Welcome to my little part of the web. Skankgame.com, home of the miniatures skirmish game "2085 Warlords of the Wasteland". A project initially conceived in dissatisfaction of the way things were, a project that will hopefully evolve into a do-it-yourself resource for gamers and non-gamers alike.  If you're a modern or post/apocalyptic minaitures gamer, artist, or just a fan of the genre, you'll find useful things here.

Committed to the proposition that you should always get the most bang for your gaming buck, I offer you a 25-28mm skirmish game for free download. Throughout this site, you'll find information about how you can get more for less, or if you're gonna spend the money, how to get the best for the price.

Unless otherwise noted, all content of this site is copyright 2006 skankgame.com.  All contributing authors or artists retain full copyright of their own works.

Here are the website's sections:

Home - This page will be updated with new additions as they are put up on the site.

Downloads - where you can download the game itself, and other items in the future.

Galleries - Game Pics, Post-Apocalyptic art, etc.

Articles - On a variety of topics from stretching your gaming dollar, to modelling, to the Post-Apocalyptic genre itself, to you name it.

Cinema - A review of tons of Post-Apocalyptic movies with commentary on how they might make a good game premise or scenario.

Links - Your jumping-off point to a bunch of gaming and non-gaming sites related to this genre. Looking for inspiration, miniatures, or more info? This is the place to start.

Have Fun!
