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!

1,001 More Weird and Wacky Adventure Ideas
It has finally arrived! After over a month of development and editing, the next version in my series of Weird and Wacky Adventure Ideas is finally out. Some of the improvements that you'll see in this new edition are more illustrations, new places and items, better variability in the descriptions, and the addition of guardians to protect all of those mysterious "treasures" that are hidden about. Also, at the end of the book, I have added three new d100 tables to allow for quick generation of Insane items, Dwellings of Doom, and places of Peril for those times when you don't need an entire adventure idea. As a bit of time went into actually reviewing each of the adventure ideas and making edits to make them either more wacky, or more consistent, I toyed with the idea of trying to sell it for $0.50, but in the end, I decided to release it for free. (Donations of course are always accepted, but not expected).
The PDF version can be downloaded from here.
The ePub version can be downloaded from here.
I hope that people find as much enjoyment from reading and using this as I had creating it. Happy Adventuring!
I have been asked about making donations, so I'm including the following links. As I've said, while donations are greatly appreciated, they are absolutely not expected, but should you feel the desire to send a few coins my way, they can be sent to:
Google Wallet: jrl755@gmail.com
or
Paypal: jrl755@hotmail.com
Also, don't forget to check back at this blog every Wednesday for a new adventure idea on Weird Adventure Wednesday. :-)

Weird Adventure Wednesday
Yes, I've changed the name. Weird Adventure Wednesday, just seemed to sound more appropriate. :-) This week's adventure idea takes us to some curious locations in search of a rather intriguing item. I'm not sure though whether the guardian is a friend or a foe...
On a blustery day you cross paths with a foreign swordsman lying in the road. The swordsman tells you a forgotten tale that 12 days journey to the north, near the Erupting Gorge of the Barbarian, is hidden the Crimson Church of the Swashbuckler. It is thought that there can be found the Rune Etched Granite Torch of Horrors. But beware, for the swordsman warns you that it is whispered the Fabulous Rat of Inebriation lurks there!

Wednesday Wondrous Adventures
On an overcast afternoon you come across a glassy eyed barbarian in a crowded market. The barbarian tells you a rumor that 4 weeks ride to the southwest, along the Foggy Shores, can be found the Subterranean Abbey of Reality. It is said that there can be found the Crude Lead Cutlass of the Gleaming Evoker. But beware, for the barbarian tells you that it is told the Phantasmal Pit Fiend of Banality dismembers all who come near!

Wednesday Wondrous Adventures
This weeks' Wednesday Wondrous Adventure is rather weather appropriate and takes us to some interesting locations searching for a somewhat questionable item.
On a snowy afternoon you meet an overbearing prince at a formal event. The Prince tells you that 15 days journey to the northeast, through the Whispering Cliffs of Vulgarity, can be found the Glowing Mansion of the Burning Brain. It is rumored that there can be found the Enchanted Flesh Scepter of Lunacy. But beware, for the prince warns you that it is rumored the Devouring Frog Men of Poisoning live there!

The new version will have more text variation and will include adversaries to challenge even the boldest of adventurers. Here are some examples of the adventures to be had:
XX. On a raw afternoon you cross paths with a boil covered jongleur at a festival. The jongleur tells you a tale that 7 days travel to the north, through the Shattered Scrublands, is found the Scorching Graveyard. It is rumored that there can be found the Fateful Magma Club of the Curate. But beware, for the jongleur warns you that it is believed the Implacable Fortuneteller of Iron stands guard there!
XX. On a gusty night you happen upon a swarthy student in a lonely inn. The student recites a tale to you that 2 weeks travel to the southwest, near the Pernicious Plateau of Defilement, stands the Silvered Manse of Disgust. It is reputed that there lay the Cruel Platinum Tongs of the Wino. But beware, for the student warns you that it is alleged the Malefic Slime Beast of Abuse makes its abode there!
XX. On a bone chilling day you are hailed by a glum drunk near an ancient shrine. The drunk recites a tale to you that 3 weeks ride to the south, in the Secret Rift of the Ice Gods, is found the Jagged Burial Mound of the Degenerate Priest. It is said that hidden there is the Blessed Meteoric Iron Scabbard of the Shaman. But beware, for the drunk warns you that it is thought the Shameful Ancient Artist of Vivisection dismembers all who come near!
So, keep an eye out in the near future!

Wednesday Wondrous Adventures
This weeks' Wednesday Wondrous Adventure takes us to the Gorge of Savagery!
On a rainy autumn morning you encounter a cordial champion at a crossroads. The champion discloses to you that 21 days journey to the northwest, over the Crumbling Gorge of Savagery, was built the Blasted Prison. It is whispered that there is hidden the Adamant Skull of the Plague Bringer. But beware, for it is said that the Flesh Melting Musician of Abuse stalks that place!
I think that I would be pretty scared of that musician...
