Kiltmaker's Input Requested, & Who Wants Cthulu Tartan Yardage?

[Ryan Ross]

Lovecraft's work is finally public domain, after a short 1/2 century of litigation between Arkham House, Weird Tales and others.

Regarding a re-order: At this point nothing is going to be done until the whole holiday season is WELL over and done with.

Ryan is correct, this colour run will most likely never be duplicated as 3 of the 4 colours were custom dyed for us, which gets quite expensive when you're not ordering 100+yds double width.

Regarding the sett being registered, it has not yet been. I'm waiting to wrap up my end of year finances to see what (if any) free funds exist for registry. I also kind of like the idea that it's "off the books". Secret tartan for a secret group - very fitting, I think.

ith:

On the other hand, the risk you run in not registering it is that someone might take your very fine design and register it as something else. So, that's something to consider. And, if it is copyrighted, you can set the terms for who can have it woven.

To those who really understand what we're dealing with here, the idea of the public being sold this tartan without knowing it's power is too perfect.

I vote for keeping it off the grid, also.

Ia! Ia! Cthulhu Fhtagn!

I have to admit that I have been giggling maniacally to myself for the last ~25min now at the thought of this happening.

They'll catch most of these ignorant peons with their pants down... but not us. Never us...

I think you've had enough people asking about additional yardage to do another run, if they all got together.

And as far as I can tell, no one has actually seen the final product yet, so we don't really know how it will turn out. We could quite easily start a new run with tweaked colors.

I joined X Marks a few months too late to get in on this project, but I would definitely like to add my voice to the chorus of those who would jump in on a second run if one came together. And having seen photos of the final project, I don't know that anything needs tweaking! Granted, nothing is certain when viewing images on an uncalibrated monitor, but it really looks gorgeous.

Cthulhu Fhtagn!

While considering the name (if needed) you might want to take the coloration into mind. The colors are muted, almost faded, like ancient patterns.

Putting the "OLD" in Great Old Ones, no?

I still like R'lyeh Sett (Ancient, in this case).

[Drac]

While I like Miskatonic or Miskatonic U better R'lyeh Sett seems more appropriate given the coloring. Brings to mind the ancient city more than a modern U.

Still waiting also. Even if they are a bit overwhelmed, taking 5 seconds to acknowledge receipt of an email would be a nice touch.


I still like the name "Hunting Cthulu" just because it seems like such a foolhardy thing to do.

I called DC Dagleish up this morning to find out what had happend to my tartan, it turns out it hasn't been sent out yet beacuse they apparently wanted to send out all the over seas orders first. Mine will be sent out sometime in the next few weeks!
