Lost artifacts and family ties: The plan to save Infinite Black

David LaRocca, the owner and lead artist of Infinite Black, has launched a “Resurrection” inventory sale to fund the company’s survival following an alleged catastrophic inventory theft. Operating from a new, family-run warehouse in Jemison, Alabama, the designer is selling “lost” stock discovered during a chaotic transition from a previous fulfilment partner.

The move comes after a period of significant instability for the studio, which specialises in Lovecraftian-themed accessories and roleplaying games. Following the discovery that a major portion of their inventory had been moved and sold without permission, Infinite Black was forced to postpone the launch of their highly anticipated Nocturnus project. David LaRocca has since documented the emotional toll of the crisis in a series of videos titled A Difficult Chapter and The Bottom, describing the company’s current state as a fight for its very existence.

The Resurrection of Eldritch Artefacts

The “Resurrection” title of the new web store section serves a dual purpose. While it refers to the “long-lost” items unearthed during the relocation, including out-of-print dice sets and limited edition art, it also represents the literal attempt to resurrect the company. The stock was recovered from “mountains of terribly disorganised boxes” shipped to Alabama after David LaRocca pulled all remaining assets from third-party hands to gain direct control over his legacy.

This transition has not been without technical friction. Customers recently reported receiving confusing automated notifications regarding orders placed years ago.

David LaRocca, Owner/Artist at Infinite Black, said in a statement,

I’ve been cleaning up our order system, and in doing so, many of you recently received an automated email or two regarding an order you placed a long time ago. Please go ahead and disregard those messages. That was my bad.”

A Family-Run Recovery in Alabama

The shift to Jemison, Alabama, marks a significant change in the company’s business model. Previously reliant on high-volume fulfilment centres, Infinite Black has become a local, family-operated affair. Elizabeth LaRocca and the couple’s daughter, Natalie, have taken the lead on warehouse management, physically sorting through the “disorganised mess” left by previous contractors.

This hyper-local approach is a tactical retreat designed to stabilise the brand before attempting to fulfil the promises of the Nocturnus line. By selling directly from their own hands, the family aims to bypass the “silent” supply chain issues that contributed to the recent disappearance of inventory.

Looking ahead, the studio is preparing a smaller-scale Kickstarter campaign titled Doomsday. This project is expected to act as a financial bridge, allowing the team to maintain operations while they navigate the legal and logistical complexities of their missing stock. For a fan base that has remained notably supportive during the “emotional bottom” of the crisis, the Resurrection sale offers a rare chance to claim pieces of the company’s history while directly funding its future.
