This delightfully icky fungally infected fairy specimen comes to us from the talented Umbrateca. The powdery, threadlike hyphae are a fantastic detail.

The Monkey Rodeo returns to our pages after a long absence with this Polynesian-themed Cthulhu idol. I love the sculpt, but it really needs a wash to bring out the details like the inscription along the base.
"c.godzilla" has posted some great pictures of this outstanding Cthulhu idol, originally sculpted by the talented Keisuke Yoneyama.
This impressive barbarian warlord axe comes to us from Artdarme Workshop. It's wild to me that LARP safe weapons like this are par for the course these days.
I knew Prop Movie Money was the go-to site for fake United States currency, but I assumed it was all modern bills. Imagine my surprise when I discovered they also have a complete selection of cash from the 1920s. Just the thing for classic-era Mythos and pulp gaming. At $24.99 for 100 bills it's probably cheaper to buy from them than print your own.
While it's not a huge issue, I don't think their bills are accurately sized. Up until 1929, the Treasury, National Banks, and Federal Reserve issued "large format" notes measuring 7.37 inches by 3.12 inches. After that, they used our modern measurements of 6.14 by 2.61 inches.
I was also surprised to see Prop Movie Money had $2 bills in their 1920s collection. Turns out they were a thing in 1917 and 1918 before returning for a run in 1928. After that they wouldn't return until 1953.
I want to give a ringing endorsement of the Cthulhu Architect Handout site. It's one of the most practical, high-quality, and user-friendly tools available for game masters looking to up their game. Best of all, it's absolutely free.
Over 250 templates are available, the vast majority tailored to classic-era scenarios. The site allows you to generate authentic-looking 1920s documents in minutes, including standbys like telegrams, newspaper clippings, police reports, and handwritten notes. The interface is easy to use and allows you to customize every bit of text with a variety of typography and layout choices. You can even add "bloodstains" or coffee rings for that extra touch of wear. When you're done customizing your document they're easy to export for printing or digital use.
The focus is on period paperwork, but you'll also find a variety of modern templates. That includes contemporary drivers licenses, computer screens, and CCTV overlays. Just the thing if you're running a modern-era Mythos game like Delta Green.
While the site offers a wealth of functionality for free, the premium "Cultist" option provides more storage space, early access to new templates, and direct export to FoundryVTT. It's clear that this site was built by someone who loves the hobby. The interface is clean, the updates are frequent, and it's the perfect tool for game masters running a high-touch, handout heavy game.
