Welcome to this, the second special issue of the Skull’s favorite magazine. What, you may ask, was the first special issue? While it is marked with the word SPECIAL on its masthead in place of a number, it is known in some circles as Issue 0, and it contained all the essays written for the first Kickstarter of Tales From the Magician’s Skull as well as the first tale of Hanuvar, reprinted from its appearance in the Goodman Games GenCon 2016 Programming Guide. Physical copies today are extremely rare, as this one is likely to be. Cherish its contents!

Das zweite Special ist weiterhin guter Lesestoff, hat mich aber nicht so beeindruckt wie die letzte "reguläre" Ausgabe (No. 9). Eine Menge Autor*innen hat hier ihren ersten Auftritt in TftMS. Wie immer passende Spielwerte für das DCC-Rollenspiel im Anhang und der übliche unterhaltsame Kram wie Kreuzworträtsel und die etwas bizarren Kolumnen des Skull selbst.
