Fantasy game design crept up on Lou in 2005, when Diamondthrone accepted his first articles on true names.
Until then a writer of travelogues (AAA World Magazine), indie comics (Maelstrom Entertainment, 1996), fashion essays, and self-indulgent philosophy tracts, his more recent adventure credits include:
Paizo Publishing
The Great City Campaign Setting (contributing author)
The Bloody Fix (with Rone Barton)

PC Pearls (contributing author)

A Special Guest at Paizocon 2009, Lou is an editor, author and developer for Sinister Adventures, and a member of the Werecabbages freelance writer's guild. He also makes guest appearances as Cthu-Lou on the Atomic Array podcast.
Dungeon Magazine acquired his first adventure - written with Nicolas Logue - then canceled the magazine, leaving Lou forever haunted by the fear he is somehow responsible. Lou lives in upstate NY with his wife, daughter, a dog, and a couple of horses. While he has sometimes worn a kilt and ridden a tractor, no one has ever caught him doing both.
