Making Hieroglyphic Tablets

Jake Hellbach has posted a detailed look at how he created Egyptian hieroglyphic tablets for an upcoming video project.  The end results are impressive.

 

Hail to the King

Camilla: You, sir, should unmask.

Stranger: Indeed?

Cassilda: Indeed, it's time. We all have laid aside disguise but you.

Stranger: I wear no mask. 

Camilla: (Terrified, aside to Cassilda) No mask? No mask!

 - Robert W. Chambers, The King in Yellow

I have a deep and abiding fondness for those that dare to clothe themselves as the King in Yellow.  This take from KMK Designs is an absolute banger of a costume.  There's so much to like here.  The frayed and tattered robe, the embroidered glyphs, and that mask.  When you look at the closeup shot you realize the empty hood is actually a maw lined with dozens of human teeth. 

 

"Day of the Beast" Handouts

In many ways, "Day of the Beast" from Chaosium is the little brother of "Masks of Nyarlathotep".  Both were originally published back in 1984 ("Day of the Beast" as "The Fungi from Yuggoth") and involved a globe spanning fight against creatures of the Mythos.  In the case of "Beast" that was the Mi-Go, as the original title gave away.

Over on Reddit, Pomchop put together a plethora of handouts for their running of the adventure.  Even better, they've made all of that impressive prep work available for free.  Yet another example of the awesomeness of the "Call of Cthulhu" community. 

 

Mounted Tommyknocker

"The Knocker, Knacker, or Tommyknocker (US) is a mythical, subterranean, gnome-like creature in Cornish and Devon folklore. The Welsh counterpart is the coblyn. It is closely related to the Irish leprechaun, Kentish kloker and the English and Scottish brownie."

- Wikipedia 

Despite their propaganda, there are vanishingly few beneficial fae.  One of the few helpful types are the Knockers that dwell in mines.  This example of the North American Tommyknocker comes to us from Caleb Volek of Wendigo Oddities. 

 

Great Cthulhu

Raven Rachelstone brings us this traditional-style Cthulhu idol.
