The Haunter of the Dark & The Starry Wisdom Sect
Enough waiting! The stars are right! Never mind the bollocks, here's the free paper prop!
Attached is a membership card I designed for "the disliked and unorthodox Starry Wisdom sect." With a membership of over 180 people, I thought a dues paid / membership card was a reasonable idea for Professor Bowen to use to keep track. In the middle of 1877, Starry Wisdom was run out of town, so card is from the last year of it's existence. Perhaps left behind or burned by a fleeing cultist?
This card has blank spaces for you to add your name or your player character's name (or some NPC), the signature thereof & his member number. "Found among the papers of the late Edwin M. Lillibridge," perhaps. You could even wipe out the signature of Bowen & mark this as a printer's proof, if that seems more 'realistic.'
I designed this card by doodling & researching fraternal organization and union cards via Google and eBay. I suggest you print it on a heavy, off-white or lightly colored paper or light card stock. After weathering (if any) and filling out the name & number, simply fold along the center line, gluing both sides together. Press firmly. When dry, trim along the dotted lines. There are no hidden images or secret messages. This is a rather middle-of-the-road result, between my mad, grandest ambitions and the simplest possible design.
Enjoy!
