Lou Agresta Bio and Bibliography

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:

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.

New Adventure

I've a new adventure coming out, with Greg Oppedisano. Greg's a great guy and a fellow Werecabbage. On this piece he's a developer: keeping me in check, contributing cool ideas, doing editing, making design decisions. The piece is called Blood on the Waterfront, and it kicks off Louis Porter Jr Design's new adventure line, Sidetrek Adventure Weekly. It's not for sale just yet, but I've seen the proof, and it made me so frickin' excited! For now, if you pop out to the publisher's website http://www.lpjdesign.com/ you can read the pres release. When the piece itself is for sale, I'll post again!
