Sign Up To Our Mailing List


Some Background for Those Who are Interested
Recently I have had one or two emails in which the author of the email asks me why they don’t get messages from Gethsemane Games via DrivethruRPG or RPGNow anymore.  Well, the answer is, recently OBS, the owners of both sites, disabled the option for creators to contact people who have placed something in their wishlist or shopping cart.  It is now only possible to message customers who have completed a sale.  They did this to try and comply with the EU’s GDPR.  Now all they actually had to do was let people who are placing a product in a wishlist/basket without buying opt out of receiving messages but that’s by-the-by.
What this means for you as potential customers are that you can no longer benefit from a special offer on an item you have in your wishlist/basket unless you have purchased from us before via any one of the OBS sites.  Obviously, this has disappointed some of you, and frankly, it disappoints us too.  After all, we like to sell products to gamers.  Its sort of what we do and the feature let us sell products to new customers when they had already shown an interest in buying them.  Since the change, the number of people that receive an email we send through RPGNow/Drivethru etc. has dropped by about 25% and naturally, this has had an impact on our sale.
New Gethsemane Games Mailing List
However, we are British so its time for a stiff upper lip don’t you know!  Can’t be seen to complain.  So.  instead we looked for a solution.  I mean we didn’t have to look far, the answer was obvious really.  – Set up our own (GDPR compliant) mailing list.  so we did, and here it is:-
By signing up to this mailing list you will be among the first to learn about new products, discounts, freebies and special offers from Gethsemane Games.
Also, the Fangotes will eat you last.  Probably.

Now don’t worry, if you have bought products from us on an OBS platform, you will still receive the emails we send customers there.  However, our own mailing list has a lot more tools and since I do like to use tools, it means that members of our new ‘Voice of the Other-Verse’ mailing list will not only get news of new releases, discount codes and so on but you will also get occasional freebies, special offers available only to members and other goodies that the increased functionality of our own mailing list will now make possible.
Huzzah!
