New and Exciting #9: Lou gets Sinister

Just a quick note to say I've taken the task of midwifing (sp?) Nick Logue's Sinister magnum opus, Razor Coast. This means editor and production manager. Read about it here.

New & Exciting #8: Whats Up with Lou (Sort of)

This is going to be a weird post, because I'm not yet permitted to be specific about many of the new and exciting things in my RPG life. Additionally, about half of what's going on is in the form of proposals. Nonetheless, I don't want weeks without an update, so here's what's going on to the extent I can discuss it:

1. Greg A. Vaughan and I submitted a proposal for a 2-part adventure to a publisher we admire. With luck, a Greg Lou collaboration prepares to ambush my future.

2. I was asked to submit and submitted a proposal to a prolific Cthulu publisher. With luck there may be some more Cthulu in my future.

3. I'm in talks with another publisher about a sandbox campaign setting.

-- see what I mean about how informative this all is? --

4. I've committed to running a larg-ish tournament at Gencon this year, provided the event receives convention approval.

5. I actually started the novel I've been planning for so long I'm embarrassed.

6. I'm in the process of writing six short scripts for a not-to-be-named comics publisher, covering two original storylines. This isn't a done deal, but keep your fingers crossed.

7. I've taken on the editorial, co-ordination, and publishing task to help Sinister Adventures deliver their overdue, flagship project Razor Coast.

And my wife and I are expecting a baby boy in mid March!

Cthu Lou in Print

My scenario, Snows of an Early Winter, made it to print. Tasty!

Regrets for the lack of activity. I've been terribly busy: proposals for more Cthulu, proposals for swashbuckling adventures, proposals for two comics (keep your fingers crossed) including a completed script. Plus, my wife is due in March, the run-up for which is keeping life busy.

And I dislike the winter. It makes everything tougher. *sigh*

Some sweet reviews coming your way, soon. Might be computers and Cthulu. *whistles*

Game on!

Unofficial Call of Cthu-Lou: Snows of an Early Winter

A couple of folks popping around the Yog-Sothoth board were wondering about maps and referents for my new Call of Cthulu adventure, Snows of an Early Winter. In response, I promised I'd post a few of the diagrams and pictures I used to keep myself honest while writing, and here they are:

Hope this enhances everyone's fun -- even if you just laugh at my bad sketch.

PS I'd just like to state again that NOTHING IN WHAT FOLLOWS IS AUTHORIZED, ENDORSED, OR OTHERWISE SUPPORTED BY SUPERGENIUS. This is just me posting up some cool stuff for people to play around with at home. It's not canon, it's not anything. Shites and gigglies, nothing more.

Snows of an Early Winter came in #9 on the RPG (top 10) Countdown. This is a bi-weekly podcast that tracks the hottest sellers in the RPG universe. By my understanding its the only show out there attempting to make an honest, analytical assessment of the industry's top sellers. I'm really stoked. Check it out!
