Science help me, I've got a blog.

With that out of the way, I'll explain what my intentions for it are. Over the years, I've played a lot of pen and paper RPG's; acting as the Games Master more often than not. For these games, I've very much enjoyed making various props, such as maps, ID's and other types of handouts.
Unfortunately, these props often take hours to make, and are then only used for a couple of hours in return. A good map is often the exception, with players returning to it again and again, but in most cases your carefully prepared manuscript will be perused once, have it's relevant information extracted your game savvy players, and then be discarded.

In answer to this, I've decided to post here many of the props I've used, as well as the methods I used to make them. I do this mainly in the hope that someone else will find them useful, and so the ratio of time spent creating such props vs the time players spend using them will hopefully go up.

So, here's hoping that someone will find this useful. I'm of course interested in hearing feedback and comments, and if anyone finds useful tutorials around the web, let me know so that I can post them for others.
