Cthulhu Christmas Cards

Created by Auroch Digital

As the evenings draw in and the seasons turn towards the end of the year, looming on the horizon is the ghost of Christmas future. We thought that this year we’d like to send an assortment of Mythos themed Christmas Cards to the special (and not so special) people in our lives. Then we thought; let’s print them up and let others send these blasphemous greetings, too. Then we remembered we live in a market-based economy and we need a bunch of monies to do just that. Then we thought; hey we found a bunch of like-minded crazy-but-fun peoples on the Internets last year – let ask them if they want to go in and help us print off these amazing designs!

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Backerkit & Surveys
over 6 years ago – Wed, Nov 15, 2017 at 03:11:03 PM

Huzzah! The Deep Ones are busy in the workshop, hand printing onto slices of dead tree. If that doesn't get you into the festive spirit then nothing will! 

As this is a time sensitive project we're going to turn these around double time to make sure we have time to get them posted to the farthest reaches of the world so those people can then post them on to their furthest and dearest. 

We have enlisted the help of Backerkit to do this so go check your inbox and you should have a backer survey to complete. We will begin shipping this Friday (the 17th) so the quicker you get us your survey the quicker you'll get your package of delightful terrors. 

Backerkit also gives us the great opportunity to offer all backers ad-on items, so, wondering what to get the tea drinking Lovecraftian in your life...

 

We did it! The Stars are Right! Thanks you all!

Hello all! Together we now openly worship the dark ones! The campaign has triumphed over the light and good taste! 

You'll be getting a BackerKit email any day now which will allow you to add additional A4 prints, mugs, stickers and more. Please complete it asap as we have a world to drown and postal dates to make!

Also the private forum has been up for a few days for Copywriters, Copywriters and Yellow Kings and Queens to weight in on the verses. We need to you input by tomorrow else we can't promise to include it. See the private massage to you. Get in touch any problems!

Thanks again, Tomas and the Kult Krew.

PS. As promised, here's the full version of the '12 Days of Cthulhumas'...

On the Sixth Update of Christmas, 
My True Love Gave to me, Six Ghroth-A-Laying Five Silver Keys,Four Voorish Signs,Three Ulthar Cats,Two Tindalos Hounds,And Yog-Sothoth in a Pear Tree.

Welcome, fellow gibbering cultists to the final message before the end. We wish to thank you from the bottom of our brackish little hearts for all your support that has helped us unlock the 3rd and penultimate tier.  We have warned you about the final tier.... Please go no further! You have been warned.

As I pen these words in digital blood, time ticks by...for us mortals it has every meaning even as for the Old Ones it does not. Messages on black wings of fury have already gone out to those on the Copywriter and Yellow King and Queen tiers with keys to the forbidden text. Please check your in-boxes on Kickstarter for them!

Finally, join us in the chant as we go into the final hours...

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!!

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!!!

Cthulhu fhtagn.

(Repeat until 25th December)

Sticker Mayhem! Forbidden Text Mayhem!
over 6 years ago – Thu, Nov 09, 2017 at 07:28:43 AM

Hello fellow cultists.

Let us begin with seasons greetings; Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.

Onto business! First is is clear we are going to make the goal and more. So we are about to start work on the forbidden text in the Copywriter, Copywriter+ or The Yellow King or Queen tiers. There are only 3 of these left in total, so if you want to join in, time to bump it up! This work will run until we have translated the Necronomincon into Klingon. Not really, that's so 2016. We'll run it until a few days after the end of the Kickstarter goal so we've got plenty of time to get the cards to the printer - so please do watch out for a personal message on how to engage!

Second - we're going to be using BackerKit to allow people to add A4 prints and other extra rewards to your tiers. No need to do anything if you're happy with your selection, but there will be time to add these at the end.. in four days! (Eeek!)

Third - the stickers. We had a cool idea to add some more stickers with a modified version of the 'Forbidden and Naughty List' card design with space for you to write a personal message in! Let us know if, like us, you you like this by 'liking' the post or comments and we'll add to the options!

Thanks again,

Tomas and the Cultists (Sounds like a 60s psychedelic band?!)

 

On the Fifth Update of Christmas...We've passed 175% - Nooo! No more, we beg you!

On the Fifth Update of Christmas,
My True Love Gave to me,
Five Silver Keys, Four Voorish Signs,
Three Ulthar Cats,
Two Tindalos Hounds,
And Yog-Sothoth in a Pear Tree.  

Yes, yes generosity of spirit is a 'Christmas' thing and all that, but we have asked you, no begged you to not keep unlocking stretch goals as you have now for the 2nd one! So now you can access A4 prints of the blasphemous images to decorate your summoning caves or occult castles or wherever it is you live. Details of how to do this to follow!


Thanks you again for thus far. But, please no more for the 5th and final one is a horror we dare not unleash! As we have already said - this design is so terrible, so mind-shattering we’ve all only been able to work on small parts of it at once. One of the team saw two parts of the design and needed three days in a sanatorium to recuperate. We beg you, do not make us complete it for all our sake...

Yours,

Tomas and the cult team.
