It's not out on PDF yet. The best way to "check" is to just go to the LotFP main site: http://www.lotfp.com/RPG/ and see if it's been updated there (ie, Eldritch Cock is listed with the other free books).
Subscribing to Raggi/LotFP on G+ is the only real way to get up to date news - he'll likely announce that it's available on there before anywhere else.
1) That is how I read it. You must state the number of each spell being memorized. If the Cleric wants to cast 2 CLW, then they must declare that in the morning.
2) Yes.
3) Correct.
4) Correct. Spellcasting during combat is very dangerous!
I highly recommend you check out this and last year's Free RPG Day offerings from LotFP: Vagina's Are Magic and Eldritch Cock. They are available as free downloads from DriveThruRPG (and you can access them from the main LotFP web page). They present 42 new spells, and a new magic system that I believe is more fun than the traditional one.
Some highlights:
-All spells are available at first level.
-You actually only need to memorize each spell once, but then can cast it multiple times (using up a different slot).
-Instead of spell failure, you have a chance of miscasting spells (like when taking damage).
-Taking on some risk, casters can cast unmemorized spells and/or beyond their allotment for the day.
Update: 22 spells in EC!
I believe so.
The last update I heard on this was the beginning of July 2017. I have content in this issue and Raggi communicated to me that he was working on getting it onto DriveThruRPG as PWYW. I haven't heard anything since then!
The only difference between the backer and official RPG day VAM is that the backer version has a ribbon bookmark. No differences in content. Also, the backer copies were signed by the creators involved.
EC, for this year, actually does have content differences. The backer copy has a magic item included.
Carcosa has already been reprinted once. I would imagine both would be up for reprints someday, but don’t know for sure.
Tower of the Stargazer - good old school dungeon crawl with some LotFP twists.
Death Frost Doom - put LotFP on the map, dungeon crawl meets horror.
No Salvation For Witches - lots of NPCs interactions, horror, and gonzo.
Doom-Cave of the Crystal-Headed Children - super gonzo, full on LotFP, and FREE!
I recommend checking them out and seeing which will work with your group. I’ve run them all and the players enjoyed them.
He is only selling these books at the con b/c they’re small soft covers. He has experimented with various types of releases: PWYW, crowdfunding rewards, free rpg day, bonuses only for ordering from his webstore, 1 day only releases, limited runs, reprints, and special versions of certain books.
Point is, don’t assume this is the end of shipping. He’s just doing something different for these releases.
Sorry I made an assumption that US distribution would help you. I have nothing to offer you on that front!
The Facebook page gives the impression that the postal rates are pushing him out of business, except at cons.
A great shame. I would be willing to pay more for postage if I had to. I already pay double when I buy from Goodman games. I only don't buy more from them because I don't like their stuff as much as LotFP.
I don't think he'll stop shipping books any time soon, but there probably does need to be a change if LotFP is going to gain more access to oversea customers. There was talk among some Facebook users to look into helping out by providing a U.S. based distribution center.
I'm with you though - I'll still pay the high shipping rates to get the books as long as I need to.
I think probably the best places to look are: OSR, D&D, LotFP forums on G+; similar or same forums on Facebook. They both are pretty active and I bet you can find some people who are interested in PBP.
I'm pretty sure that DFD will get a reprint eventually. Any of the top selling books that aren't limited in some way will likely get reprinted as long as there's demand.
FFS may not ever come back in print. Raggi mentioned a while back that he had a plan to offload all his remaining copies (not sure if he did that or not) but to me that communicates that he had too much leftover and/or it was a slow seller or for whatever other reason he didn't want to keep it in stock as a regular LotFP book.
Not sure what's up with DLD. If it was advertised as a limited release or was part of a crowdfunding reward, it likely won't get reprinted either.
I agree with you though, I'd love to see all of the out of print stuff come back! I'd also love a reworking of Pembrooktonshire and The Grinding Gear in the style of Death Frost Doom.
Correct, LotFP assumes real world deities and religions. (This is how I play it.)
England upturn’d has alignments and religions for England in the 17th century.
Another OSR resource you could use if you want to stray from strictly real world religions (along with 1E Deities and Demigods) is Petty Gods:
Sorry, my suggestion was serious. If you continue the pattern of modifiers, it seems like it would be at least +1 for each step beyond 18 (which would equal +10). If you used a "roll under Wisdom" check mechanic, with a failure only on a 20, then the character would succeed on 95% of their Wisdom checks (or 100% if you don't incorporate any auto failure). So a +10 or +20 honestly doesn't seem to make much difference to me...especially since they'll be swarmed by demons in a few weeks.
Let the player have their fun before they suffer. 
All three of those books you're reading are great and really hooked me on this game. For the past month, I've been running two LotFP sessions per week!
Shipping to the US from the LotFP store is like it's own random generator chart. I've had stuff come within two weeks, and other stuff it took two months, even when shipped from the store within a short amount of time. I've probably ordered about a dozen times and have never NOT gotten something, so just be patient if it doesn't come right away.
D30s didn't exist, or were hard to come by when the RECG was originally published, and this one is mostly a word-for-word reprint. To do what it says, you would roll a 1d3 (so a d6, but you halve the result) and if you roll a 1, then you'd use the first set of 10, a 2 would indicate the second set, and a 3 the third set. The d10 tells you which one out of each set you use. There are also d16s available to use for the "Plant" chart on this page.
Seems like +10 at the least, right? I mean, what can it hurt? Give him plus 20 if he wants
Also, I created an unofficial FAQ at my blog to help new players. You might find it useful:

And then you should check out some of the other blogs linked to there, as they're updated more frequently than mine! 
Yea, already snagged the 6 free things though I am kinda confused as to where FRPGD 2015 is. I got the 2 adventure pdfs from 2013 and 2014, 2016 had SLUGS and 2017 had Vaginas are Magic!, where is the FRPGD material for 2015? did LotFP not put out anything that year?
You're correct, there was one year where LotFP didn't do Free RPG Day. I think there was too much else going on that year or something.
Character sheet: you can google it, or use the veins of the earth one on the main LotFP page (see below).
I think there are a growing number of players in the US, but the best way to go about it is to find some gamers and get them into the game yourself.
New Referee book is in the works, and will hopefully be out soon, but not sure how soon.
Those free rpg day releases will not be found cheap in print, and are currently not available from the store. (You can get PDFs for free, see below.)
You can’t change the currency, but google can help with this too. Just type in the euro amount and “U.S. conversion” to see what you’ll be paying. When you buy stuff, the conversion will be automatic.
I assume you’ve been here, but just in case, on the right side of the page are links to all the free stuff: http://www.lotfp.com/RPG/
Hardback only. The only difference you’ll find between copies is that some have a bookmark ribbon to designate those that paid higher than the threshold during the PWYW crowdfund.

I overlooked something myself. Have a lookt at p. 152 of the Player Core Book: Scattershot. Combine that with an arquebus and you have a blunderbuss, I guess. Or declare that a blunderbuss is an arquebus that cannot fire anything but scattershot (due to the barrel). Reduce the price to 20 sp (and out-rule any firearm options at a whim). Should work.
p152 of what? I looked LOTFP book and 5E PHB- cant find it.
In my LotFP R&M book, it’s page 157 and 164 where scattershot is discussed.
I put it there. The witch hunter was using it as evidence of witchcraft and was torturing the “witch” to get a confession. The PCs showed up and had to figure out how to deal with this.
greg:
1. its $3, and absolutely worth reading
2. ynn eventually gives the players a doorway out, so however long theyre trapped there will be how long we play it. in other words, it will be good for as many sessions as it lasts. also I can just fudge it and give them a doorway out early
I'm curious what y'all are talking about...could one of you e-mail me the title? Thanks!
I'm sceptical of the internet, vs. actual books. And the rules of english are clear:
Octopus - Octopi
Nucleus - Nuclei
Chorus - Chori
Arquebus - Arquebi
Since English is derived from so many languages, the rules are rarely clear.
Campus - campuses
Virus - viruses
Chorus - choruses
Status - statuses

Also.. regarding removing attribute mods ill have to think about how I feel about that. My gut reaction is that its a bad idea, and that someone with 18 strength ought to hit harder than someone with 10. Then again, with all skills being a 6 sided and with saves no longer being d20 based (meaning you probably wouldnt be applying mods for future save systems) I could see attribute mods being stripped out. Then again my 18 strength character should probably get a bonus for attempting to grapple a guy with 8 strength, and my archer with 18 dex should probably shoot more accurately than someone with 9 dex. It also means everyone but a fighter will lack any combat modifiers and really just amount to a feeling of lack of distinction between non fighters. Every character will be just as unremarkable and vanilla as the other regardless of attributes.
Ill have to think about it a bit and post my thoughts later..
I believe they will still be provided in the rulebook and/or rules/suggestions for how to deal with them when they appear in modules. I still include them on my character sheet b/c they show up a lot in D&D modules, but I don't have their use built into my current rule set.
