The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society has really outdone themselves with the Arkham Investigator’s Wallet (2023). You might be familiar with their cool literary prop art objects, or the boxes of RPG props for Masks of Nyarlathotep and the Call of Cthulhu 40th anniversary box. This time, they’ve penned their own Call of Cthulhu scenario, The Dog Walker, and packed a genuine leather wallet full of props in support of that.

The props aren’t just for that scenario though — most of them are handy, all purpose scraps that will be handy for any investigation (and I swear I read somewhere that some will be used in the recent reissue of Arkham Unveiled, but I can’t find that quote now). There’s a driver’s license, a car registration, a gun license, a street car token, a mysterious key, a gold coin, a Miskatonic University Orne Library Card, an Arkham street guide, a cigarette card, a fortune, classified ads from the newspaper and more. My favorite bit is a card from the Grafton Diner, with notches ticked toward a free meal. Close second is the Eye of Amara membership card. All of the ephemera feels right, with period-correct designs. Did I mention the wallet is actually leather? It’s going to be a long time before someone figures out a way to top this as a gorgeous and useful (and not prohibitively expensive) RPG prop.

The scenario is good, too! It is definitely…uh…not what you expect. And, bonus: you can even play it solo — just get a pal to customize the props the way the PDF says!
