golden axe skeleton

In the game The Golden Axe there are skeletons who are tougher than the mini-bosses.  This spawned a joke about “beware the skeletons with the golden axe”.  Here is the skeleton.  He is on a random encounter for my Clash of the Titans game.  A rebuild of my Gasha-Dokuro skeleton from Japan.

Though colloquially called “zombastodons” […]

buso geisha

Stole the idea from the Paizo Jade Regent boards.  I felt it fit my game very well since one of my PCs is an oiran/geiko. My PCs skipped the Pagoda portion of the dungeon but a more deadly version was in the Munasukaru’s Penance area. BUSO GEISHA (GREATER TIGBUANA BUSO) Medium undead, chaotic evil Armor […]
