The Gatsby Lounge

If you've been looking for a source for classic-era music, might I recommend The Gatsby Lounge on YouTube?  They have dozens of hour+ videos featuring jazz from the 1920s and 30s.  I'm not crazy about the AI-generated thumbnails, but the music selection is top-notch.

Alduin's Wall

This 22" recreation of Alduin's Wall from Skyrim comes to us from Silverrend Props.  It looks like it will work out to one inch for every year between the release of Skyrim and the next Elder Scrolls game.  <rimshot>

"The Haunting" Handouts

"The Haunting" has been the introductory adventure for the Call of Cthulhu TTRPG for decades.  Over that time multiple keepers have gone all-in to make it a more immersive experience for players.  That includes MrKennyG41, who posted all of the handouts he collected and created to Google Drive.

LARP Morningstars

Artedarme Workshop brings us a pair of LARP-safe morningstars.  My mind is continually boggled by how far live action weapons have come since the old days of tube insulation and duct tape.

Hell Hound Trophy

The talented Grant Cross returns to our pages with this gruesome mounted hell hound head.  There are just so many levels of squicky at work, what with the pustules, the dripping fluids, and the rotting flesh.

Carcosian Star Chart Fragment

Sean McLaughlin of base113 games brings us this very cool set of paper props:

"I originally just made the star chart with a couple of notes.  Trying to decide which version to go with, I asked around, and it seemed everyone agree that a version with notes was the best way to go.  So I decided to expand the notes a bit.  Using a floating frame I discovered amongst my various parts and pieces (still a pain to photograph well) I put together a slightly larger display than I first planned." 

He's been kind enough to not only detail the creation of the star charts, but provide the source files as well.  Just click on the link above.

Stop, A Head

The all-too-appropriately named Relics of the Blind Dead brings us this horrific cadaver head.  And by "horrific", I mean awesome.

A Hobbit's Desk

Michael R. Miranda returns to our pages with this wonderful tableaux of a hobbit's desk, filled with a variety of prop documents and items.

As an aside, I've always wanted to run a hobb...er, halfling-only fantasy RPG campaign.  They're well known for being the only race almost totally immune to dark magic and eldritch influences, making them ideal delvers for locations filled with arcane corruption.  It would be a cozy mystery version of Call of Cthulhu, with a touch of Indiana Jones.

Cthulhu Fhtagn! Oyama Edition.

This unusual depiction of Cthulhu comes to us from artist Ryu Oyama.  Based on the Google translation of the original Japanese site, it was a limited edition resin garage kit offered up back in 2020.

Thing in a Jar

We kick off 2026 with this toothy bottled specimen from Grant Cross.  The white membrane is liquid latex that's been partially rubbed off the figure.
