I Really Don't Think the Logue Sleeps

Purple dragon, Devil and Merchant Prince, deathcap, arms of Zobeck, Raven wings, English scribe, black blood, Arabian Caliph, Jiro Logo, Eagle Ludwigs, Codex Red and Blue, Arabian Knife Fight, Coat of Arms Rooster and Bear, Golden Sun & Star, Green light, Book of Kells lettering, maps, Blue griffon, Genie, Ghouls, Medusa, Scáthsidhe, D&D 4E logo, Fetch cheese!, KQ Logo, Dire sheep, blood calligraphy, blood, Heraldry Germany, Council of 12, Nicolas Logue, Open Design Logo 2, OD Green Logo, Last call clock, Kobold
You know, between writing the Blood of the Gorgon, some 4E freelancing, the leadoff for the Crimson Throne, and now, oh, launching a whole new game company, I'm fairly certain that Nicolas Logue is a caffeine-powered robot. There's just no other logical explanation.

And yes, while it is April Fool's Day, the launch of Sinister Games is very serious indeed. The site is super-slick, the first wave of products is super-sweet (including a mini-download on Death Beneath the Waves by yours truly), and he's going in directions that most designers would fear to tread (think dark Gothic cults and horror crossed with nautical and piratical themes) — and he makes them work.

Check it out. Tell the robot I sent ya.

(P.S. Yes, yes, I'm insanely jealous of his sweet site design. Moving on.)

Kudos to the Logue!
That's quite the nice venture he's set up. I'm on a bit of a sci-fi kick of late (comes from trying to collect all those Alternity promo materials and old Gamma World stuff), so I'll keep my eye on the Dark Horizons stuff.

Good luck, Nick!

He also just took a full-time job at Paizo running Pathfinder Society! Does he have robot doubles like Dr. Doom?

Thanks Ben!
You were my very first real customer! For that you must have something for free! Don't buy the next wave of Indulgences next month. I'm sending you a free pack of them.

Glad to hear you liked this month's offerings!

The Logue never sleeps . . . he just waits for the next day.

I also heard he actually bleeds guayaki.

To sleep, perchance to play a Logue dream
Fantastic site, is there the possibility that these will be available in print format because I would prefer paying that price than getting a download.
is there a "campaign" view as to where the locations can be from an Eberron/Forgotten Realms/GREYHAWK point of view? (note the subliminal advertising)

Bottom lone I would prefer to pay for good formatted adventures. Especially now that Idont support WoTC

Congrats!
Just checked out the site (and created an account). I'm in... Can't say how thrilled I am that great 3.5 content is continuing from some of my favorite authors and companies.

Logue and Pett working on the same project ....

In the immortal words of the Ghostbusters:

Dr Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

This is awesome.
Just saw the site for Sinister Adventures and I am very pleased with what you are doing. When your Robo Doubles take over the world, using capital gained from unsuspecting GM's of good taste, please be merciful to us.

Been there (your new - and friggin great!) site), done that (immediately bought Wave One). Now I'm waiting for the mail... :o)

A few thoughts, even before reading through the products: Keep them small, theme-focused and cheap!

Of course I can speak only for myself, so perhaps the majority of customers has a completely different opinion,...but: I prefer small "building blocks" that I can use for my own campaigns. Super-adventures might be fun and all, but they don't give me, the creative head behind the campaign, the flexibility I love. So I like small stuff that I can insert when I want, where I want and how I want.

Expect more feedback after I've been through "Wave One".

...oh, and by the way: Can you tell what number of customer I (username "Tauster") I am? I'm asking to be able to brag with it, when in a few years you'll be one of the industry's leading companies and buy up WotC. ;o)

Hey Nick!

I was gonna post this on your boards, but I'm having problems (might be my computer)... So here it is.

I just bought Wave one. I looks very nice!!! I will start reading as soon as I leave work!!

Just a LITTLE nit-pick here. I would add page numbering to the PDFs cos once printed if I misplace them or something... Like I said, nothing major. Maybe it's just me...
