Forum > Call of Cthulhu

My ten-year-old's foray into the Cthulhu mythos (the game itself!)

(1/8) > >>

Hobgoblin:
My ten-year-old son recently read the graphic-novel version of At the Mountains of Madness, which a friend passed onto me some time back. He loved it (and enjoys Lovecraft readings on HP Podcraft and the like). When we were in Rome last week, he seized on the idea of running a one-shot RPG for his friends based on the story. And so he wandered through the forum and around the Colosseum musing about elder things, shoggoths and blind albino penguins.

We got back yesterday, and he immediately began making the props for the game. These are his elder things in progress. They're made from tin foil and Fimo. He's already made card-and-glue wings for one of them, but those are drying overnight. He's also made a small shoggoth out of hot glue and cocktail sticks.

I'm going to help him paint up the adventurers (pulp figures from North Star/Bob Murch) when those arrive. I've also suggested that he replace the penguins with one giant penguin; I'm going to adapt a papier-mache Hobbycraft bird to that end. But the elder things are entirely his own work.

dadlamassu:
Superb!  Imagination and ability.

DivisMal:
Magnificent! Both his reading of HPL as well as his Elder Things!

Hobgoblin:
Cheers! He was delighted by the positive feedback.

Before school this morning, he did some more work on the wings. He's left a hole for a flying stand in the torso.

Yuber Okami:
Cool!
