Announcing Sinister Adventures, LLC: A New RPG Adventure Publisher
Fan favorite Dungeon Magazine™ and Pathfinder™ author Nicolas Logue announces Sinister Adventures, LLC, an adventure publisher dedicated to delivering the very finest RPG modules in multiple game systems.
New York, NY, April 1st, 2008.

Fan favorite Dungeon Magazine™ and Pathfinder™ author Nicolas Logue announces Sinister Adventures, LLC, an adventure publisher dedicated to making the very finest RPG modules available in multiple game systems, including 3.5 OGL, True20™, Runequest™, d20 Modern™, d20 Future™, Bulldogs™, the Dawning Star™ setting and more! Nick and Sinister have tapped some of the best known adventure authors of the world’s most popular fantasy role playing game – including Wolfgang Baur, Jason Bulmahn, Tim Hitchcock, Michael Kortes, Richard Pett, Greg A. Vaughan and others – to deliver two product lines: a fantasy line, titled Dark Vistas and a sci-fi/horror line, titled Dark Horizons. The lines will be illustrated by some of the industry’s most beloved artists, including Aaron Acevedo, Richard Clark, Andrew Hou, Wayne Reynolds and Kevin Yan.

The Sinister Adventure web site (www.sinisteradventures.com) is live now and offers an entire line of inexpensive pdf products by top name authors, called Indulgences (available at www.sinisteradventures.com/index.php/indulgences). The first four Indulgences, written by Wolfgang Baur, Nicolas Logue, Craig Shackleton and Greg A. Vaughan offer GMs everything they need to kick off a high seas adventure campaign and explore the cold reaches of the ocean’s deepest rifts.

The company’s core products will be available on the site as both PDF download and print, starting in June, 2008 with their Dark Vista flagship 130+ page mega-adventure, Razor Coast, by Nicolas Logue. Dark Horizons will follow in August of 2008 with its innovative space horror adventure Cold Black, by Nicolas Logue and Lou Agresta. Preorders for both lines are now available.

Dark Vista mega-adventures include a built-in mini-campaign setting and take players through many layers of story and adventure, but do it non-linearly! Built on a plot web, instead of the standard linear approach, Dark Vista mega-adventures yield the widest possible range of play experiences and offer an unheralded degree of fluidity of play. Moreover, when you buy any Dark Vista or Dark Horizon adventure you also get PDF versions of the full adventure in all the other game systems available.

To deliver on their plan, Nicolas Logue and Sinister Adventures will also tap the Werecabbages, a freelance RPG writer’s guild that includes rising star authors like Lou Agresta, Rone Barton, Tim and Eileen Connors, Liz Courts, Phil Larwood, James MacKenzie, Greg Oppedisano, Craig Shackleton, and Brendan Victorson.

Going forward, look to the Sinister Adventures web site for more than just product. Sinister will soon announce the Spawn of Dajobas contest. A 1,000 word 3.5 OGL open call monster design contest, the winner of which will receive $100.00 and be included in the forthcoming Dark Vista adventure Shrine of Frenzy, written by Brendan Victorson and illustrated by Kevin Yan.

Wow. I must say - after a quick glance around your site - the artwork, layout, and presentation looks absolutely stunning. I can't take the palm of victory away from Paizo for being the best in the industry at those things, but your stuff looks to be of that caliber - or better!

Come to 4E, and you'll get my ducats.

Oh man! Can a mod move this for me if I'm in the wrong place? Sorry!

I can't come to 4E Wis! I wish I had the option! But nay without a GSL, I do not! :(

But I'll gladly dance a fine jig for your ducats! :D

Tell you what - as sharp as this stuff appears on the web site, coupled with your past adventures, and - of course - the promise of a jig...I think we've got a deal.

It looks way too sharp to be an April Fool's hoax... is this for real? I don't really dare get my hopes up on a day like today.

If its a hoax it cost me a whole year of freelance pay! Egads I hope its not a hoax!!! :(

:D

It's as real as it gets my man!
 

Congrats, man. :) Question, though.

What about if/when the GSL is out? (And assuming, of course, it doesn't for some reason prevent you from doing so.) Do you plan to include 4E material then?

If the GSL allows it, you bethca Ari! I'd love for you to write some of it in fact! :)

But for now...its all about the 3.5 OGL, True 20, Castles and Crusades, and other open source material.

There's room enough for all games in Sinister!
