I could flip it over and put a dot under neath... I'll give that a go. Instead of a dot how about a dented helmet?

Please feel free to use anything from my old site (see sig below!). If you guys like the mini-module concept (1-2 page modules) i've got a ton you could use.

Actually, I really like that approach, Skathros. I've printed the ones you have posted to add to my repertoir of tools. I was considering using them as a template for a series of adventures based on the old Brothers Grimm Fairytales. It would provide just enough of a framework to give a GM something to work with and, based on the old fairy tale, they'd be able to improvise from that point.

What about a Shurikan under the club? or a chakram, always makes me think of T&T(and zena )

I was thinking of the chakram also, but how do you represent one in a way that makes it look like a chakram instead of a circle? hmmm...

Hogscape - you have the tools to edit pdfs i think? Skathros 3 adventures are in PDF format at t-t.wikidot.com/adventuresI have forwarded his name and byline to you and he has clearly given his consent to use his stuff. Can you pick it up from above? His magic item list is amazing also

The logo looks awesome Hogscape! I agree that the flipped club and a simple skull or helmet underneath would look even better. Exalt for you for the steely and tough 5th ed. look. Kudos. Also, skath's mini-adventures would be a great addition. In fact, I think the concept in general is something others may want to consider. "Bite-sized bits" always have a place in my games. The more detailed some setting or adventure or NPC or whatever, the greater the chance of me saying: "Yeah, that's nice, honey. Whatever. Color your menu."

OK, I'm going full on paranoid here. Or, to put in another way, are you people paranoid enough?
Has anyone noticed that Hogscape was the major proponent on this site for many OP products, perhaps most notably the Hobbit Hole and the Mythical sixth edition? His multiple posts talked me into purchasing this latter mid-grade product, before I figured out he wrote what was not stolen in it (and thus was at the very least guilty of a conflict of interest, pushing his house rules as T&T cannon). Actually at the time Rick Loomis wrote me it was not official, but since he (Rick) didn't even have his core rules available in any format, I bought M6E anyway. I later picked up (and now use) 7.5 at a local hobby shop. While I must say that my nearly 30 year old copy of the Fifth edition has superior writing, organization and editing (and art, but that's not fair, Danforth is expensive these days!) than either of the newer versions, that is not pertinent to my point. M6E was created without the copyright holder's permission (or the creator's (KSA) for that matter). As I understand it FBI (Rick) decided let them keep calling it official, as long as OP didn't do it again. That makes no sense to me, unless you translate it as "we can't afford to sue you right now, so please play nice in the future."
I think most everyone here now knows OP never played nice.
Check out your collection of HH. Page by page Mike Hill is credited with more writing than anyone, and is/was of course, editor. I don't know for certain that Mike is "that guy" but Mike was either a close conspirator in the malfeascance OP perpetrated, grossly ignorant, or "that guy" himself. I'm not even certain there was a functional editor for HH. I can think of two (of my six or seven issues) that have solos calling for a L1 SR on 10. From the context I know it is a SR on IQ, but really, these were obvious scans no one even took the time to proof read.
Why would you Trolls put him in charge of this new publication? Does anyone know who he is? When I used to order T&T material from OP the money went to Julia "that guy". Why not "that guy"? On the internet identity is often a game of smoke and mirrors, and I fear this may simply be a new twist (actually oldish, using an established name here) on ""that guy"'s" shifty practices.
Even if I am way off-base and Hogscape is an innocent enthusiast (if so I am sorry!), what is to stop "that guy" from taking free web content, as he has done before (with for instance Escape from Khosht) and stealing the sweat from the creator's brow?
I guess there is no answer to that, and the thought paralizes me.
I humbly look forward to either enlightenment or beheading.

I.....I don't even know where to start.
1. Mike isn't James. 2. I actually trust Mike. 3. Mike's cool and not the...err..let's jus' say, jerk, that "that guy" is. 4. Mike's a decent author and editor by my estimation. 5. As near as I can tell, Mike did M6E with no intent to harm or "steal", etc. and I think M6E is excellent. Plus, his Dark Isle is one of the best 'versions' of T&T I've ever laid eyes on. 6. "There is no rule six!" 7. Huh?
