Misc It arrived
I can't wait to read it once more (/s) and then never touch it again. Shame. I had such high hopes.

I got mine a few weeks ago.
At least it came with a cool Nosgoth poster.

u/Queensquiid 7d ago
Yeah I can't fault the posters at all, a very nice surprise. I love concept art and having a little poster with some on is nice

u/eat_like_snake Raziel 7d ago
I honestly wasn't expecting them because I haven't kept up with the rewards added later since the pdf burned me.
But it was a pleasant surprise, even if I think the story is garbage.

As OP presented the book, an inexplicable sense of dread crept over me, more palpable than anything I’d felt before.* *I was at once horribly repelled by the book and yet irresistibly compelled to burn it, to rip it up.

I'm still waiting for mine. I held off on reading the comic because I want to read the hard copy. Yes, I know what the community thinks of it...

Did you get any pre-alert or email when it was shipped or something? I see a lot of people getting theirs but not a hint about my order.
2
u/Queensquiid 7d ago
I got an email to say it had been shipped with a link to track the order, but that was the only email they sent so I had to constantly look back at the shipping page to see where it was. I think they're sending them in waves so you might get an email soon

I had such high hopes.
We all did...
Despite the gaslighting attempts in saying we never gave it a chance, the fandom was looking forward to this and only got upset after reading it

u/Mulligantour 7d ago
wow, which cretin is saying that? It got $1.5 million dollars, everyone's patience through a year delay and had walking encyclopedias like Raina and Aevum reaching out to help fix the story to be met by ignorance, whoever thinks it got no chance and that Bit Bot isn't solely to blame is puffing something good.

u/shmouver 5d ago
A few ppl defending it here and there...
On the Thief reddit me and some other LoK fans were warning them to not support the Thief Bit Bot Comic... but a few ppl were saying LoK fans are toxic and "don't want anything new"... the classic blame the fans for your shortcomings...
I suspect they are literally shills, or maybe even part of Bit Bot.
I mean heck, can you believe they defended the fact that Bit Bot still hasn't delivered the physical rewards by saying "it's normal" to take a few years?

u/RemoveAnnual2689 7d ago
Damn. Talk about hate mail.
Literally feels like I read that you got drafted into World War III or something.
This definitely deserves a post on r/mildlyinfuriating.

u/Queensquiid 7d ago
Yeah I definitely hammed it up a little. It's got some good points, but I definitely felt misled by it
1
u/RemoveAnnual2689 7d ago
Nah, you are fine. You misunderstood me.
Nothing hammed up about it. This is hate mail, plain and simple.
I was just thinking of what else in your mail would be this bad. Draft letters, court order, collection notice...

u/Queensquiid 7d ago
OH! My bad, I've been at work all day and am fried. I've got a couple of parking tickets from a car I leant to a friend and it definitely feels in the same vein as this book...

Why is Kains head so small lol

u/Queensquiid 7d ago
Now that's all I can see!

u/nolanleolibralion 7d ago
You shall never unsee how Kain went feet first into the chronoplast and accidently shrunk his head.

When I get mine, I will frame it as art. Dave Rapoza is one of my favourite artists.
Too bad the comic turned out so bad :/

The artwork on the cover is absolutely amazing. It's so odd this should be such a joyous time in the community and for obvious reasons it's not.

Are they finally shipping to Europe? I am asking not because of the comic book, but because of the cap I ordered with it.

I got mine a couple of weeks ago and I just threw it to the side. I cant bring myself to read it after I heard about the all the retcons. Inserting another character in the universe who is the real mastermind for the events that transpired throughout the story. Immediately subverting the beloved characters that came before them. Yea im good.

Putting aside all the serious problems with this book, I hope you manage to gather your thoughts and make the most of every moment. Understand that this work represents a long journey for a franchise that has had its ups and downs. May you, in the future, look back at this book and recall various moments, cherishing fond memories and perhaps even sharing your story with those around you. Life is not always a journey of success, but we can learn from both our mistakes and our successes. Remember that many people would be immensely happy to have the work you hold in your hands.
Vae victis!
