The new home of all things Grinning Skull!
It's June, and time for this month's latest release, dedicated to some of the weird freaks who live around me here. Yes, now you can create your very own messed up hillbilly clans and inter-bred family bloodlines with this PDF publication, designed for all RPG systems. It's completely system free and suitable for literally any… Continue reading New Release: 100 Genetic Defects for Inbred Families for all RPGs
I wanted to draw your attention to this crowd-funder, that doesn't seem to be getting any love. Hammer Steam are offering 20 people the chance to get their very own hammered copper coins to their own design specs with this project. Personally, I think that they are quite nice, they have an authentic look and… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Hammer Steam Custom Design Copper Coins on Indiegogo
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!
It might not surprise you that, here at the Grinning Skull, we like all things skeletal. So, it would be rude to not include these babies here in Crowdfunding Spotlight. These figures are brought to you by Skull & Crown, a name that's apt considering the subject! As you can see the inspired skeleton designs,… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: 28mm Renaissance Skeleton Army Miniatures Kickstarter
So, it's been ages since I've posted a Crowdfunding Spotlight article here, so without further a do, I want to draw your attention to these interesting little fellers. Old School Miniatures have a campaign running for these 28mm Alpine Gnomes, which I have to say, have a distinctly Oldhammer feel like some thing from… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: 28mm Alpine Gnomes from Old School Miniatures on Kickstarter
If you remember these critters, I need not remind you what they are from, but for those of you unfamiliar with them let me give you heads up and some background. These are Pure Evil Miniatures officially licensed Fighting Fantasy Miniatures. 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?
