Chaosium asked for the HPLHS' help in designing some of the props which were used as rewards for Kickstarter backers of The Horror on the Orient Express, a game supplement for The Call of Cthulhu®. This  downloadable prop PDF package includes full-color versions of some of the key prop handouts called for by the game.  With our handy instructions, you can print them up right in your own home on an inkjet printer for your own personal use. They're great for players of this campaign, other vintage role playing games, or just for folks who enjoy vintage documents. The collection includes:

  • Covers and interior pages for vintage passports from France, Germany, Italy, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States
  • A replica British telegram blank
  • A 1923 European Souvenir calendar
  • Authentic placecards for a dinner seating on the Orient Express
  • A dinner menu for the Orient Express
  • A replica ticket for the Orient Express

The collection includes 17 multi-page PDF files with instructions for making your own high-quality prop documents. The files are delivered electronically via digital download.

Please Note: this collection does NOT contain all of the props from the Horror on the Orient Express campaign. This is a subset of props for which Chaosium asked us to be involved.

PLEASE NOTE: the prop documents are provided as Acrobat PDFs, and are intended to be modified only within Acrobat using form fields. Due to the large number of third-party proprietary fonts and embedded images in the documents themselves, and the innumerable permutations of system software, design applications, etc., attempting to open the documents outside of Acrobat leads to unexpected and usually deleterious results. Many of the props have customizable form fields built in, but some of the props are not intended for modification. The PDFs are password-protected and cannot be opened in Photoshop, Illustrator, or any program other than Adobe Acrobat.

Orient Express Handouts

What we have here are PDFs of various countries' passports, and some OE specific content such as a menu, ticket and UK telegram forms for use in Chaosium's "Horror on the Orient Express".

I play exclusively online these days, so I wanted the passports etc for *digital* handouts. I went into the purchase understanding that to make them ready for prime time I'd be importing to GIMP and editing before exporting and loading to Roll20 (my VTT of choice).

What I got in the package was very good for the price I paid.

A star came off because I would have liked to see the passport photo seals and entry/exit "stamps" for the countries encountered in the scenarios as "png" images to put in the passports. I have been unable to source these elsewhere, and lack the skill to make my own convincing stamps.

Those making physical copies could use coins to fake embossing stamps. I believe that was suggested in "Masks of Nyarlathotep" many years ago. Entry/exit stamps could be hand drawn with a marker if one has the skill.

Great props!

I really enjoy using handouts in my games, so these props were just great! The craft and effort that obviously has gone into creating them is just fantastic!

Quality stuff indeed!

All the props are quality stuff with nice fonts and detailed help-guide on the first page: what color of the paper should be, etc. Wirth to buy!
