I love seeing tabletop roleplaying items turned into physical props. This massive Githyanki silver greatsword comes to us from Olympian props. I'd class this as a videogame prop as well, since it's obviously modeled after the similar item in Baldur's Gate 3.

Fallout Propapalooza
If you haven't seen it yet, I would highly recommend Amazon's Fallout series. It's not perfect, but on a scale of 1 to 10 I'd give it an 8.5. I'll avoid any outright spoilers, but I hopped on the hype train for the second season based solely on the ending of the final episode. *That* location, and the cameo from *that* character, were a very pleasant surprise.
Thanks to the series, interest in the props from the franchise has hit a new spike. Luckily, Much Props has a whole series of DIY videos, including this one on crafting a T-45d power armor helmet from foam. What's wild is that this video is one of just 45 (!) Fallout props he's done and collected into this playlist.

Book of the Skull
Ukrainian artist Sladjana Vukelic returns to our pages with another of her signature distressed tomes. Part of the fun of propmaking, at least for me, is speculating how a prop was created. For the longest time I didn't have a clue how she was creating the detailed embossed designs on her tome covers, but I think I finally figured it out.

Portable Cannon
Artist Tomas Barcelo is the man behind this insanely great portable cannon LARP prop. Not only is it a beautifully crafted piece, but the level of thought and detail that went into it is mind boggling. Just look at the gallery of shots documenting how the backpack is positioned to actually fire the beast. Mr. Barcelo is a shining example of incredible creativity combined with technical ability.

Unholy Icon
The gifted Maarten Verhoeven returns to our pages with this fantastic piece, Corrupted. The adornments and spiky halo really give it the feel of an evil religious icon.

Kobold Kaboom
You kids today and your dragonkin kobolds don't know how good you have it. I'm old enough to remember when D&D kobolds were canines. Now get off my lawn!
No matter what kind of kobolds you favor, including the original Germanic fae, they'll be even more mischievous than normal with this nifty bronze kobold bomb, complete with charging powder, from Burned Raven Tales.

Macabre Mermaid
Umbrateca returns to our pages with this dead mermaid specimen. I can only imagine how long it took to apply all those miniature scales.
