Just saying.
Check out one of Razor Coast's deadly NPCs named Old Fish, a vicious old fisherman with a dark past who might end up backing your PCs' play or spitting them on dagger point in the dark.
He's got some sinister tricks up his sleeve, and your PCs can buy em for the right price.
Nice NPC Nick! I am eagerly awaiting Razor Coast, and this teaser just affirms my preorder was worth it!
Keep up the good work.

Here's a copy/paste of the text:
Old Fish’s history is unclear, but one thing is certain to those few in the know - he was once a very talented killer. Retired from the business of death now, he sells his skills as an artisan of specialty weapons and items, arming Port Shaw’s ever growing army of less than reputable rogues and shady cutthroats. The collapsed warehouse wallowing in the waves below his fishing supply establishment is a deadly workshop. There he toils by lamp-light, crafting the most deadly secrets of assassins and murderers. His tricks of the trade are masterfully designed and highly effective. Rogues of Port Shaw rely on his deadly wares to give them an edge. Here’s a taste of the many nasty surprises Old Fish offers.
Spike Launcher: The launcher houses a steel spring-loaded spike, launched via a tiny release button, hurling the sharpened steel spike at a foe. Rogues covet these deadly alterations to their sword hilts or an unassuming item, as it allows a fast unexpected sneak attack against a foe. The rogue may fire the pommel-housed launcher while his sword is sheathed by simply aiming the pommel at a foe, or even offer a dragoon the blade pommel first and launch the spike into their eye.
Needle Trap: Fish can build a pressure release needle trap into the hilt of a weapon, the grip of a pistol or any item other item. This remarkable design includes a hidden safety release, which Fish shows to his clients, allowing them to deactivate or reactivate the trap at will.
Concealed Weapon: Fish is skilled at constructing weapons that can appear to be an ordinary item. A lute that conceals a crossbow, a flute blowgun, a retractable dagger-blade housed in a scrollcase, etc.
Hangnail: This razor-sharp tiny steel crescent fits over a character’s thumb, and is designed to appear as nothing more than their thumbnail. The hangnail grants a +5 on any Sleight of Hand checks involving cutting purse strings or razoring a pocket, sack, pouch or backpack. Some unscrupulous brawlers will also coat it with injury poison to give them an upper hand in a match, and more than one assassin has used it to open a man’s throat.
Dual Compartmental Flask: This metal flask houses two separate compartments which can hold different unmixed fluids (usually one harmless, the other poisonous). The owner of this flask may drink freely from one cavity, and then with a simple subtle twist of the top switch the outlet to the other compartment before handing it to someone else to drink from.
Stealth Chain: Available as a shirt or full suit, black dwimmersilk strands are painstakingly sewn around it, sheathing every link of chain, concealing the metal, and muffling the clinking of the armor. The armor check penalty to Hide and Move Silenty checks for this armor is reduced to 0, though the full penalty still applies to all other skills.
Been looking forward to this one since it was announced. Old Fish looks like quite the badass, I don't s'pose you'd be willing to divulge what kind of class levels he possesses?
Ha...let's just say: Lots. ;-)
Edit: Good man Gene! There ya go Dragonmoon. You'll have to wait until you get home to see Fish's ugly mug.
The preview looks good and the thumbnail weapon sounds just plain vicious. Is it still looking like its on for release in October as I'm really looking forward to this.
Out of interest how well do you think The razor coast could be fitted into Golarion. I know there is a lot of guns but they can generally be replaced. How well does it fit theme wise? I'm getting the book anyways I just was wondering how easy it would be to shoehorn into Golarion as it is now my campaign setting of choice.

I think putting it among the Shackles would be a fairly easy fit. The guns could be minimized or removed altogether. There is a sidebar about this in Razor Coast actually. For me, the smoke and fire of black powder is all about atmosphere, more than it is unbalancing game mechanics. You'll see what I mean.

And here I thought it might be Pele's bodacious rack giving your server trouble. :-)

Anyone read the Asterix books, by Goscinny & Uderzo?
Their Gaulish village had a guy like this.
Unhygienix, and his wife Bacteria.
He specialised in poisonous fish, which could also be used as subdual weapons.
Ha...let's just say: Lots. ;-)That's enough for me! Always nice to have some powerful NPCs floating about to keep the PCs in line if need be. >: )
I also feel it should be mentioned that you have some amazing artists doing work for you. All of the art is simply awesome.
Thanks Gene! That piece (and Pele actually) are both by Cynthia Rimmer and she is amazing. You'll see loads of her work in Sinister products.
Nice NPC Nick! I am eagerly awaiting Razor Coast, and this teaser just affirms my preorder was worth it!
Keep up the good work.
Thanks Patrick! As we get closer to release now, I'll be slapping up more blog posts and teasers for ya!

Hey Hugo!
Do you mean a PDF of the book itself? If so, you get one for free as soon as the book ships...in fact you also get other PDFs too...you'll get a PDF copy of every version we eventually put out (True 20, Runequest, maybe even Burning Wheel...madness!).

Perfect! I'll put all my faith in you and place the preorder this month... Lets see if this puts a bit more preasure for that deadline ;P

GAH!
::Nick gets back to work!::
This definitely has "classic" written over it.
Yep, I wanted to go old school with Old Fish (pun!). He plays an a potentially very interesting role in the adventure though. I won't spoil it!
Cool stuff Nick!
See, those sleepness nights are working.
Oh, its ALL about the no sleep. :-)
Question 4 Nick: How can you manage a regular teacher Job and all the RPG stuff you are commissioned and publish?!

The no sleeping part helps.
Actually, Sinister stuff will be less aggressive next year. Probably a couple o' books and less Indulgences sadly. We'll see though. I do like to Indulge!

Well, I have high expectation on RC and Ebon Shrouds, so I'll guess that will keep me warm throught the year!

Ok, Nic, have to ask you here, as you didn't respond to eMails 'n' stuff...
Your Werecabbage buddy has preordered RC some time ago, but had some issues with PayPayl and a PC crashdown (the second this year - F$%$ VISTA). Anyway, the money is gone but I have no proof of the transaction. Could you please check, if all went well!
Thanx,
Tom
PS and hopefully, all the rest of RC rocks as the "old fishmonger"! ;)

I hope so too!
I have to really get cranking on it though. I think I might be able to get it out in time for the holidays.
Thanx Nic! Finally I can find some sleep now...
And, did I tell you, that I plan to let loose "da Gorgon" in Magnimar, during Rise of the Runelords?! Muahahahaha....
Blood of the Gorgon in Magnimar! Genius! It will meld really really well with all the Skinsaw Cult madness. Fun crossover!
