The Winomancer can raise dead liquor bottles to do his bidding. Thanks to Laura Beegle for the suggestion.

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!

R.I.P.
Frank Mentzer, Steve Crompton, and Ken St. Andre all seem to be indicating that Rick Loomis, founder of Flying Buffalo Inc. has died. :-(

A new monster for Thews! The slug man warrior
Here is a new creature for your Thews! game.
Slug men are an abominable combination of man and slug. They dwell in deep subterranean lairs and are rarely seen by humans. Legends hold that a great city of slug men lies deep within the earth’s crust and that its residents kidnap humans for use in blasphemous rituals and experiments. Slug man warriors are the most common slug men and are the most likely to be encountered raiding near the surface.

Thews! Quick Reference
I've created a Thews! quick reference for the most frequently used tables. It should save time not having to dig through all ten pages of the rulebook. I'll probably add this to the end of the rulebook as well, even though it will cause me to exceed my self-imposed ten page limit.
Thews! is available as a Pay-What-You-Want PDF download from DriveThruRPG here:

Thews Day!

The original play-test edition and the revised edition |
The game of barbaric savagery and sinister sorcery! We have been play-testing my latest beer and pretzels style sword & sorcery roleplaying game Thews! So far it's going pretty well and I've gotten lots of good feedback from the play-testers. It's fast, brutal, so so far pretty fun. I think that it's a much better game than my previous game, Crossbows & Codpieces. :-) . I'm hoping to release Thews! in PDF sometime in the next month.
