The new home of all things Grinning Skull!
Ploughing through the various ways of self-publishing in print is very interesting. So, I thought I'd share a few thoughts on the subject and show you an early version I have had done for quality comparison. Back in the day, I remember the old indie RPG crowd in a similar position to Grinning Skull, and remembered the… Continue reading Putting publications in print. Anyone want a copy?
Well, it's a subject that I don't entertain very often, the reason being, I fucking hate politics.

I… Continue reading Another General Election, same old bag of shit. Grinning Skull’s politics rant!

Back in the 80's there existed a book series that ignited the imaginations of… Continue reading I want that F*%cking Miniature: Fighting Fantasy Miniatures from Pure Evil Miniatures.
I'm sure this movie needs no introductions. You can call this one of my guilty pleasure's of the celluloid variety, as ever since I first saw it, I loved it ever since. In an age growing up where fantasy media was limited to a handful of films on VHS, no one could ever understand why… Continue reading 5 reasons I F*%king love Hawk the Slayer!
So, more thinking out loud here, I'm going to talk about something that is virtually non existent in RPG ebook media as far as I am aware, which could either be a real pain for me, or a real bonus. To recap, while before I could advertise my own projects, material and goods etc on… Continue reading Brainfarts: Selling adverts in RPG Ebooks: Can it work? Can you make it viable?
