shipping orders, I would let my personal supply of books dwindle to where I had to reorder as your orders came in, and that combined meant you had to wait an unreasonable amount of time to get your books. You deserve better.

I just received the printer files today and will be working to get Little Fears Nightmare Edition Books 1, 2, and 3 as well as Happy Birthday, Little Fears onto DriveThruRPG as POD options. DriveThruRPG uses the exact same printer I did so there should be no change in quality. The only difference is that, of course, I won’t be able to sign the copies before they go out. But I think the much faster shipping turnaround makes up for that.

Existing Book Orders

For those of you who ordered a book directly from me, I have your order but, as I said, I have been terrible about timely fulfillment. That’s a big big part of the reason I’m switching over to DriveThruRPG’s services. I do have copies in-hand though and I will be shipping the orders in batches throughout the next two weeks. I will let you know when I have shipped your order.

I am deeply sorry for the extended time some of you have been waiting. It’s indefensible. I will get your orders in the post.

International Orders

I had an issue with PayPal not charging international shipping. I don’t know why but PayPal blasted the international shipping charges I had set in their system. If you placed an international order where shipping wasn’t charged, I will reach out to you. You’ll have the option to either PayPal the shipping charges separately or get a full refund of your order. Unfortunately, I am not in a position to absorb the cost of international shipping.

The Future of Little Fears

Now let’s talk about the future of Little Fears as a game line.

Little Fears Nightmare Edition

This will shock probably no one but I am considering the Little Fears Nightmare Edition line to be complete. One core book, two major supplements, seven standalone episodes, and two mini-supps. I’m really proud of the work I managed to do with LFNE and I am so very happy with the response from gamers around the world. I truly consider it to be the definitive “kids fighting monsters” RPG. Your support made all of those releases possible. I think it’s a fine game line and I’m happy with where it has ended.

20th Anniversary of Little Fears

That said, next year will be the twentieth anniversary of the original Little Fears, which debuted at the Origins Game Fair back in July 2001, and I will not let that pass without something momentous. I celebrated the tenth anniversary with a new version of the original game. For the twentieth anniversary, I have something even more special planned. Stay tuned.

Thank You

Finally, a big thank you to all of you who have supported my game design career over the past almost twenty (!!!) years. It’s had major ups, major downs, but it’s always been interesting and your support helped open a lot of doors for me. I am excited anew for the future of FunSizedGames, the future of Full Deck Roleplaying, and all the projects that are currently in the works.

I hope you’ll continue to follow me along this journey.
