Badges of Distinction
This well done collection of vintage-style law enforcement badges comes to us from Dr. Gus. These would be great for any kind of period live action game, from westerns to the classic era Mythos.

Aging Props
Tod Cutler is a craftsman that specializes in reproducing historical weapons and hardware. There's a good chance you've seen his work in films and television shows like Outlaw King and The Witcher. His latest video is a look at what goes into aging and weathering his work. That includes everything from using chemical solutions to pit metal to wearing down leather with a concrete block.
What really stands out are his comments about layering damage and wear. For most of the video I genuinely thought he was out of his mind. The weathering looks horrible, but by the time he's done, exactly as he predicted, the process all comes together.
If you're currently in quarantine I'll presumptively accept your thanks for linking to Mr. Cutler's YouTube channel. You'll find hours and hours of interesting material covering the construction of historical weapons, their usage, and minutia like the relationship between bolt length and crossbow accuracy.

School Days
Arina brings us her character Dalia from the Polish Witcher School live action roleplaying game. The production values of eastern European LARPs are just insane.

Cthulhu in Pyrite
This unusual Cthulhu idol comes to us from Bico Liou. It's a great sculpt, but what I really like is the way it captures the look of a figure sculpted from a chunk of rainbow pyrite ore.

The Baleful Eye
The talented Karen Main returns to our pages with this horrific living mace. It's exactly the kind of thing I imagine a chaos-tainted warrior wielding.
