The prop document makers at the HPLHS are attempting the most ambitious RPG/LARP Prop project their twisted minds could conceive: a complete 17th-century version of the fabled Necronomicon! Using a comprehensive set of custom-designed vintage fonts, artwork and text, we're preparing an enormous PDF version of the Mad Arab's ultimate grimoire and Mythos tome, which players can customize, print, and bind to create their own highly detailed and insanely complete Necronomicons.
And although we have lots of material to include, we need the help of Lovecraft fans around the world to make this the best, most fun and useful Necronomicon imaginable.

Any Cthulhu player or Lovecraft fan would love to have their own highly authentic 17th-century Necronomicon, but who is crazy enough to sit down and write one? No individual since Abdul Al Hazred himself could do it, but working together, we can pull it off!

The contest deadline is now passed, and further entries are not eligible for prizes. However, we still welcome your submissions to the book. Send us your spell, drawing, chapter, or passage of mad Mythos rambling, and your entry could be included in the finished volume.
