What Happened to Logue and Pett?


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


OK, a bone to pick with Paizo's otherwise exemplary product line... what happened to Richard "The Skinsaw Murders" Pett and Nick "The Hook Mountain Massacre" Logue? Haven't seen much from them lately... not like during the last great days of Dungeon magazine during which at least one if not both of them would have entries in every issue! (Logue's patently transparent "Sinister Adventures" excuse hardly gives him a free pass to slack off to this extent!)

In the words of Calvin, of Calvin & Hobbes fame: "Happiness isn't good enough for me! I demand euphoria!" I demand more Logue and Pett!

Both are contributing to the same book in Pathfinder 26. I believe they're both also writing a monster for Dungeon Denizens Revisited.

That's all I get for my rabid fandom? One adventure and a cameo, in about 6 months? (Goes in the corner and sulks, threatening to hold breath until they step up production).

Having read and preparing to GM both Skinsaw and Hook Mountian I feel allowing these two gentlemen to collaborate is against the geneva code for PCs... naturaly I can't wait to see it. :)

Paizo Employee Chief Creative Officer, Publisher

Richard Pett is going to have a Pathfinder adventure and a Pathfinder Module in the same month in September.

Logue is busy moving across the world and learning the joys of running a small publishing company of his own.

I imagine you will see a fair amount from both gentlemen in the future.

Paizo Employee Creative Director

Both Nick and Richard wrote an installment of "Curse of the Crimson Throne" after Runelords; Nick with Pathfinder #7's "Edge of Anarchy" and Rich with Pathfinder #9's "Escape from Old Korvosa." Nick also wrote and helped write several Pathfinder Modules. More recently, both of them contributed to the upcoming "Dungeon Denizens Revisited," with Rich writing about owlbears and Nick writing about ropers.

As Erik mentions above, Nick in particular is swamped with a billion other projects, not least of which is teaching people to punch and stab each other.

Coming up in Pathfinder #26, we'll have another Rich Pett adventure: "The Sixfold Trial." That same volume will have a really nifty support article by Nick.

And in the same month, we'll be releasing a Pathfinder Module called "Carrion Hill," by Rich Pett. This one will probably greatly delight the Rich Pett you came to know with the Styes...

The Exchange

Both will be at PaizoCon UK as special guests, and they are currently working on a special scenario they will be running. So if you're in the UK on the 11th and 12th July you could experience them 'in the flesh' so to speak!

You got Nick to write ropers over Richard? How ironic.

This is VERY good news! Thank you, Paizo! Now, if you could just find another editor so that James can go back to adventure writing as well...

Logue is currently in my basement in a box and I renamed him the Gimp, while Pett is on the run but I am closing in on him.

Sorry if this has taken away from their writing from Paizo.

Then am I to understand this means their next adventures will include alot of leather and chains used in uncomfortable ways on the PCs?

I didn't think Paizo was going to delve into the hentai audience. So to speak.

Yeah - maybe it's a typo. If not, it's a total Easter egg for us fans.

Are Nick & Rich going to be at Gencon? I thought I heard that Nick was, but does anyone know for certain?

Huzzah!

Both Nic (assuming Elton John's petition to have him deported at my behest fails again) and myself will be at Paizocon UK and we are indeed working on something.

You'll also see us in Sixfold Trail, an adventure I'm rather pleased with. Nic did a supporting article for that and we exchanged some suitably unpleasant ideas for one scene.

I can't talk about the CH place.

Those wonderful Paizo people know how honored I am to work for them and its great to have worked on some more material - especially an adventure path adventure - they also have some truly brilliant writers both from the past, and some new stars and competition is very hot - which is of course a good thing.

And plus of course to plug KQ my chum Wolfgang is kind enough to publish work and to let me loose on his website occassionally. In fact I'm working on something this weekend for him.

And something else, but that is still in it foul embryonic form and not to be mentioned.

And, as always, thank you for your kind words.

Huzzah and a pound of pilchards for Logue to sit on.

Thanks for that heads up Rich. It is always a pleasure to hear from you.

What the bloody hell is a "pilchard"? Does it have lots of hit dice? Spikes? An energy drain attack?

... or did you mean sardines? That's Logue's only edge on you, mate: he already speaks the language...

Except that Logue would probably call it a "f!&!ing sardine." Either way it has to be edited.

Ooh, but doesn't their mad gibbering and loud, incoherent screams disturb your neighbours?

I must confess that I have trouble imagining Pett being "on the run"... slithering/hobbling, yes, but not (literally) running.

Thats what ball gags are for.

As for the running it was metaphorical.

Check the attic... that's where Pett usually lurks. He likes the cool, soothing dark, and tends to burrow inside walls. Try rare steaks or even bottled blood to draw him out.

For an added chance of attracting him, make sure it's Logue's blood. Well, Logue's ichor, anyway.

I doubt Logue has anything resembling liquid in his veins; there is an old, forbidden book that contains a reference to 'Locque' as a being of pure Negative Energy and Malice (bound within a fleshy shell, naturally). Also, it seems that Pitt is actually wary and suspicious of Logue's smell, so I would recommend using "normal" meat or blood.

Nick himself once told me on the boards that his BGL (blood guarana level) was through the roof, which implies some sort of liquid to act as a solvent.

Or he was just trying to fool you into thinking that he's at least partially human? Believe me, the Logue is a horrendous monstrosity that enjoys tricking and devouring humans.

Oh that I am! MUUUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Hey Guys!

I am still here! Just SWAMPED. We have entered the time of year where (apparently, I am still new to this here in Jolly Ole) we firm up recruitment for the upcoming year. It's madness, but wickedly engaging at the same time.

I'm polishing off Razor Coast as soon as I get a moment to catch a breath, and I'll also be tackling a tiny Paizo bit or two (though, I simply don't have the time to tackle an issue of Pathfinder anytime soon, sadly).

I won't disappear!

You could never be rid o' me that easily! ;-)

You still have some time ahead to turn into nice little viruses (maybe a highly virulent strain of Ebola) so that the participants can experience you in THEIR flesh.

All I can say is that ANYTHING written by both Pett and Logue should be banned now. Kill it before it becomes a monstrosity!

I will honestly say that Pathfinder just isn't the same without Pett and Logue. They really instilled the madness that I so enjoyed. They took Pathfinder up to 11!

Don't goad it... Pett is monstrous and inhuman enough in its current form (tendrils and all). Yet Pett has taken other forms as well -- it is first mentioned in ancient Egyptean hieroglyphs as Nyarlathopett, a terrible, old frog-like behemoth that came beyond the stars. "Beware the Pett!", the elderly and the wise used to say in Pennsylvania at the turn of the 19th century; the horrible fates of the early settlers were still remembered (and although it is now forgotten, the area was actually first called Pettsylvania for a brief time).


Thus, Pettsburgh (before the introduction of Standard American spelling).

Before people said "that is the pitts" they used to say "That is the Petts"

Hey, Pett!

What is your EXCUSE for not cranking out more adventures? Come on, I am jonesing for some more nastiness.
