One of my favorite T-shirts

I purchased this T-shirt awhile back and it remains easily one of my all-time favorite T-shirts. The 100% cotton material is pleasantly breathable and the logo is tastefully designed. One thing I'd like to point out though is that the logo is slightly larger than the one in the picture. Other than that this is a fantastic T-shirt and I make it a point to wear it whenever I go to conventions, concerts, and other public events. Its a great conversation starter and its helped me tell countless people about this great historical society. If you're a member of the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society, a fan of Lovecraft, or just a fan of great T-shirts then I highly recommend this phenomenal T-shirt.

Let your Lovecraft Flag fly

Ordered one of these in a larger size, in case it shrank in the wash. Definitely going to wear it in the winter with my Miskatonic Varsity jacket. How else am I going to let my Lovecraft Flag fly?

Classy t-shirt

Fantastic way to show your support for the society ! And a good way to support Mr Lovecraft in general !!

A welcome expansion

Making the individual maps from the separate HPLHS collection of Game Prop Maps available this way, is a sensible move for people wishing to avoid duplication of maps they may have already from the physical props that come with the DART radio productions. The HPLHS have gone further here though, by adding fresh maps, still in the same high-quality, period-reproduction style. Having the map collection set already, it was the new maps only that I opted for here - those of San Francisco’s Gray Line Motor Tours, the two Miskatonic Institute for Geographical Observation’s charts of Unexplored Places of the World, and the Miskatonic University’s expedition seeking the “Lost World” in Venezuela, plus the stunningly huge map of Providence, R.I., from 1921. These are all as excellent as the others, but as someone who attempted to map Lovecraft’s Providence in detail a few years ago, using digital period maps of the city available online, including some quite similar to this Providence one, it was an especial joy to finally hold a paper copy in-hand. Cartographic fans should need no prompting, and those involved with role-playing games will find them equally invaluable as props. Highly recommended!

A Cartographer’s Delight

From a lifetime of viewing, using, drawing and enjoying maps of all kinds, picking-up this set scarcely needed consideration, and as other reviewers here have noted previously, it does not disappoint. The quality is all we’ve come to expect from the HPLHS. Those with a full complement of the DART radio productions with the physical props, will recognise several items here, although many are new, reproduced from genuine 1920s-1930s period examples. Even today, detailed published maps of some of these places - Antarctica and the Southeastern Pacific Ocean, for example - are hard to come-by, as I discovered in my own earlier attempts to map some of the areas described in Lovecraft’s tales over the past forty years. Chaosium has long provided maps with their Call of Cthulhu role-playing game, including period-style versions that these maps sit well alongside, so this is a perfect way to expand on those options. Although the HPLHS’ maps are also now available separately as individual items, with fresh additions, this boxed collection still makes a particularly fine starting-place for map enthusiasts, for whom this set is strongly recommended.

It’s Unforgotten now...

This is a review of the softback booklet version only. I decided to save the hardback one until the RPG set including it is ready!

Latest in the line of reproduction Miskatonic University Press’ Monographs from the early 20th century by the HPLHS, this booklet enjoys the usual formatting for that series, including images of the original document on glossy paper, two as fold-outs, and two, including the cover photo - in colour. The illustrated, expert-written texts are all we’ve come to expect from others in this Monograph collection, here with those experts sometimes tying themselves metaphorically in knots in trying to explain the inexplicable. Rare use of contractions, such as “it’s” for “it is”, jar occasionally, compared with texts from the historical 1920s and 1930s, but these are minor distractions overall, in another beautifully-produced work of its kind. Ah, those hidden messages are calling, not least thanks to the mystical time-travelling nature of the book, no doubt a result of the action of the text’s extracts contained within (see the interior copyright date, if confused!).

Third year!

It's great to be a member of the HP Lovecraft Historical Society. I'll keep renewing my membership as long as I'm alive and kicking. I'm constantly told that I should become a lifetime member, but people don't seem to understand what it means to have no income, except a pathetic amount of benefits which is constantly under threat from the government.

Be interesting to see other holidays and events.

Greetings;

I had found several of the old dvds from before at as certain long dead second hand shop and was hooked. Occasionally discover songs and videos elsewhere but often tied to this group. That said. Is this holiday set worth your time? If you are at all interested in holiday themed music and aren't super hung up on content. Plus, if you are already on this site, you could do far worse. Give it a shot, especially if they should decide to retire the set like other pieces they had. Who remembers shoggoth on the roof? Believe it was theirs as well and it is gone. Had a short making of dvd and song book differently printed from the smaller ones included with this title. Really though, where are our other holiday parodies?
