The new home of all things Grinning Skull!
So, with Osprey's Rogue Stars ( Rogue Stars: Skirmish Wargaming in a Science Fiction Underworld (Osprey Wargames) ) winging its way to me through the post (yes, I succumbed to it in the end, the temptation was far too great!) I really look forward to getting it so I can have a really good read to… Continue reading Rogue Stars: Let the ideas start to flow!
Well, it's been a while, hasn't it? Well, as you can see, I have been suffering a variety of tech issues which have kept me offline quite a bit. Hopefully, everything is on the mend now, so I'd like to apologise for not completing the June post a day challenge, so sorry for that, it… Continue reading Normal blog service is now resumed!
A subject not talked about on here for ages is that of the Clown sightings of the past few years. The worldwide craze started by the Northampton Clown, caused much fear and loathing in the community in the UK and US and started a viral sensation that now is but a distant memory. September sees… Continue reading Will the new “IT” Movie, see a new wave of Creepy Clown sightings?
Back in April, I managed to get myself and most of the kids to Cleethorpes in North Lincolnshire (otherwise known as "Cleggy" to us here), not just for a week away with the family, but to attend a small Con they were holding there. I thought I'd share some pics of the event and some… Continue reading A Tale of Two Bossk’s: Cleethorpes Geekabilia 2017

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. For us here in the UK, we have a General Election tomorrow to see which c**t gets put into office (or stays in) but while I usually exercise my right to vote, this year I can't be bothered. I… Continue reading Another General Election, same old bag of shit. Grinning Skull’s politics rant!
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?
