Hail to the King

What happens when a progressive rock group embraces the King in Yellow?  Shadoko42 on Reddit brings us the answer with this selection of custom props for his Call of Cthulhu campaign.

As a long-time rock DJ I absolutely love this stuff.  There's a huge overlap between the history of rock and roll and the occult that can serve as very fertile ground for the Mythos.  Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin has made no secret of his fascination with Alistair Crowley.  That includes his purchase of Boleskin House, one of The Beast's former residences.  David Bowie was a serious believer in magic in addition to his fondness for science fiction, making him a particularly appropriate inspiration.
