We had a fun event this past weekend for our sci Fi campaign boffer! I didn't take hardly enough pictures (one of our staff acts as a photographer when they can, and they got some, but I won't see those for a bit)

But yeah, here's some worms!

- Big worm that eats people (dog agility tunnel plus decoration plus sculpted pool noodle tongue)

- Little worms that players ate (Shirataki noodles with salt, MSG and garlic powder. Taste and texture shockingly close to real worm)

- Worm dissection! (It's agar agar from a silicone mold I custom sculpted. There were little jelly beads they had to extract without breaking, and each one they got they got to ask a question or make a proposal)

There were several other cool worm props, and I'll probably repost when we get those photos

I had to bang things thing out in a day and on a shoestring budget. I'm not entirely pleased with the paint job. The can I was using kept leaving really nasty lines, and if I'm honest I'm just not amazing with painting.

It's designed so that I can stand inside and puppet it, and it can eat people! We also have a giant foam tongue that it can use to grab people and slowly pull them in.

The way I get into the worm is by standing in the middle when it's fully collapsed and pulling it up around myself, so it kinda sorta looks like it's coming up out of the ground.

I'd like to put some black or red mesh in the throat so that you can't see me just standing inside of it, but that would likely interfere with how I get in (cause I'd be stepping on the mesh, even if it was just segmented flaps/curtains that allowed things to pass through it)

I'm also gonna add some hairs (1mm foam "wire ") around the mouth and maybe down the body.

All in all, I'm not super pleased, but it'll work and it'll be fun!
