"Day of the Beast" Handouts

In many ways, "Day of the Beast" from Chaosium is the little brother of "Masks of Nyarlathotep".  Both were originally published back in 1984 ("Day of the Beast" as "The Fungi from Yuggoth") and involved a globe spanning fight against creatures of the Mythos.  In the case of "Beast" that was the Mi-Go, as the original title gave away.

Over on Reddit, Pomchop put together a plethora of handouts for their running of the adventure.  Even better, they've made all of that impressive prep work available for free.  Yet another example of the awesomeness of the "Call of Cthulhu" community. 

 

Mounted Tommyknocker

"The Knocker, Knacker, or Tommyknocker (US) is a mythical, subterranean, gnome-like creature in Cornish and Devon folklore. The Welsh counterpart is the coblyn. It is closely related to the Irish leprechaun, Kentish kloker and the English and Scottish brownie."

Despite their propaganda, there are vanishingly few beneficial fae.  One of the few helpful types are the Knockers that dwell in mines.  This example of the North American Tommyknocker comes to us from Caleb Volek of Wendigo Oddities. 

 

Great Cthulhu

Raven Rachelstone brings us this traditional-style Cthulhu idol.   

 

Dragon Trophy

 

 

What better accessory for your gaming room than a massive, mounted dragon head?  This monstrous 46 inch long beast comes to us from Lozthegreat over on Reddit.  Click through on the link for a full description of the build process and over a dozen additional pictures of the final product.
 

The Great Old One

James Ewing just started experimenting with metal casting, and was kind enough to share his very first piece- this nicely done Cthulhu design in pewter. 

 

Shaman's Mask

Brutal Workshop returns to our pages with this fantastic shaman's mask.  I love the contrast of the brown organic elements and the squamous texture of the mask itself.  It's rare indeed that I get to use that wonderfully Lovecraftian word in the proper context.

 

 

'Tis the Season

Halloween is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than a trip to Innsmouth?  The Haunted Rose is an over-the-top home haunt heavily inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft, including an entire section set in the quaint seaside town that serves as the setting for "The Shadow Over Innsmouth".  You can check out their full gallery over here, or attend the event in person October 31st and November 1st in Whittier, California.
