Shrunken Head Gaff

This traditional-style shrunken head gaff comes to us from John Pinkerton of The Monster Sandbox. One of the nice things about using latex for a prop like this is that the rubber shrinks and darkens as it ages, making it more realistic over time.

The Original Tablet Computer

Ireneusz Biernacki brings us this tableaux featuring recreations of medieval bone dice, coins, and a wax writing tablet. Compared to our modern tablets it had limited storage capacity, but it did have the advantage of not requiring an external power source. Well, other than a few hours in bright sunlight to melt down the wax when you really wanted to wipe the memory.

Mummified Goblin Head

Tom Kuebler says this mummified goblin head is a gaff.  I have my doubts.

Have You Seen the Yellow Sign?

Cthulhu Jewellry returns to our pages with this nicely done Yellow Sign amulet.

Great Cthulhu

This incredible Great Cthulhu plaque comes to us from artist George Tsougkouzidis.  I'd weep for joy if I had just half of his talent.

Talisman of Yig

"It seems that Yig, the snake-god of the central plains tribes—presumably the primal source of the more southerly Quetzalcoatl or Kukulcan—was an odd, half-anthropomorphic devil of highly arbitrary and capricious nature. He was not wholly evil, and was usually quite well-disposed toward those who gave proper respect to him and his children, the serpents; but in the autumn he became abnormally ravenous, and had to be driven away by means of suitable rites."

The talented Jason McKittrick returns to our pages with his latest Mythos piece- the Talisman of Yig.  It goes on sale tomorrow.  Just click through the link for details.

Common Talislan Font

This brings back memories.  The Common Talislan font was put together by Michael Dolan from the scraps of text included in the various editions of the Talislanta tabletop role-playing game.  It's ideal for re-purposing for prop scrolls and documents.

As an aside, it's pretty amazing how much the default Dungeons & Dragons setting has come to resemble the high-entropy, multi-racial milieux that games like Arduin and Talislanta pioneered.
