The new home of all things Grinning Skull!
So, almost at the end of this season of zombie survivor drama, The Walking Dead, so here I am with this week's latest installment. After last week, of which I was quite impressed with compared to some of the previous episodes in the recent weeks, so with the climax to this season approaching, hopefully this… Continue reading The Walking Dead: Season 4: Episode 15; Us
As you know, I'm into zombie wargames, so this caught my eye, its called Zed or alive from Dust devil games and they currently have a kickstarter campaign to fund its creation. Yes, I know, there are quite a few zombie skirmish rulesets coming onto the market at the moment, but there's always room for… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Zed or Alive: Zombie skirmish ruleset by Rust Devil Games Kickstarter
So episode 14 is upon us, not long I fear until the season finale, I'm hoping that this end of season 4 finishes with a little more of a flourish than these past few episodes, but I aint given up on the series just yet! I don't want to give you any spoilers of this… Continue reading The Walking Dead: Season 4: Episode 14; The Grove
Another interesting campaign over on Kickstarter, is the boardgame The Legends of the Wulin. I do enjoy a good boardgame now and again, and I am always partial to stuff based on ancient China and it's legends (and fantasy kin) Although it looks a tad complicated, it's very slick looking and certainly attracts the eye… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: The Legends of the Wulin Board-Game Kickstarter
Now, these 28mm figures I think are delightfully old school, and I must admit they exhibit a sort of naive quality that I do actually like! Its a new KS project by Atomico, a new name that I've not heard of before. OK, so they're kind of a bit chunky, but I think they have… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: 28mm Zombie & Survivor miniatures by Atomico on Kickstarter

I've mentioned Greebo miniatures before on here, and just thought I'd highlight their latest campaign. The Hand of Death, mainly being composed of Rats and Turtles for use in fantasy football type games, are lovely little figures, heavily influenced by TMNT, but for me that indeed is a bonus. I've always loved all things Ninja… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Greebo miniatures Hand of death on Indiegogo
Just taking a brief respite in my sculpting and model making to say something...So, this has been rattling around in my head for a while, ignore the title of the post, that just implies the basis of the idea rather than the outcome, so to speak. Whilst I like the computer world and it's weirdness… Continue reading Brainstorming: Grinning Skull digest anyone?
Next in on Crowdfunding Spotlight, is Mote, a virtual tabletop, brought to you lucky people by Idle Ideas Inc. Now, I'm quite old school when it comes to my gaming, but I do appreciate new ideas that might come to revolutionise wargaming in future years. I'm not saying that I totally get it, nor would… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Mote – Virtual Tabletop Kickstarter
While my rather poor internet connection allows and I'm on a roll, I want to tell you about the third installment of the successful Tabletop towns range of folding card scenery. I'm a huge fan of paper models for wargaming, so this new campaign is bound to be a big hit for those out there… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Tabletop Taverns Kickstarter
