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.
If the number of fans of Tolkien's LOTR appendices (where all the alphabets, genealogies, and other lovely details were dwelt on at length) didn't make a point, the number of times fans put HPL's own Necronomicon backstory into library card catalogs --- or several different actually published book versions! --- should have. Citations make the story more real... as the saga of Ibid (author of Op. Cit.) demonstrates.
