If you like Poe, you will probably like him, and if not, it's still cool to see all of the stuff he's inspired (most aberrations in Dnd are very Lovecraftian.) His most popular stories tend to be the ones in the Cthulhu Mythos. Check out your library or bookstore, they usually have three or four collections of his stuff. I have little to no artistic talent, and I made a great book for my campaign. What I do for pictures is print out one I like, then shade the back with pencil. Place the pencil side against your final page, then trace the outlines and shading with a ballpoint pen, which will transfer the pencil lines to the page. Once you go over it with a sharpie (watch out, they bleed through!) or a calligraphy marker, it has a great woodprint sort of look to it.

Better than nothing. I guess even if you’re never gonna make these props you could use the pics on the site. Better than nothing.

I'm not artistically inclined enough to pull these props off. But these images are great visual props by themselves. Great find Yax! This is deliciously creepy!
