In The Wild, Part Deux

Even with his phone camera, Ed Webb manages to take better pictures than me. And reading the rest of his blog reinforces my belief that the Mythos community is scarily well-educated. It can't be a coincidence that so many Lovecraft fans mirror his protagonists- antiquarians, librarians, historians, academics, doctors, artists, and journalists.

Postal Brushes

The always helpful Alban Sanz sent me a link to these useful Postage Brushes featuring modern and classic postal embellishments. The set is usable with both Photoshop and GIMP. There are few better ways to start a scenario than to have a mysterious package delivered to the player's door.

Out In The Wild

Miskatonic University swag out in the wild. Everybody can take better pictures of this stuff than I can. Heh.

Fantaspoa Awards

Artist Leonardo Dias of Brazil sculpted these horrifically nice awards for his local Fantaspoa fantastic film festival. The detail and fluidity of the work is outstanding, and I love the imagery of a tentacle crushing a blackened human heart.



You can see more of Mr. Dias' amazing work at his MySpace page. Just as a heads-up, there's some potentially NSFW imagery on display.

Miskatonic University ID Badge

This is a basic, modern-era Miskatonic University identification badge. It should fit most badge holders, but if you're using the Avery brand you may have to shrink it about 5%. Click through for the full sized graphic. After printing just trim along the crop marks with scissors or an X-Acto knife.

Eldritch Coffee

From artist Joe Broers comes this amusing mockup for H.P. Lovecraft's Eldritch Coffee. Click through for the full sized version suitable for printing on cardstock.

Abubuju Statuette

I just ordered one of these wonderfully creepy Abubuju statuettes from Nethercraft. Most of their sculptural works are in the traditional sword and sorcery vein, but a few would make great occult artifacts.
