klecser Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I'll start by saying that HOTOE is the best role-playing product I've ever invested in. I know that HOTOE 2015 was a Kickstarter and I know that Kickstarters often have exclusives that are never available at retail. So I read in the "What's In This Box" sheet under "Not in the Box": "Additional supplemental material can be found at www.chaosium.com. This includes, but is not limited to, the Desk Accessories Kit, the Souvenirs from the Journey Kit, the Dining Car Kit, the Medallion of Ithaqua, plus the latest supplements...." Is it safe to assume that information was included in the Box with the hopes that those products would be available for retail sale? But they never got to retail and that's why I can't find any reference to them on Chaosium.com? " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dce Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Most of the items you mention were AFAIK only ever produced in quantities sufficient to meet the needs of the Kickstarter, so I'd be skeptical about them ever being released as after sale items (even if that was the original attention). The one exception to this is the Medallion of Ithaqua, which is available for purchase direct from the company Chaosium sub-contracted to make it: Mark Morrison's rather awesome Campaign Coins.

Dave Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 BTW, the medallion is worth every penny, including the (surprisingly reasonable) cost of shipping from Australia. Highly recommended. Pick up some Innsmouth gold while you're at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did not continue to have additional lots manufactured though (likely due to lack of demand and/or capital). But if you're interested in more props, I have some tips here.
