Folded Almanac Book Prop

The talented Eric Jordan is back.  This time he brings us a handy guide for dungeon delvers in the form of a medieval-era folding almanac.  He not only shares an extensive gallery of the finished prop, but an entire thread about the creation process.  That includes the trial and error approach he used to determine the page layout for the book.  He not only had to deal with multiple pages, but those pages themselves unfold into even more leaves.

 

Wikipedia has a great write up about this unique style of pocket library.

"A folded almanac, sometimes called a physicians folded calendar, girdle book, or vade mecum, refers to a type of medieval English almanac consisting of multiple folios which are folded multiple times and bound together to create a dense yet compact vessel for information which would be used in medical practice."

The Head of Mimir

"Me? I'm the greatest ambassador to the Gods, the Giants, and all the creatures of the Nine Realms. I know every corner of these lands, every language spoken, every war waged, every deal struck. They call me… Mimir! --smartest man alive, and I have the answer to your every question."

Parts N Crafts brings us one of the coolest video game props I've seen in a while- the head of Mimir, god of wisdom, from the latter-day God of War games.

 

 

Gage Prentiss Cthulhu Statue

Longtime friend of the site Tim Lonegan dropped me a note yesterday about this incredible piece.  He commissioned a truly unique Cthulhu statue from artist Gage Prentiss, himself no stranger to these pages.  I strongly recommend clicking through on the link to check out the full gallery of photographs and the detailed backstory behind the statue.  

You'll have a chance to view the piece in person at the NecronomiCON Providence art show in August. 

 

Anders Lerche Cthulhu Idol

This hefty beast comes to us from Danish artist Anders Lerche.  It's an unusual piece in that the casting is a latex skin filled with urethane foam.  I believe that would make it not only a nifty Mythos prop, but a LARP-safe weapon as well.  Heh.  

 

Handouts for Operation Fulminate

Over on Reddit, the intriguingly named Mothmansight has posted a collection of handouts for Operation Fulminate: Sentinels of Twilight, the introductory scenario in the Delta Green Handler's Guide.  They help round out an investigation that already includes an impressive number of printed props. 

 

Cthulhu By Gaslight

Good morning, friends.  Seth Skorkowsky returns to our pages with a review of "Cthulhu by Gaslight", Chaosium's official campaign transplanting "Call of Cthulhu" into the Victorian era.  He offers details on the differences from a 1920s campaign, both in terms of rules and historical background, with great advice on some of the unique quirks of the specialized gaslight skills.

If you aren't following him already you should add him to your viewing list.  He's consistently one of the best sources of "Call of Cthulhu" information on YouTube.
