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!

Robert E. Howard
Today is the birthday of Robert Ervin Howard, creator of Conan the Cimmerian and one of my favorite authors. He lived just over thirty years, but made an indelible mark on the fantasy genre. I drink to his shade.

Miniatures Monday
Well, I posted 51 completed miniatures in 2012. The only day that I skipped was Christmas Eve. Not too shabby, but I doubt that I'll be able to keep up that level of productivity in 2013, but who knows?

We named the dog Indiana...
The University of Chicago received a rather interesting package the other day addressed to Henry Walton Jones Jr..
I never get stuff like this in the mail. Maybe I should change my name to Pennsylvania. :-)

From the Earth to the Moon
Forty years ago, as I at the age of three,
eagerly looked forward to the arrival of Santa Claus, man left the moon for
what has so far been the last time. Gene Cernan left with these words:
"I'm
on the surface; and, as I take man's last step from the surface, back home for
some time to come — but we believe not too long into the future — I'd like to
just [say] what I believe history will record. That America's challenge of
today has forged man's destiny of tomorrow. And, as we leave the Moon at
Taurus-Littrow, we leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall return: with
peace and hope for all mankind. Godspeed the crew of Apollo 17."
I
was born into a spacefaring nation. Children born today cannot say that.
