Even with the discount code I have pretty much zero interest in this. This is a prime example of what timmo was talking about when he alluded to the MPC taking part in reruns as opposed to anything original. This is such a tired genre at this point, and unless they really do something spectacular or vastly different from the other murder mystery boxes out there, I don't see any reason to try this out.

I didn't receive no stinkin' discount code. You had to download, fill in and snail mail their application. In response they mailed back a letter. At the very bottom of the letter was the discount code.

The optimist might suggest that's why it has been so long in development. Can anyone find an optimist around here to suggest that?

Brand new boxes break my immersion

Just for the record, there was a slightly different email sent to those who had applied to and were rejected by the GDA earlier this year. I've highlighted the major differences in bold font.

Still skeptical. No price point mentioned nor details. Just more hints that something is coming. Haven't they been singing that song for a year now?

Stranger things have happened! Who would have thought there would be a new experience with a new artifact?

My guess is that this will be something like HAK's premium box mysteries. One box mailed to you and will be a higher price tag. I don't see them issuing quarterly or monthly publications again.

Quite honestly Dec 21 is a terrible time to ask me for money. I’m always cash poor right before Christmas Day.

It's up! Single shipment murder mystery thing! $70, free shipping plus a challenge coin and a pin if ordered by January 31st. I don't think I'd trust them enough to buy this at full price but with that $50 discount from sending in the application I might give it a chance.

There's a photograph showing everything included, though some small items are in brown bags. On the fence.

Well that's not what I was expecting at all, and with the discount code, it's not too outrageously expensive for what it is (certainly way less expensive than a Hunt A Killer premium case). I'll probably go for it, especially if there's really a pulp novel included.
