I think it would be awesome if connivingsumo put together these skeleton dioramas himself, just to taunt his DMs

evil contemplation face!

Am I enjoying some Halloween mallows by the fire! Or have I faded away waiting for my DM?



Blame Steve, he's an instigator; he encouraged me!

Dang... we lost the skellie; it's been so long he's just a pile of ashes now.

Mmmm. Bone meal

[tumblingdice]

Guilty am I.

"I'll grind his bones to make my bread."

That happened in Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus. Never watching that play again.

I haven’t seen or read that one. Why one and done for you @tumblingdice?

Yeah, why is that?

It was gory and violent for the sake of being gory and violent. I contacted my college Shakespeare professor after I saw it--many years after I graduated--and even she said there was no reason ever to see it again.

Back in college, I ordered a complete set of the Bantam Shakespeare collection. Titus Andronicus didn't have its own book, but was bound together with Timon of Athens and Coriolanus in one volume called Three Classical Tragedies. The cover showed a guy swinging an axe, so I shouldn't have been so surprised how gruesome it was.
