I re-purposed this photograph as a depiction of Nazir Achmed Zehavi for the "Masks of Nyarlathotep" project. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but I think the portrait perfectly captures his character, in every sense.

That's a fantastic photo. What an evocative face!
ReplyDeleteYour "Masks of Nyarlathotep" keeper and players might possibly enjoy and/or benefit from the campaign maps Droesler has posted at Yog-Sothoth.com.

The quality of the free materials produced by the Mythos community continually amazes me.
As Elmo gradually replaced lovable, fuzzy old Grover in all the Sesame Street promotions, _something_ had to be done. ;)
ReplyDeleteI went a little crazy on it.

Well, Elmo, all I can say is to look out for characters named Fezto.
ReplyDeleteHa! Outstanding, Raven.
ReplyDeleteI nearly got thrown out of a shooting range once for using Elmo targets. ;)
The real-life gentleman in the photo (Jacob, son of Aaron, the Samaritan high priest) had some 1906 correspondence of his published in a 1907 issue of the Open Court, a monthly magazine out of Chicago.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, a trivia point about Jacob's turban. It's red, as all Samaritans were required by (then-Islamic) law to so identify themselves. The Nazir, of course, would have worn a different color, so presume grey or brown or (if he was a hajji) green.
