The new Project X is the most daring project I have ever thought of …

While at work I came up with the newest idea for my latest Project X. I don’t have a real name of the product yet so I will be calling it Project X for a while. What is this Project X? Well first off, it is not a RPG or game of any type. It is completely internet based and best of all it could change and revolutionize a complete industry. That is not a boast, it is an actual fact. This could change an industry like how iTunes and the iPod changed the music industry. No really. It is that big. What is it? I am not telling. Well at least for now, until I finish the business plan for it and do some cash flow projections. Project X will be a multi-million dollar idea with massive repercussion in its industry. So first I need to find some back end web developers (elance.com and Craislist.com here I come!) and then I have to look at getting funding from a venture capital firm. I mean LOTS of funding. Talk to you later…

[LPJDesign] Projects X announced and revealed!!!

Louis Porter Jr. Design, in association with Devil’s Workshop, is revealing the details of its recent upcoming secret venture called Project X.

On December 1, 2008, Louis Porter Jr. Design, created and opened a new website, www.LouisPorterJr.com. LouisPorterJr.com was created to be the home of the all new free online webcomic / eGraphic Novel series created by Louis Porter Jr, owner of Louis Porter Jr. Design and Devil’s Workshop. The first eGraphic Novel series released at www.LouisPorterJr.com was the original Haven: City of Violence graphic novel, Three Way Dance. Three Way Dance was original released with the Haven: City of Violence Role Playing Game released nearly 8 years ago, but now it is available as a daily eGraphic Novel strip, which will be concluding at the end of December.

“Three Way Dance was my first attempt in to the arena of comic books in 2001. Being a lifelong comic books fan, I really enjoyed doing that project and hoped to do more in the comic field in the future, but at the time the Internet was not ready for what I wanted to do. Three Way Dance was the reason Haven: City of Violence received initial interest to be optioned as a movie by Brigade Entertainment owned by Barry Levine, currently publisher of Radical Comics. Now in 2009, the Internet, Louis Porter Jr. Design and the gaming and comic industry are in the perfect place to accomplish this goal of bringing this project to life,” comment Louis Porter Jr.

Starting January 1, 2009, www.LouisPorterJr.com will be releasing an all new never seen before free weekly online eGraphic Novel series called Suits. Suits in based off the RPG setting of Haven: City of Violence imprint, Haven: Full Metal Zero. The series, Suits, has been best described as “The X-Files meets the Wire”. The series will be written by Louis Porter Jr. with artwork from Alex Garcia (www.alexgpart.com). Alex and Louis have worked on several projects in the past including the upcoming patron-only RPG setting Obsidian Twilight, inspired by the RPG gaming setting of Wizards of the Coast’s Dark Sun and Ravenloft.

In addition to the weekly eGraphic Novel series, Louis Porter Jr. Design will be converting much of the material in Suits into D20 Modern / OGL gaming material that can be used for the modern version of the world’s most popular role playing game system. “We want to merge the world of comics and RPGs. They have had such a long relationship to each other, doing this in this way only seemed natural. I also hope to expand Suits to the world of animation shorts and possibly features. The realm of what is possible is really unlimited,” stated Porter. The Haven: City of Violence and Haven: Full Metal Zero series of RPG material is available at RPGNow.com.

Can't beat a price like that! So stay tuned and keep guessing. Talk to you later...

[Obisian Twilight] Making races...

Since I have been working very hard on Project X of late, I have only been thinking about what races I could create for Obsidian Twilight. And I wonder if I might have to go back on a comment that I made earlier on what kind of races I wouldn't make. I said I would do no animal hybrid races. Well now all I can think of is cool races, but they I keep going back to animal hybrid races and how cool this one would be, or how cool that one would be. I think I might have bit off more than I can chew. So I have to wonder, am I going to cop out and do animal hybrid races?

Well I am no quitter, and I have not run from a challenge and today IS NOT a good day to start running. Obsidian Twilight is bad ass because we are not copping out and taking the easy road. The four races that we have now are unique and interesting to play, so the rest of them will be also. I just have to dig deep and think of what cool races I and the Obsidian Twilight team can come up with. Stay tuned it getting crazy over here. Talk to you later…

International Traveler...

It looks like I pulled off a minor miracle and in just one week I was able to apply and GET BACK my all new US Passport. I have not been out of the country in over two decades (Canada doesn't count). But now that the majority of the wife's family is in Trinidad, I am going to be travelling a who lot more interntationally. With that, the 2009 comic book convention schedule I am looking at is going to be MegaCon, San Diego (The first time finally), Baltimore Comic Con, Fan Expo Canada, DragonCon, and one of the Wizard World cons. This is going to be my busiest business year yet.

In the Project X front, we are coing very close to have the announce ready fro Projects. I have gotten back some [CLASSIFIED] from [CLASSIFIED] and [CLASSIFIED] [CLASSIFIED] great!!! So in less that 16 days you will know what Project X is. Stay tuned it is goign to be a lot of fun. Talk to you later...

Project X: The first reviews...

I just got the first reviews of Project X and they were very informative. They got me thinking is a very different direction while at the same time they people came up with a few great ideas I never ever though off. So everything is going better than I even planned on this. And for all you people that keep emailing me for hints, just wait January 1st is not that far away. Talk to you later...

I am still sick...

This weekend I picked up somekind of flu/cold thingamabob so I am still getting over it. Project X is going along fine. I reminds me of the old days when I first started on RPGNow.com. I can't wait until we finally announce this one. I think A lot of people will enjoy it, so you will just have to wait and see. Don't worry in roughly 3 weeks you will know what it is. Talk to you later...

Just relax...

Today is becoming a day to relax and think. I have done a lot already this morning; I finished the layout on the final issue/episode of Sidetrek Adventure Weekly 2: The Undead Chronciles. But I have put off some Obsidian Twilight work while I am getting the mometium for Project X up and running. I am really like how well everything is coming together on Project X. I can't wait to release/announce it on January 1st.

The real issue with Obsidian Twilight right now is coming up with a few "cool" races that you have never seen before. While the Harrowed and Exalted fit very well with what you can expect from races, while the Osirians and Khymer and VERY different from what people may expect. They are all playable and I think a few will wind up in gamer's regular non-Obsidian Twilight games. So if you have any crazy race ideas that would work well in a Ravenloft/Dark Sun insired, let me know. Talk to you later...

Getting organized...again...

With the change to a married life, I have let my organization of the company just fall apart. Basically I have a To-Do list that I used to update every day that will have everything that I needed and planned to do so I would not forget stuff and just not want to do it. It was/is a great motivator for me. But since I moved in with the wife, I have not been doing my list. I seems to find all kinds of reasons for me not being able to do it. But now with the addition of Project X (which is going well so far. I just got back [CLASSIFIED] from [CLASSIFIED] and it now we are moving to phase 2.) that ends today. I have a new list started and work to do, including finishing up the las issue of Sidetrek Adventure Weekly 2: The Undead Chronicles.

Back to getting things in orded and that starts with writting tomorrow's PDF Business Wednesday blog about something I read over at Gareth's Blog. Now everyone knows I am no friend of Gareth, but what happened to him pissed me off and is wrong. I will go more into it tomorrow. Talk to you later...

Back from Memphis...

Well a 14 hour trip became a 20 hour NIGHTMARE as we were stuck in traffic in Georgia and Northern Florida for hours. It was good to see my parents, aunts, and cousins all at one time. Carla and her mom got to mee the whole family at that was great. OK back to work with Obsidian Twilight, the Last Sidetrek Adventure Weekly 2: The Undead Chronicles and Project X. Talk to you later.

Still in Memphis...

Well I am still in Memphis with the family. The wife and mother-in-law will be hitting the road on Sunday around 3 Am so we can get back to Miami by 6 or 7 PM and ready for work on Monday. Being here with the family has only made my choice of doing Project X even easier. Talk to you later...

The new Project X

When I am working on something tat I don't want people to know what it is I call it "Project X". And every year there is a new Project X for me and LPJ Design. One year it was NeoExodus: A House Divided, one year it was bitemefanboy.com, this year it was Obsidian Twilight. Well for 2009, I have started putting together my newest Project X. This is something I have wanted to do for a LONG TIME. I finally have everything in place. It will be groundbreaking while at the same time a chance for me to o back to "my roots". I plan to make a HUGE announcement for it January 1st, 2009. While it may be the biggest thing I have ever done, I think this will bring me the most joy I have ever wanted from my business. If you are a fan of my work, then this will not be a huge change for you. It is me doing me. So sit back and relax and enjoy. On January 1st, 2009 I am going to take a quantum leap to the next level. Talk to you later...
