From the smoking ruins of The Silent Sorcerer's tower, Skullsword sends forth nonsensical artwork and useless gaming tools. He also likes to discuss RPGs, boardgames, miniatures painting, writing, movies, books, and whatever else strikes his fancy. Mostly though, his goal is to provide fun and goofy things to inspire others in their games. Enjoy!

Sword & Sorcery World Map (W.I.P)
This blog has been pretty quiet lately, but that doesn't mean that I haven't been doing things. ;-) I've been wanting to run a Sword & Sorcery style game for quite some time now. One of my biggest impediments though has been that I haven't had a map. I did this one in Campaign Cartographer back in 2015, but I just wasn't quite happy with it. So here is another attempt. This map was hand drawn and then colored using GIMP, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. It has only some generic sea an place names on it so far, and while the cities are there, they have yet to be named. Now of course the next big question would be what system do I use for the game? Savage Worlds seems to be my best bet for ease and flexibility, but a strong case could be made for Barbarians of Lemuria, being that it's, well, a Sword & Sorcery Game. I'v also toyed with the idea of Trying Fate Core/Accelerated because of its incredible flexibility, but I haven't come across many folks who have used it for S&S. Decisions, decisions, and yet one more reason to delay running a game. :-)
