Nick,
I apologize if this has been answered already, but if you preorder stuff on your site through PayPal, will it bill right away? I ask because I've already spent my discretionary (gaming) funds for this (next) month but I have an eye on the Ebon Shroud. Thanks.
Sadly it does bill right away! Can't get it to reserve an order without billing, dang thang.
Ebon Shroud will wait for you Prince, fear not! :-)

No worries Nick, it will be mine!

Oh yes! It WILL be yours! :-)
Can we get an estimate on just how sinister these adventures will be, possibly quantified in moustache twirls?
Well...
Razor Coast is approximately 752 moustache twirls and 54 "MUUUUUUUHAHAHAHAHA"s.
Now with Rich pitching in on Ebon Shroud we are talking 1034 moustache twirls, 67 "MUUUUUUUUHAHAHAHAHA"s and one very Cheshire Cat like evil grin...not to mention, a damsel tied to the train tracks (you decide whether we ravaged her virtue or not...its left up to the imagination, just like in the old time silent films).
Nick, I was devastated to hear that your "major characters from Sinister Adventures" action figure line got recalled when it came out that each of these toys was actually the shrunken body of a forgotten hair metal band member.
I am positive that my Jacob Razor figure is just a tiny dead Mark Slaughter with pasted-on moustache.
In hindsight, you probably shouldn't have hired a Jivaro clan chief/jazz fan as your head of production.
True 20 pdfs will be offered for every Dark Vista and Dark Horizon. The fun thing is that if you buy one version, you'll get the others free anyways. So buy a print book of True 20 and you'll get the OGL 3.5 compatible as well as Runequest and other systems as I acquire the licenses. If you buy Razor Coast and I get new licenses, I'll do updates of it later and send you copies of those pdfs too.
Thanks! That sounds very cool indeed.
Sorry, last question: will there be a True20 pdf offered for any of the "Indulgences?"

Maybe later, but not at present. I'm looking at the possibility of offering come multi-versions of the Indulgences in the future.

I still hope you can get something worked out with ICE to do Rolemaster and Harp versions. I mentioned you to them on their forum.
I've been getting creamed with work lately Mistress, but as soon as I get a spare moment I'll totally jump on this and see if I can on board with someone over there! Thanks for posting on the forums! Hope some awesome collaboration comes out of it!

No worries, personally i feel that is the biggest thing hurting HARP and RM right now. No adventures for them, makes it require a lot more effort on the part of a GM to run the games. unless they do what I do which is just buy Paizo and other D20 stuff and convert it. But it would sure be easier to have some ready made. :)

Nick! You madman! What system will Dark Horizens be for?Many, many systems! I'm not even kidding! OGL D20 Future for snizzle, but we'll also be doing other versions (not even conversions, full on versions baby!).
Nicolas, have you had a chance to check out the news of the new WotC GSL? Will you be creating a new product line for 4E? Even though I plan to run 4E campaign(s), if your new products, which have to be separate from your OGL/RQ/yaddayadda would be a in great 3.x/PFRPG, I'll do the necessary conversion for such games. Heck, and maybe even post them here at Paizo :)

Awesome!
I'd LOVE to do 4E versions of every mega-adventure (Dark Vistas and Dark Horizons) and if I do, they'll be available for free to anyone who buys ANY version.
However if the GSL doesn't allow this, I can't. If it's possible to put out separate lines under the GSL, I may put out a 32 pager or two intro adventures for 4E. I'll have to wait and see how that rascally GSL shakes out.
He knows better than to sleep, i already warned him and the rest on Sinister Adventures forum. What I thought about them having free time or sleeping.
Do you sleep?
Ha! I'll sleep plenty when I'm dead! :-)
Actually, last night I got a solid 12 hours and it was awesome...much needed. I hadn't slept in three days.
Just another pimp.. For those who are timid about checking out another gaming company.. DON'T BE! Go to Sinister Adventures and check out the site! More gaming goodness for 3.5ers! Sci-fi goodies coming up, which is a long time coming I might add.
Not only that! He's recruited some nice writers to help him out!
So check Nick and co's stuff out... Especially the Indulgences! You won't be disappointed. June, July and August are going to have some nice releases from Sinister.. So stop on by and reconnoiter, glance, gaze, take a gander!

Thanks Greengrunt!!!
Speaking of Indulgences! This month's batch is up!
Pett captured Nick shortly after his arrival in the UK. Since then he has been trapped in his basement undergoing excruciating experiments. A team to retrieve our fallen companion has been assembled, but we're trying to sell enough work to afford the plane tickets before his mind is totally devoured.
There is a thread in the OTHER RPG forum where Nicholas pops in to sort of answer this question. I think his response is something along the lines of:
His move to the UK combined with lots of work meant that he decided to push the projects back a little to avoid them being rushed. Razor Coast should be first along, and may even be in the next month or two.
Anyway, I too am waiting for Razor Coast, but I want to get a hard copy so will wait for Lulu or Paizo or someone to offer a hard copy.

Correct sir! We've been having some technical difficulties with the site too. And yes, we are apparently hacker-licious! :-)
We're working on getting these things sorted though, so hopefully Razor Coast comes out soon, and then the other projects meandering in limbo can usher towards the light as well. Thanks for your patience lords and ladies.
Thanks for the response Nick. With all the great stuff coming from Paizo I have a steady stream of excellence coming to me so I am happy to wait for the Razor Coast etc.- So from my POV dont rush them, just make them excellent and dont go any more insane due to too much work.
I just wanted to know this stuff hadn't disappeared.
Are you able to give an idea of the current release schedule for 2009?
Hi Werecorpse!
Well, I was hoping to have Razor Coast into layout by the first week of January, but the computer I brought with me to Buffalo just went kaput. Sucks. I have backups of everything, but they are in my apartment in London. So, Razor Coast may see another delay. Once Razor Coast gets out, I've got a slew of material that just needs some editing and some art commissioned and then they can go to layout too. Most likely it will look something like this:
Dark Vistas #1: Razor Coast - February/March
Waves of Indulgences - two new waves in March
Known Universe Gaz - Spring
Dark Horizons #1: Cold Black - Spring
Dark Vistas #2: Ebon Shroud - Fall
Dark Vistas #3: The Haunted Hills of Harrowfar - Winter
I hope to be able to stick to that new schedule up top. So frustrated that my laptop went down. I really wanted to get RC into layout next week. Ugh.

Arrrgh! I bought me a pre order of Razor Coast months ago! I do hope future delays are short as I am looking forward to this very much! And if you gather all the indulgences into a special companion volume, let us know please! I'd love to use Razor Coast with Freeport and Pathfinder for an extra-special campaign world.
I shall scribe like the wind! Thanks for hanging in there everyone!

Pirates and all their swashbuckling goodness has been something I have been into for a very long time. Now add in elements that allow me to add in my more recent Tiki obsession as you have done as you have so far whetted my appetite and you have whipped up a mental dish that parts of my mind are salivating for. Which is why I'm glad I have a copy already purchased.
