Are you ready for some football?
With the first 2010 NFL Preseason game this Sunday, and the publication date for THE STARTER just over a month away, it's getting pretty giddy around the Lair of Døøm™. We've acquired a Warehouse of Døøm (South) and lots and lots of shipping supplies, and are anxiously awaiting the arrival of THE STARTER pallets.
To celebrate, we're going to introduce you to the Tier One Teams, three at a time, over the next few weeks. The first three teams to meet the Ionath Krakens in battle this season?

| Isis Ice Storm by Len Peralta | Themala Dreadnaughts by Scott E Pond | Shorah Warlords by Scott E Pond |
I had the good fortune to meet Len Peralta at Comic Con, and spend some time with him and his fabulous wife. If you're coming to Dragon*Con, you can catch Len and Sigler together on a the "Podcasts and Marketing to the Masses" panel.
And if you're digging the Dreadnaughts & Warlords logos, rest assured this isn't the last we'll see of ScottEPond, as he's got two more winning Tier One logos.
If you haven't ordered yours, get on that. Personalization available only until 8/20/2010, and you don't want to miss out.
Whose house? OUR HOUSE!

These look mighty cool
Are we getting them as color inserts in 'The Starter'?
Exciting!
Even though I've seen all these already [grin] I'm still excited to see them again on the official SIgler website.

Looks great...
Liking them so far, figure I'll love them all except 1 (I'm highly biased on my wife's Chillich Spider Bears logo, sorry!) Looking forward to the next 3 weeks ...
NOW I'm getting even more excited...
I am SO looking forward to this book... it's gonna be so chocked full of absolute rawkness and grooviness that I fear the titanium and kevlar composite binding may not be strong enough to contain it!
Remember boys and girls... Safety first... Always wear your safety glasses when viewing the awesomeness that is the FDO's literary genius!

All Hail the FDØ!I thought Shorah was
the Chieftains.

Can't Wait!!!
Great seeing all the winners released too!
BTW, is that logo
a stylized Hurrah? It looks pretty much exactly like how I picture them in my head, minus the crazy coloring.
**Just direct-a your feetza to Daddy Greene's Pizza!**
A mistake on the recordkeepers' part
There are two teams from Shorah, the Chieftains and the Warlords. The Chieftain are in Tier Two, in the Harrah Conference.
Hey PDFD!
That was the intent. Basic Hurrah shape with black and purple tattoos for the leader.

Super Sweet
I cant wait to get my grubby hands on The Starter. Glad I preordered. Logo's look Super Hot! Aweseom job !!!!
Awesome Logos!
See, this is the reason that I'm on board for everything Sigler. There's not screwing around here... this is a complete universe, and the details keep getting filled in. There's so much effort put into every detail that it makes our commitment as fans feel like it is matched by both Sigler and the folks who help him produce the books.
I don't mind investing my own effort and energy towards something when I feel it is more than matched by the creator. Bravo, Scott! You effing rock!
Also, I want more of those Ancestor cards that I got with my copy of "The Rookie"... I got four, and I went down to the local big-box bookstore and jammed those cards into copies of a popular horror bestseller. I wasn't sure what the intent was, but I was sure that my use of those cards had a possibility of adding to the book sales, and I want everyone to share in reading these books.
Details and intent
Glad you're digging the details. A and I bust our asses to make the best product we can, and to build a universe that will be totally real and believable when we finish in 6-5 more years. All the details go into that.
And as for intent of the ANCESTOR cards, do whatever you wanna do with 'em (as long as you're spreading the word, that's the point). Gracias!
ANCESTOR cards
I've already preordered THE STARTER, so if you want to throw some extra cards in the package, I'll be glad to jam them into books at all of the big bookstores in my area.
