One simply cannot do better for comfort and quality than this T from Miskatonic U., whilst bearing the reminder that knowledge is power tells alert passers-by that one is not to be trifled with. Spiffing.
I have one and I love it, so I got another, this time for my son.
I like a loose fitting tee shirt and this one fits the bill. It is stylish and shows my love of Lovecraft at the same time
I am very pleased with this t-shirt. It is of high quality material and has not faded or shrunk in the wash. I look forward to purchasing other clothing items in the future.
When pursuing an antiquarian inquiry by exploring an abandoned cemetery one must have the correct apparel. Accordingly, this father and son team very much recommends the MU "Knowledge is Power" shirt. By bearing the MU seal on the front and an academic motto upon the back, it clearly conveys the seriousness with which the said inquiry is being taken. (The MU "Knowledge is Power" shirt also looks great on the College Days that are oh-so-common at high schools across the land and one does not actually own anything from one's actual alma mater. This is especially the case when paired with one of the HPLHS MU coffee mugs.)
The piece is hand crafted with very much the appearance and feel of a genuine artifact. It's worth keeping the display card.
This is a fantastic addition to the campaign! Every item in the box is top quality, can't wait for my investigators to get their hands on this!
Such a treasure! Superbly exquisite quality. Every Lovecraft fanatic and collector must own this. It's worth every penny!
In the long, winding corridors of scholarship—and I speak as someone who’s crawled through actual ones in the musty basements filled with the detritus of rotten texts —it is rare to encounter a document that so convincingly masquerades as both object and oracle. The Liber Oblitus, the latest fictitious monograph from the tireless craftsmen of the HPLHS Society’s Miskatonic University Press, is not merely a pastiche of academic research—it is a deliberate act of scholarly invocation.
Let me be plain: this is not just a book. It is a weaponized artifact of intellectual archaeology.
From the moment I laid hands on the moss-green cover—saddle-stitched with care and confidence—I was struck by the weight of authenticity. The typography, layout, and citations are not just “in character.” They are indistinguishable from the seminar-room mimeographs of a more disciplined era, when even imagined truths required peer review.
The premise is delightfully preposterous: a team of interdisciplinary scholars, led by a meticulous (and vaguely obsessive) art historian, has unearthed a handwritten manuscript in a language unknown to linguists, impossible to date, and yet chillingly familiar to anyone acquainted with the deeper registers of Lovecraftian epistemology. Think: Voynich Manuscript meets Gödel’s incompleteness theorem... with perhaps a whiff of The King in Yellow.
But where lesser mythos tributes trade in overt horror, Liber Oblitus thrives on insinuation. Each contributor—historian, psychologist, mathematician—wrestles not only with the content but with the concept of interpretation itself. Their divergent analyses do not so much converge as spiral, drawing the reader deeper into a vortex of half-revealed patterns, suggestive symmetries, and encoded madness.
The mathematical commentary deserves special mention. What begins as a structuralist mapping exercise quickly descends (ascends?) into a probabilistic commentary on recursive infinities. I was reminded of my own work on nonlinear failure modes in hydrologic design: when a system cannot be solved by standard means, one begins to suspect the system may not want to be solved.
Add to that a psychologist’s dive into symbology and shared delusion, a historian’s brave contextualization of nonexistent empires, and art historical observations that hint at forbidden geometries rendered in hauntingly familiar brushwork, and what you have is not just a fictional book—it’s an unstable document. The kind you store in an evidence locker, not a library.
The 16-inch centerfold—resplendent in glossy detail—is both a visual reward and a challenge. I strongly advise not staring at it under dim light after midnight.
Final Assessment:If you’re a collector of Mythos artifacts, a fan of deep-cut esoterica, or a player in roleplaying campaigns where the stakes are measured in sanity points, Liber Oblitus is indispensable. This isn’t just a prop. It’s a trapdoor—beautifully built and cunningly baited—for the curious mind.
In the words of an old field operations chief I once knew, “If you find yourself needing to explain it twice, it’s probably real.”
Lovely warm hoodie, pins look great, and look forward the prepping the finest academic institution in the US
