Thick Skull Adventures is dedicated to creating adventures that read like classic adventure stories – rich in exotic location settings, original monsters and shifty characters.

Stephen “Snake” Newton

Hello there, I’m Stephen and I’m the primary Human Writer behind Thick Skull Adventures. I have been playing D&D since the late 1970′s, weened on classic TSR modules of old. DM’ing in my youth such iconic canon as Tomb of Horrors, GDQ series and even Judges Guilds’ Dark Tower helped foster my love of writing and shaped the style of games I love to play. I created Thick Skull Adventures as a means to publish my own 4th Edition D&D adventures with the hope of contributing a little something back to a gaming world that has provided me uncounted hours of enjoyment.

In addition, I’m a father, husband, history fan, and ice-hockey player. On weekends I take care of my daughters, love to grill on the Weber, and visit many of the State Parks in the Santa Cruz area.

Catherine “Cat” Harkins

Catherine is Stephen’s good friend, but more importantly, is an extraordinary graphic designer. Cat does all of the magic behind the layout and graphics within The Haunting of Larvik Island including drafting many of the interior illustrations, and header/footer flourishes including the iconic Thick Skull Adventures logo. In addition to being a Human Wizard using tools such as Adobe PhotoShop and Adobe InDesign, she’s also a great ice hockey goalie.

If you’d like to contact Cat to inquire about getting help on your own project, you can reach her through her portfolio website Three 2 Designs
