Making a Glowing Skull Lantern

Skill Tree has a detailed tutorial on crafting a glowing skull lantern.  The materials are easy to acquire and it doesn't require any wiring at all.  A couple of hours work and you'll have a great prop for your gaming room or LARP event.

 

 

Before and After

Over on Reddit, the Muff1nKing posted a look at the clue board he created for his run of the Call of Cthulhu scenario "Tatters of the King".  The first photo is from the second session of the campaign, while the second comes from the tenth.  It features some great props and handouts, but it should go without saying the images contain significant spoilers.  

Clueboards are a fantastic tool for both Keepers and their players.  They allow everyone to keep track of their progress, and are an ideal way for players to get into the groove again at the start of a new session.  They're also a good reminder for the Keeper of a journaling campaign what handouts he'll need multiple copies of for the players. 

 

D&D Themed Gaming Room

This is the very best kind of gamer pr0n.  Andrew Havlicek brings us this look at "The Storm's Respite", his recently completed Dungeons and Dragons gaming room. It's pretty darn impressive.

Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes Props

I absolutely love discovering obscure props created by passionate fans.  This thread over on the Replica Prop Forum is a prime example.  Like all right-thinking people, Lukeiswho is a huge fan of the Granada Television Sherlock Holmes series starring Jeremy Brett.  Over the years he's created an impressive collection of props based on those used in the show, recreating them in excruciating detail.  You really need to click through to appreciate the level of dedication on display.

Yeray Llinares Cthulhu Idol

The talented Yeray Llinares returns to our pages with this excellent Cthulhu idol.   

Update:  An anonymous commenter has accused Mr. Llinares of plagiarizing the work of fellow Mythos artist Yoneyama Keisuke.  As evidence, they provided a link to his Cthulhu sculpt posted on Instagram back in 2018.  I've posted the best side-by-side comparison I can manage below.  Just click through on the link to see the comparison in higher resolution.   I've made Mr. Llinares aware of the accusation on his own Instagram post.

 

Update II:  Mr. Llinares contacted me directly and explained he created the sculpt years ago using a reference photo from Pinterest.  He's pulled the original post and followed up with an acknowledgement he was inspired by Mr. Keisuke's work.
