1d6 Weird Memorabilia Items
Nevyn Holmes asked me to write a table of weird memorabilia in exchange for a tip on Ko-Fi. Nevyn’s game GUN&SLINGER is on Kickstarter at the moment and it’s one of the best things I’ve read this year. Check it out!
If you would like your own table of trinkets, drop me a tip on Ko-Fi!
- A collection of 8-inch tall figures of characters from well-known folk tales. They are carved out of wood and expertly painted, but something about the facial expressions on each one is mildly unsettling.
- A cassette tape, one of only 50 copies in existence. It is signed by the artist, but the signature seems to shift and change each time you look at it.
- An old, faded poster for a concert, housed in a heavy wooden frame. The date of the event is several years in the future even though the poster itself must be twenty years old.
- A pair of linked rubber wristbands that always feel slightly moist to the touch, with two embossed phrases – WWSD? and NO GODS NO MASTERS ONLY THE DEPTHS.
- A set of guitar picks made of thick plastic. They have been moulded to look like nails taken from the gnarled big toe of a troll.
- A folded map of the subterranean tunnels beneath the city. It comes from a licensed tour operator designed to provide a tourist experience, but someone has annotated it to show other passages that the general public never get to see.
