Used the default skeleton creature to make a bunch of placeables for area decor. Note: None of these have walkmeshes or use/impact nodes (they're intended for static area decor only), and they refer to the default skeleton texture, so they'll be affected by any recolors thereof.

 

Builders' resource. To install, put the .mdls into your module haks, and add the 2da lines to your placeables.2da. The placeable appearances show up under "Skeleton".

 

Update: Added a couple of two-person poses, in the name of True Love.

Wow! These are fantastic! Surprised there are not two of them on top of one another. Then you could use the slogan, "Love Never Dies!"

The original idea of these placeables is a nice touch.

FP!

As you wish.

Credits for the idea go to Tarot. Let me know if you need any specific skeleton poses at any point, FP!

Hehe. Both died of a heart attack while having sex in the countryside and nobody bothered to remove their bodies.

They'd killed them both in the exact same way; two strokes to the gut, one to each side of the lower abdomen, using a pointed, triangular blade, much wider at the base than at the tip. It was quick, and sudden, and wholly unexpected.
 
Reeling on the ground, light-headed from the loss of the blood streaming freely from his wounds, he drags himself onto one knee and stumbles towards her. Touching her hands and face, only to find her unresponsive and limp, he half falls, half throws himself upon her, grasping her in a hug. Indistinct pleas tumble from his lips, but he remains unaware of them.
 
Through the haze, he experiences a jolt of clarity as her hand threads through his hair. Their eyes meet. She cannot speak (even if she hadn't been dying, he was unfortunately putting a fair amount of pressure onto her windpipe at the moment), but her lips mouth a single word: Together.
 
Their families never found them, but it wouldn't have mattered if they did. Hers had disowned her. His simply didn't care. They were the only people to ever have given a damn about one another, so they'd packed up, and left. They were cheerful, approachable travellers, while it lasted.
 
She'd wanted curtains - ones that were nothing like the austere ones of her childhood home; they should've been short, and embroidered with silly motifs. Smiling suns and flowers, dancing farm animals; something cheerful, because life is brighter with some colour in it, as she would often say. He'd wanted dogs; ones that got to come into the house, not be left chained outside, because why do people even get dogs if they're just going to ignore them all day? They joked about taking turns getting up in the middle of the night to clean muddy pawprints off the floors, but they weren't really talking about dogs. Or curtains.
 
In the end, they weren't talking about dogs (or curtains) either. When they died, she was grateful for the time they'd had together. He was grieving for the life they would've lived. Neither had the strength to put their thoughts into words; it didn't take long until cold numbness had replaced the feeling of their embrace. By then, neither of them could move anymore.
 
Decades later, two passing adventurers find their skeletal remains. The fighter laughs, elbows the Destruction cleric by his side (his lack of willingness to act as a healer and supporter is an ongoing source of argument for the two of them), and quips:
 
"Now THAT is why you've GOTTA use Protection!".

Observing the acrobatic skeletons (one stood on the head of the other) the hero turned to a companion and said "Now there's something you don't see every day. [insert villain's name here] either has a warped sense of humour, is one sick puppy or both."

Absolutely love it!

The "serious" poses are very inspiring for some dungeon ideas....

Considering the theme, I think it must've been... ::drumroll:: ... dead serious! (ba dumm tss!)
 
I promise it's a benevolent kind of messed-up-in-the-head-ness. Developing the ability and/or inclination to laugh at severely messed up stuff is a potent survival strategy, is all. Like, in a "Stare into the abyss, and then laugh at it!"-kind of way. WHAT'S THE ABYSS GONNA DO ABOUT THAT, HUH?! Yeah, you're not so tough, abyss! Actually, heck, you're okay, abyss. Here's your party hat, abyss. We're friends now. We can have tea parties, and fingerpaint, and tell one another pitch black jokes, and bake cookies. Good times, abyss, good times. <3

Gee TB could you have made the print any smaller. These Old eyes don't work as well as they use to. I had to get my stronger reading glasses to read this. :)
