I am a hoarder. I've played hundreds of computer games over the years and I have a tendency to keep them on the shelf if I think there's a chance I might want to play them again in the future. Because of this I have shelves full of vintage games that go back to the early 1990s. I was looking through some of them the other night and came across Planescape:Torment, a game from 1999 that's loosely based on Advanced D&D rules. In the game you have a companion who's a wise-cracking floating skull named Morte. I got to thinking, a floating, disembodied skull... hmmm...that could be a great pet. It would make sense for it to be a Death based pet but then again why limit it? There could be a skull for every school in the school's color. Just a thought.
