Mysteries of the Razor Sea
by Nicolas Logue
14 page PDF adventure and supplement
Unspeakable terrors and rancorous gods hold sway over the turbulent waves of the sea. The Razor Coast swallows ships and souls by the thousand, and terrible secrets the oceans keep haunt the dreams of every salty mariner who plies their waves. This PDF kicks off with The Tale of The Seabear, a 1st level adventure of survival horror aboard a mysterious ghost ship cursed by dark gods. The Tale of the Seabear is the perfect opener for any campaign of mystery, horror and adventure on the high seas, and a great way to ensorcel your PCs into the murky evil of Dark Vistas #1: Razor Coast. Besides, The Tale of the Seabear, this PDF also includes other mysteries of the Razor Sea, a series of encounters, adventure hooks and nasty surprises for any sea-faring campaign.
Still Waters
by Richard Pett
16 page PDF adventure
Blacksink Marsh has always had an ill reputation. The thorns that grow there are poisonous, beasts and changed things rove the waters, lurking in wait for foolish travelers, and the twisted descendants of an accursed tribe hunt beneath the dark canopy of black willow trees. Explorers tell of strange crumbling buildings suddenly happened upon at dusk and vanishing with the last red rays of the sun, and gators who walk on two legs and drown men from a far with a mere glance. Something has risen from the mire and walked clumsily onto the lands of men. This broken creature from a bygone age of slaughter, wants to praise its dead god the only way it knows how – by drowning the children of his enemies in a mournful temple sunk beneath the bog – a stinking wet hell of weed, silt and slime where hungry things crawl and the dead refuse to lay buried. Still Waters is a harrowing adventure into the mires of Blacksink marsh suitable for four to six 6th level PCs, and includes two new monsters.
Shrine of Frenzy
by Brendan Victorson and David Posener
14 page PDF adventure
A recent earthquake churned the waters and left them changed, the seas seem swelled with a frenzy not known in recent history. Strange rumors of a shrine risen from the depths of a forbidden cove put the Tulita tribes of the Razor on edge. Some say a sleeping god has woken and set its red gaze on the Razor once more. The sea whirls with serrated teeth and coarse fins, sharks circle by the thousand, as if something is calling these killers to the coastline. A time of great slaughter is at hand. Shrine of Frenzy is an aquatic dungeon crawl for four to six PCs of 7th level and features a new monster, the winning entry of the Create the Spawn of Dajobas contest.
The Warrior’s Way
by Nicolas Logue
7 page PDF supplement
The Tulita of the Razor Coast were born where the fire meets the sea, and they possess both in their hearts...the burning power of their mother Pele, and the ancient changeless wisdom of the Great Eternal Ocean. The warrior tradition of the Tulita is a mystery to most foreigners. They wield no steel, scorn the foul-smelling smoke of gunpowder, and many carry no weapons but their bare hands, simple scrimshaw knives or koa wood clubs, and yet the few foreigners who have witnessed a Tulita’s hamala’kal, or heart of fire, knows just what these proud warriors are capable of. The Warrior’s Way is evolved from a thousand years of warfare, self-cultivation, and quiet observance of the raw and unforgiving power of the Earth itself. Those trained in its mysteries are no longer men or women; they become a force of nature instead. This PDF supplement offers players and gamemasters alike a bevy of new combat options for their martial characters, including 12 new feats, alternate class features, new weapons, and a new basic attack option.

These sound great, Nick! I can't wait to read them.
Rock Zoocat! Hope you enjoy em!
WARsome! I can't wait to give these a read. Keep up the good work!
Sweet! Can't wait to hear what you think Lazaro!
Are these going to be available here at Paizo again, and if so, when?
all of nick's writting goodness, and the warrior's way cover has boobies!

They will be! Soon! I'm a little swamped with some things right now, but I'll get them up there in a week or so!

Boobies! Indeed! National Geographical style!
Nice canons.
Hey Nick. Any chance of seeing these in print form? Or do I have to take them to Kinkos? (BTW, I am proud of you for having the guts to do this, Nick!)

Rock! Thanks Sharoth!
I will indeed be compiling these in print format at a later date. These compilations will also include new Indulgences and supplemental material as well. Anyone who bought the waves as PDFs will get a significant discount on the compilations though, so if anyone out there bought the PDFs and are gnashing your teeth, don't sweat it! You'll pretty much just be paying for the printing fees and the new material (and a nominal fee so I have something to pay for the extra layout work) when you buy the compilations if you've already been sinning with us regularly! :-)

~feels myself hurled against the wall and my arm twisting behind me while Nick whispers to me "You will buy these! Or else!"~ Ok! Ok! You have twisted my arm enough!
Nick, Wave 2 looks good, really good.
I love that you're putting out quality Side Trek style adventures. Keep 'em coming.
Will do my man! Every month's Indulgence content will change a bit here and there, but there will always be adventures. In general I will listen to what you all want and do my best to serve it up hot!
This month's was adventure heavy, but the next wave may be less so, or the same. Its up to you all! :-)
Eyebite = one vote for more adventures!
I have to admit, Nick. I like fatasy, but I LOVE Sci-Fi! I am so looking foreward to your Dark Horizons line. ~drool, drool~ Keep up the good work, you slacker you! ~grins~

I'll second this. Really looking forward to your Dark Horizons stuff.
I also hope to see a new Sinister Challenge for your Dark Horizons line eventually.

Rock! I do too! I actually play more Sci-Fi in my home games than I do fantasy usually! I love gritty dark sci-fi. I just rewatched Alien last night...homigods! I love that flick!

Of course you love that flick. You are part Alien yourself. That explains the horrible nightmares you give people after they run through one of your adventures.

Downloaded Still Waters,...
every time I skim a adventure by Pett, I get this evil villain laugh, interspersed with "snorts." It's creepy. I disturb myself...
And, I have a group on my pbp within walking distance of the Hool Marshes, as well as....other things...I am not at liberty to disclose. Mwahahahaha!!!

I'm really grokking this Razor Coast thing. The Spawn of Dajobas contest had me wracking my brain, and I came up with two really whacked out encounter monsters for my troubles.
Neither really worked as a "Spawn" per se, but in the spirit of Shub Niggurath, it spawned a few more freaks along the way...

The full on Spawn of Dajobas is the BBEG of Shrine of Frenzy, a sweet and savage little adventure by Brendan Victorson in this wave of Indulgences. Brendan is my co-author on Obsidian Eye waaaaaaaay back in Dungeon 120, and he's been cranking out awesomeness for 0one games and a few other publishers since. I dig his style!

I've said it several times on these boards - Obsidian Eye is one of my favorite adventures of all time. Easily in my top 5.
Nick, I've always wanted to know - who created Harbinger? He's one of my favorite NPCs *ever*

B-man and I came up with him together! I added his tentacle. Mio was all B-man though! He's one of my favorite co-writers! He's not just a pretty face or an adventure designer either, he winds serious writing contests all the time and got a free trip to Japan for winning this essay writing contest during which he was a guest of the government over there. He's pretty much a genius. We are also working on a screenplay together right now too, that may very well see production! More news on this front later in the summer!
So, after the October collaboration with Richard Pett, any ideas about the next one?
Dark Vistas #3: The Haunted Hills of Harrowfar by Greg A. Vaughan
Awwwww yeah! I just said it. Badass!
So, after the October collaboration with Richard Pett, any ideas about the next one?

Maybe soon!
Just another shout in support of your work, Nick! (This shout is accompanied by an order off your site, so it's not just moral support).
Can't wait for Razor Coast to come out too...
Or Blood of the Gorgon...
[do you even sleep?]
I finally slept a bunch yesterday and last night actually. It was AWESOME!!! :-)
Thanks for the shout out Sothrim! Hope you dig the Indulgences!!!

Read the Still Waters Pett swampventure.
Good stuff.
I really grokked the architecture in the "dungeon" as it were; really interesting, really well described. You guys really do neat stuff with the rules and with the environment of a setpiece; trying not to go spoily on this.
Nice monstres too....great backstorys on the critters in question.

Thanks Heath!
One of my biggest design goals was a half sunken temple broken apart by the swamp's incursion over hundreds of years. Rich delivered the goods and then some. I love what he did with this.
Rock! Glad you dig on the monsters! The Karikanti figure into Razor Coast some more as well!
it wasn't me I tell you...
it wasn't me I tell you...
I hope not...cause I HATE praising your work on this thread! I hope it was some OTHER Rich Pett!
;-)

And you can't always do that in China...at least you couldn't where I lived sometimes...water rationing. ;-)
