Publication history

Of Skulls and Scrapfaggot Green was written by Bob Blake, and was published by Judges Guild in 1978 as a 52-page book.[1] Judges Guild published a second edition in 1980.[1]

Reception

edit

Don Turnbull reviewed Of Skulls and Scrapfaggot Green for White Dwarf #14, and rated it a 7 out of 10.[2] Turnbull commented: "The adventure itself is well planned and carefully designed, though there are a number of parts of Skull which are of no direct relevance to the adventure, and players could waste a lot of time in them".[2]

Patrick Amory reviewed Of Skulls and Scrapfaggot Green for Different Worlds magazine and stated that "Another relatively early release, Skulls is a perfect example of why tournament dungeons should not be published. Probably a good test in a D&D tourney, Skulls will not fit into any campaign without overcoming that "testing" flavor."[3]
