Clickity Clack

"Brave-as-a-noun" went completely old school to produce props for a new Call of Cthulhu campaign.  He used an actual vintage typewriter to produce teaser messages that he then mailed to his players.  That's insanely cool. 

 

Clay Tablet Props

Avason created these clay tablet props for a Dungeons and Dragons adventure.  The process was pretty straight forward.  They rolled out a sheet of polymer clay, sculpted the raised figures, then used a toothpick to engrave the writing.  The results demonstrate a pretty high effort/reward ratio. 

 

Glue Gun Wax Seals

There are few things more evocative in a tabletop RPG session than a hand-written letter with an impressed wax seal.  The only problem is that traditional melted wax can be tricky, not to mention messy, to work with.*  As an alternative, artist Katrina Crouch has an incredibly detailed tutorial on how to create them with a glue gun.  It's aimed at brides doing their own wedding invitations, but the techniques are equally applicable to prop use. 

 *Personally, I also have some concerns about the safety of sealing wax.  Most of the commercially available products are manufactured in China and carry a non-zero risk of being contaminated with lead and other heavy metals.  I religiously use a respirator, but that just adds to the hassle factor of prepping a prop document. 

The Bound Prince

Ebrahel Lurci brings us Lucifer, the Bound Prince.  Another wonderfully creepy piece combining a wildly imaginative sculpt with with a worn and weathered patina.

 

 

Cthulhu Fhtagn! Nigeqb Edition

This cool little Cthuhu idol comes to us from Nigeqb.  Sculpted in epoxy resin with a very cool opalescent finish. 

 

Grimoire of the Skull

Another glorious example of tomecraft from MilleCuirs.  His latest grimoire features a hand-tooled leather cover and custom skull hardware.
