Perhaps the Greatest Birthday Gift My Wife has Ever Received

She absolutely loved absolutely everything that came in the package - she even kept the receipt!

Fantastic job on the delivery of this!

I feel like a student

Everything here is great. The shirt and mug are great quality. I have had mine years and they are still going strong.

My diploma is framed on my wall (next to my certification of insanity).

Props are as always perfect, attention to detail is incredible and you'd be hard pressed to be disappointed with anything here.

Detail is great.

I love the detail in the random collection of items that any student, circa the late 20s, early 30s would have tucked into a school book as they hurried from class to class.

A great collection

It's a great combo. The mug was larger than I had anticipated (in a good way) and the t-shirt feels great. The documents; a work of art and certainly adds a curious extra to your other papers, touched with an odd esoterica.

So cool

I was a bit daunted at first by the thought of all those possibilities, but this turned out to be soooo much fun! And any production where there's singing* from Andrew and Sean (and that lovely actress, I can't think of her name) gets quadruple bonus points from me! I hope there's more like it in the future, at least song-wise. That might just be my music major bias though, lol.
Thanks everyone who put their heart and soul into this thing!
[*I mean I assume Sean and the lady sing, but I've only played through the Wawatseka timeline once so far. So much to do!!!]

Awesome Props

Incredible props made in loving detail, one could think they are the real thing. Also the packaging looking like boxes from various museums getting dusty in forgotten shelves labeled by their archeological discoverer or museum curator… you guys are the best!

Crushes It!

“The Venus of Ille” seems a curious tale to rework into a DART production, as while mentioned twice in-passing in Lovecraft’s “Supernatural Horror in Literature” discussion, it’s not especially highlighted there with other notes. Perhaps it was a little too earthy for Lovecraft’s taste. It certainly comes across that way in this adaptation, true to the original, albeit not in an overtly offensive manner. As usual, the DART team brings the whole to life (appropriately!) in excellent style, perhaps with nods to Tim Burton’s animated movie “The Corpse Bride” in a few elements (including the characterisation of the bridegroom’s mother), if elements hard to disentangle from the various earlier tropes involved, including the central statue-comes-to-life motif from long before Prosper Mérimée’s story was penned. The accompanying props add to the experience nicely. Semi-pictorial postcard maps like that of Wight can be bought still at seaside towns across the UK, and the illustrations of Brading Villa’s Roman mosaics, including fish-tailed humans, opens-up archaeological vistas stretching back to early second millennium BCE Babylonia, should the HPLHS feel inclined to dig deeper. It’s not just the tennis that’s real here! While not strongly Lovecraftian, this remains a real treat for fans of 1930s-style radio shows in the DART mould.

Deep Desert Dangers Discovered!

A cleverly-devised pulp adventure created by the HPLHS, based on a chance remark in a Lovecraft letter, combined with a relatively obscure site in the Libyan Desert just west of the great Qattara Depression in western modern Egypt, the Siwa Oasis. The place was rather less obscure in ancient times (the Romans knew it as Ammonium), and a route across the northern desert still passes through it that originated far earlier. The props with the physical DART production define Siwa well, and the leading character of Count De Prorok, a fictionalised, genuine explorer and treasure-hunter. The large, beautifully-drawn, map of Siwa, reproduced from a 1929 original, is a particular delight. While the tale starts a little slowly, that allows it to build nicely in stages of discovery to the final climax, providing much useful atmosphere concerning the dangers of desert travel and the political realities in the region during the later 1920s and 1930s. Parts of the latter stages of the action become a little confused, and bear repeated, careful listening to straighten out more - although perhaps it’s better not to peer too closely at sanity-threatening Things Lovecraftian! All-in-all, a fine addition to the DART repertoire.
