Propnomicon: The Book of the Third Eye

Mille Cuirs brings us another impressive example of tomecraft with the Book of the Third Eye. Featuring a hand-tooled leather cover with custom made inset eye.

What's All This?

Propnomicon focuses on horror and fantasy props of interest to fans of H. P. Lovecraft and players of the "Call of Cthulhu" role playing game. That includes items directly inspired by Lovecraft's writing, DIY information for creating your own works, printable paper props, and source materials related to the 1920's and 30's, the "classic era" of the Cthulhu Mythos. Beyond that, the proprietor of the blog also enjoys pulp action stories, classic supernatural horror, mad science, and the occasional foray into more modern interpretations of the Mythos.

DIY Propmaking Resources

Cthulhu Architect Handouts- easy to use online handout generator with everything from telegrams and letters to text exchanges.
Indy Gear- a site dedicated to Indiana Jones and the plethora of props found in all four movies. Be sure to visit the forum for advice, ready to print items, and inspiration.
The H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society- the group that almost single-handedly revolutionized CoC prop creation. Free PDF's of prop documents, an amazing adventure archive, and great merchandise.
The Replica Prop Forum- heavily skewed towards reproductions of movie props, particularly "Star Wars". Still, the DIY material is priceless.
