A downloadable zine

Buy Now$5.00 USD or more

This is a zine for creating characters for Alma Pulveris, called Cherubs, as well as providing a brief introduction to the setting. It's a bit like a recipe book for humans, but for cherubs!

You'll find out all you need to know about these strange little creatures.

By purchasing this guide you're also welcome to create your own cherubs and use them for roleplaying games or use the zine as an in-game handout in your campaigns.

It contains: 

  • 17 illustrated pages In-Universe PDF written by my character Mo. 
  • Tables Summary for Quick Character Creation.

Edit: I re-uploaded a better compressed version and added the credits for my Ko-Fi patrons.

A beautiful zine! Really love the art and the concepts scratch an itch in my head that's tough to nail down. I have 2 questions though about the pprovided tables png:

What does rolling for "Akashic Writing" mean?

What is "Antigua Luna Knowledge Skill"?

I may have just missed an obvious answer somewhere.

Either way, worth it for the art alone and full of wonderfully satisfying ideas to boot!

Hello Alice! Thank you for getting the guide. :3 There's a lot of things I feel like I could make clearer on the guide. In fact, I recently realized the main problem relies in that I'm trying to condense too much information in a single zine. I'm currently working on a dedicated zine just as an introduction for Alma Pulveris and then I'll make one just for cherubi. In the meantime I can tell you this: 

Akashic works like a language for cherubi but it's not a proper language like we know them. You could say they use the magic of the Akashic Melody to read, but they don't get a 1 to 1 relationship to what's "written" (Or drawn, as Akashic is basically squiggles) in akashic, but rather the thoughts of the person who wrote it, when they wrote it. So taking out your thoughts and putting them on paper is a specific skill not everybody has fully-developed as it requires a lot of concentration and control of your train of thought. Antigua Luna is the language that existed before the Akashic Melody, and that's one of the things I'm planning to expand on. I'm really really grateful you checked it out!
