Prepare for the #LodanRespawn2024 Existing characters may choose to be displace from/have memories of different timelines, thereby allowing returning members the option to retcon their whole character. These changes are the result of the "Unnatural Fog" plot device that is running between now and the Respawn. The plot is simple: no matter where your character is, that place is shrouded in a thick fog that suspends time, but not thoughts or memories, so even if they're repeating the same day over and over again, they continue to remember, so each time feels like a new day. For those retconning OCs; this is where new versions of themselves have the opportunity to replace the old versions. Official lore and tree updates will be announced asap

Hey guys, Some of you may already know, others maybe do not, but I've been working on an other-than-virtual archive of Lodan's RP World. I've been with Lodan since it's inception in October 2011, and we've had absolutely years of game-play and history behind this place. I would hate to see anything happen to it, a server crash, coding corruption, etc. so I figured it was time to start preserving this stuff in physical form. A lot of our Lodan history is on DA too, and disappearing every day as old users leave the site and delete what once was. More are being added as I am able, some might be rearranged and organized differently, we will see.
I'm planning on ordering an actual copy in print of this book when its done (I've been contacting past players for permission to incl their artworks in said book) Please let me know if you would be willing to let me use your images (I will copyright them all back to you, using your DA name or any alternate name you prefer.) This IS NOT for profit. I promise I am not selling Lodan for anything, I will print a copy for myself and if people in the book want a copy - and if everyone agrees to it, then I can open a link so people can order their own copies at the base cost of printing (I will not collect any royalties whatsoever). Leave some feedback in the replies, and thank you for being a part of Lodan! VOLUME 1: www.blurb.com/bookstore/invited/7145281/261e097a6d21d2baaa9996afd6d96bd6a66c5e96
I'm going to make 2 version: vol 1 and vol 2 (vol 1 will be done first, for obvi reasons ) and the most pages I can put in each is 480 Either way, only selling on blurb.com - bc I do not want it to cost anything but the base price of printing and shipping. Amazon and Ibookstore will add a percentage for themselves and charge you more.
She sat her glass down next to the decanter and leaned back. This was nice... like falling into a vat of marshmallow fluff. Calm, muffled, the rest of the world blocked out by the closed door to his cabin, and here they were safe inside. Safe from reality, safe from their own complicated lives. Safe from duty. Safe from context. Just. Safe. --Caitlin

I can proudly say that the first 480 page installment (Volume 1) of this remarkable world is now available to readers, writers, and collectors who are interested in keeping this glorious archive of collaborative art and writing at their fingertips. The book IS NOT for profit. The total cost of ordering a copy covers printing and shipping only - and no one is collecting royalties! That is why it is only available on Blurb, and not on Amazon or B&N even though Blurb is able to partner with them. This is to keep cost to an absolute minimum (material, blurb's labor, distribution) for the community that created this book together! You could (and maybe you already have) print(ed) all of these things at home yourself, over time I did too, but the book is a nicely formatted, organized, quality print of everything you already love about Lodan. If you've been gone a while, the community might have even added a few surprises for you!

It's taken me far too long (6 years) to finish formatting the 2nd volume of the Lodan Anthology in chronological order so that all the casual and dedicated players can print out their own copies of the beloved RPs! I'm so sorry for the ridiculous wait, but now you can find this treasure through this link: www.blurb.com/b/11710817-city-of-gears-anthology-a-history-of-lodan-vol-2Blurb is always promoting all sorts of discounts on the front page so make sure to check those out to get a better deal! Friendly reminder not a soul sees royalties or profits from this book - the cost of the book is Blurbs cost for material, labor, and shipping. If you haven't gotten a copy of Volume 1 yet, and are interested in having the set; check out this link here: www.blurb.com/bookstore/invited/7145281/261e097a6d21d2baaa9996afd6d96bd6a66c5e96 Lastly, I will make an extra effort to do the rest of the volumes pending asap and not spend several years leaving it on the back burner (my bad y'all, my bad)
