Artist Evan Hobart is a talent. His set of Skull Cities is a fantastic viewing experience. Speaking as a gamer and occassional GM I think this collection oozes inspiration and ideas. Who might live in a skull city? Giant skulls or small houses? Imagine your brave heroes staggering into a woodland clearing only to discover […]
Geode skull: for the desk of the awesome GM
Do you remember the Ammonite fossil skull posted on Geek Native last year? It would have looked cool on the desk of an evil GM. As it turns out there’s been plenty of posts tagged skulls on the blog. Here’s another one and another fine addition to the GM’s sinster table. This is an agate […]
Game of Thrones: Making the Dragon skull
You may have seen the incredible dragon skull PR stunt for Game of Thrones s3. The team put a “dragon skull” on a beach. Better still, they placed it on a beach in Dorset that’s known as a place you can find dinosaur fossils. It’s nicknamed “Jurassic Coast”. As it happens it wasn’t the HBO […]
Lucky skull teapot for gamers
What do you drink when you game? I’ve gone through drinking litres of fizz, to booze and now onto tea. I’m British, it’s natural. That’s why I think this “lucky” teapot from Archie McPhee might have a home on the tables of some gamers. Who wouldn’t want this teapot watch closing as the dice roll […]

The cyborg’s skull
This remarkable cyborg skull was created by American based Darko DarkSyde Designs. The deviant art collection isn’t always safe to browse from work and it is easy to imagine non-gamers getting a little freaked out over this skull. Me? I think it belongs on a shelf in the corner of the room.
Ammonite fossil skull
This skull, some 9.6 inches long, is carved from an Ammonite fossil. In India the skulls are associated with the God Vishnu and are used in various ceremonies. The name Ammonite actually comes from teh Greek ram-horned God called Ammon. I think these skulls are wonderful inspiration for GMs. There are plenty of fantasty creatures […]
Skulls for Blue Monday
Photograph by FirefuryAmahira Today is Blue Monday. This means, if you believe the spin, today is the most depressing day of the year. Has a necromancer cast a gloom spell across the whole country? There’s also The Aylesford Skull. The Aylesford Skull is the first novel from James P. Blaylock in twenty years. Blaylock is […]
The melting skull candle of doom
You can pick up this rather impressive skull candle from Think Geek (while stocks last) for less than $15. The skull is 4″ x 3.5″ x 4.5″ and the longer the wick burns, the more “blood” oozes out from the eye socket. Clearly, gamers will need to put this skull on something sensible before lighting […]
Freaky: skull photographs to scare your players
These photos are real and not manipulated. They show something natural and normal – the exfoliation of teeth. This is something we all understand; children lose their teeth and the new tooth pushes up from beneath. However, what we don’t think about very much in the process of storing the new tooth underneath the old […]
