The Gjenvick-Gjønvik Archives hosts a fantastic collection of vintage ephemera, much of it aimed at geneological research. It includes an extensive repository of classic-era ocean liner travel documents that would make ideal handouts for Call of Cthulhu and pulp games in the 1930s. A passage contract receipt is just about the perfect "show, don't tell" clue for figuring out where someone came from or was planning to travel to.
I normally loathe the whole "tiki Cthulhu" thing, but this... this I like. The stylized Cthulhu idol comes to us from Tikiheadz, who specializes in carving tiki idols from concrete. I like how it blends the forms of actual, historic tikis and the traditional Cthulhu depiction. Most polynesian Mythos takes lean far too much into the kitschy Trader Vic's aesthetic, and I say that as someone who loves the cheesiness of 50s era "South Seas" theming.

It's rare to come across a depiction of Hastur that doesn't embrace his King in Yellow form. Turkish artist Ebrahel Lurci brings us his take on the Unspeakable One, complete with a nicely done presentation case.
McCormick Wands returns to our pages with a trio of their "Aurora" style wizarding wands in Bolivian rosewood and maple. As always, and incredible level of craftsmanship on display.
Artedarme Workshop returns to our pages with their latest LARP weapon. This time it's a recreation of a 16th century Cinquedea dagger, based on an original in the Metropolitan Museum collection. If you're not familiar with this type of weapon you can learn more over on Wikipedia. It was one of the few daggers designed for slashing instead of piercing.
This is pretty cool. Thomas E. Shkurti has released a free Call of Cthulhu tabletop scenario set in gaslight-era Australia.
No Place of Honour is a tale of mystery, science, tragedy, time, and Victorian hubris, set deep in the Australian Outback in 1888. Investigators will be joining a medical aid mission to the remote mining settlement of Monument Station, which has been stricken by a mysterious plague- or, have the miners instead awakened an ancient, invisible killer?
The scenario includes 137 pages of slow-burn, sandbox exploration and investigation; with 6 full-color maps, 12 handouts, and 6 full-page illustrations, along with 6 pre-generated characters. It provides roughly 15-20 hours of play, and best accommodates a small group of 2 or 3 players.
The full scenario is available for free download from Google Drive here:

Based on a quick read-through, it's an interesting period adventure with a great twist. (You can find out more about that by clicking through to Mr. Shkurti's Reddit post and looking at the spoiler text.) The complete adventure package includes an impressive collection of maps and handouts, exactly the kind of thing that's our bread and butter here at Propnomicon.
Kudos to Mr. Shkurti for an intriguing scenario and a willingness to share it with the community free of charge.
