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!

Jack Chick Joins Black Leaf.
Jack Chick, fundamentalist cartoonist and RPG hater seems to have died at the age of 92. For those of you who might not be familiar, Chick wrote cartoon pamphlets known as Chick Tracts designed to be handed out by evangelist folks. They cast dispersion on what he viewed as the evils of many thing. One of his most famous (for the RPG Community) was Dark Dungeons, which focused on the evils of fantasy roleplaying games, however it is far from his most infamous. I'd link to his site, but I have a rather strict no hate speech policy on my blog.

Miniatures Monday
This week, we keep with the Halloween theme for Miniatures Monday. Here we have a restless spirit rising from its rocky tomb to haunt the living. The miniature is quite an old one and is by Mithril Miniatures. Back in the late 80s/ early 90s, Mithril Miniatures started producing a great line of Tolkien themed miniatures, and at the time, they were some of the best miniatures around. Of course, back then I was in college, so I couldn't afford to buy very many, but I did snag a few and have decided to finally paint some of them. Imagine my surprise to find that Mithril still seems to be in business!
