Last time I looked at this thread nothing new had been posted on it for a while, so I posted something about the re-release in the Misc section. Should've checked again as this started up a few days before my post - silly me!

Still, the return of The Third Man is really good news. I too like the idea of the carte de visite bizarre version, though I've often thought that working some sort of story around the First World War would be good. There's lots of atmosphere in photos from that era and the war gives an abundance of opportunities for good storytelling.

Ted
Like Stephen I would also be very interested in a set that could easily fit in a wallet ( ie business card sized) Also could there be an option to supply custom photos of our choice?

I just had a look on your website but cant see anywhere to joina mailing list?Is it just a case of emailing you at the address given?

I'm taking all of these requests, and those I'm getting via email, very seriously. The more I hear about particularly options, the more likely I'll provide them.

The mailing list is not on the Contact page, which would make too much sense :) It's on the News page, instead!

Cheers,
T.

Hi Ted,
Any more news on this? I'm awaiting a bizarre version eagerly.

Thanks for asking :)

Actually, I've been working on some other material and I'm not sure what I'm going to do with The Third Man right now. The original manual certainly explains how you would make up your own version, which could be of a bizarre style, so maybe it would be better to simply re-release the original material. What do you think?

Roni and Todd from Psycrets both ordered bespoke bizarre versions from me, so maybe that could be a way forward if you don't want to actually deal with printing photos etc?

Cheers,
T.

I think at the very least a new run (limited if you wish) of the instructions would be welcomed by many. I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that. In addition, as you said about the bespoke sets, it wouldn't be too difficult to offer two or three bespoke options. I do, of course, say all this without any knowledge of how busy you are, but I do speak with a genuine enthusiasm for the effect.
