Just wondering who he/she is? I have never heard of this person before. Don't want anyone to think that I'm trying to say anything negative of the person, I'm not. I'm just wondering who he/she is and what this person has done. Just would like to see some of what Louis has done.


Cthu-Lou is awesome. Did you Google him?

Dark Archive

Not yet.


He does Lou Agresta's RPG Aggression Blog

He is a Werecabbage (a freelance writer's guild).

He is a major force moving the manuscript of the Savage Coast along (I applaud him for this, since he is picking up a dropped ball)

Here is his PathfinderWiki entry which has a few of his credits.

I personally hope that we get to hire him to write something for us some day.

Scarab Sages

Not to mention he gives great Werewolf.

Super Genius Games

And he's written one of our best reviewed and best selling Call of Cthulhu adventures: Snows of an Early Winter.

Lou rocks. :)

Well if they hadn't, I probably would have gotten him lynched in short order.

Now that Nick Logue has all but abandoned the Razor Coast I also have great hopes that Louis will finish it off for us.

Lou Agresta? This Lou Agresta?

Yeah, I know him. That guy's a pervert.

Well he is dashingly handsome for a pervert though, and I thought I heard he was finally on prescription meds for his 'problem'.

Mr Agresta? A gentleman and a scholar.

Oh wait... got him mixed up with Shirak for a second.

What Daigle said.


Ah, you speak of the King in Orange.

It isn't so much about how many times the man has been published as it is about how fantastic his offerings have been to date. What's more, he gets better with each new work.

I co-wrote with him a couple times and learned so much so quickly that my writer's toolbox became too heavy to carry around with one hand.

Honest opinion.


Hey, if we're giving due recognition here, somebody should probably mention that Lou Agresta wrote "The Slave Pits of Absalom" one of the upper crust Pathfinder scenarios out there. There's some really fun NPCs in there.

I usually find his blog by googling Lou & aggression.

Hey. Wow. Scan through the boards one morning and find – a post on you. Thanks, everyone, for the good words and encouragement. To be clear: that orange Tux in Daigle’s linked picture is not my daily wear. It’s my co-hosting outfit for the 2010 Iron GM Tournament. Anyone interested can find out more about that here: Iron GM

Ask a Shoanti: Josh’s development had a lot to do with the fun in Slave Pits of Absalom, though I’m pleased with how people have reported the faction missions added to their games.

For those who haven’t met him at Gencon, Shirak is my brother.

As for you, Dark_Mistress, I thought virtual foot rubs were our secret! What if my wife read this?

Well there is definitely more writing in the pipeline, so I hope not to disappoint.

Thanks again!

Lou

Wait what virtual... oh right... VIRTUAL, got it. *wink*


I expect better from a professional writer...

You meant to say, "What if my wives read this?"

Worry not, I'll never tell them.

Isn't that the eagle in Beastmaster?


The only missing thing in Lou's resume is writting something for Wayfinder... ;P

Yep. They're the same dude! I wonder if Lou got to meet Marc Singer?

Sovereign Court Contributor

Ok, there is a funny story in that. My brother's name is Shirak, as anyone reading this has no doubt gathered. He changed his name legally some years back. I believe it's the name of a river he found particularly inspiring. For the real story, you'd have to ask him.

Now Shirak had never been to Gencon, so before his first trip to Indy I made sure to go to everyone I knew and ask them to do this:

"When you meet my brother, Shirak - yeah, Shirak, that's really his name - can you pause for a second and then say, 'Oh. You mean like the Eagle from Beastmaster?"

By the time the 10th or 15th person said this -- including the fun and well-meaning clerk behind the hotel desk at check-in -- my brother knew something was up. By the 20th odd person, he gave me that "I'm going to kill you for this look." Hysterical.

The best part was when a friend of mind shook Shirak's hand on meeting him, "Shirak? Really?" And now my brother was expecting the line. Instead, "How do you spell that?" My brother did, pleased. "Oh! You mean like the Eagle from Beastmaster?"

Priceless.

PS On another note, while I've never met Marc Singer, a dear friend of mine did a few years back, also at GenCon. Now this friend is a very attractive woman and a real personality. Marc Singer immediately tried to hit on her. It was softly amusing to watch Mr. Singer bumble over himself to apologize when he realized her husband was standing next in line for his signature. Good times.

Seconded. But also Daigle.
