Work is never hard to find in Ruthaford.
Understanding it—that’s something else entirely.

A quiet offer leads the players south, beyond the steady movement of trade routes and into thinning woodland paths where the world begins to change. Sound fades. Wildlife disappears. And something beneath the surface has been left undisturbed for far too long.

Within Thornweb Cavern, movement slows. Webbing thickens. Every step forward carries weight.

This is not a race.
It is not a rescue.
It is a job.

But like many things in Lodesyia—
it carries more than it first appears.

“Of this desert many strange and unbelievable marvels are told by those who pretend to have penetrated it. In his last years Al-Azrad dwelt in Damascus, where the Necronomicon (Al Azif) was written, and of his final death or disappearance (738 A.D.) many terrible and conflicting things are told. He is said ... to have been seized by an invisible monster in broad daylight and devoured horribly before a large number of fright-frozen witnesses. Of his madness many things are told.”

Cthulhu Eternal is a multi-era, setting agnostic ruleset which aims to support inventive game designers who have original ideas for Lovecraftian roleplaying games or scenarios. It draws upon the long line of D100 games of Cthulhu-themed investigation, offering a beautifully streamlined and elegant set of mechanics to support a diverse range of gaming styles.

Different eras of human history each have their own flavor and character – due in part to the technology available, and in part due to social conventions of the day. Recognizing this, Cthulhu Eternal exists as a family of inter-related rules engines – each based on the same mechanics but tailored to the needs of a specific era.

This version of Cthulhu Eternal is specially designed to support Lovecraftian games set in the Levant (Near East) during the period from the fall of Rome to the rise of the European Medieval Kingdoms (approximate between 500CE and 1000CE). This historical period is one in which the major civilizations in the Western World (as we would call it) have fallen into disarray and the center of learning and civilization has shifted eastward to the Arabian Peninsula and regions surrounding it. With the rise of the Islamic religion and rapid advances in many fields of Levantine scholarship, the era is sometimes termed the "Islamic Golden Age". But it is also the time (in the fictional worlds of the Cthulhu Mythos) when the great Mythos scholar Abd Al-Azrad -- author of the infamous Necronomicon -- lived and conducted his terrible researches. One can but wonder at the terrifying things his digging unearths ...

Whether you want to run a scenario where Protagonists go toe-to-toe with the infamous Al-Azrad himself, or wish to weave a period adventure of fearsome caliphs, desert raiders, cunning thieves, or other such pseudo-historical "Arabian Nights"-inspired Mythos tales, this SRD has the basic ingredients on which to build your creation. A notable addition to this version of the Cthulhu Eternal ruleset is a lightweight set of rules for undertaking the (sometimes dangerous) task of translating Mythos tomes from one language to another.

Other versions of Cthulhu Eternal currently available in SRD form:

• Cthulhu Eternal: Classical Era SRD
• Cthulhu Eternal: Medieval SRD
• Cthulhu Eternal: Elizabethan Age (1500s-1650) SRD
• Cthulhu Eternal: Age of Sail (1650-1750) SRD
• Cthulhu Eternal: Age of Revolutions (1750-1850) SRD
• Cthulhu Eternal: Victorian Era SRD
• Cthulhu Eternal: World War I SRD
• Cthulhu Eternal: Jazz Age SRD
• Cthulhu Eternal: World War II SRD
• Cthulhu Eternal: Cold War SRD
• Cthulhu Eternal: Modern Age SRD
• Cthulhu Eternal: Future SRD

For convenience, this pack also includes two versions of the Cthulhu Eternal Age of Al-Azrad character sheet. One is a high-resolution non-fillable PDF, suitable for printing. The other is a fillable PDF sheet which will ONLY work with the full version of Adobe Reader – save the file to a local drive and open it using the Adobe Reader App (using it in-browser or on mobile devices won’t work).

Fantasia Vixens: The Starblood Pantheon

There was a time when the world could still be interpreted.

That time is over.

The Starblood Pantheon is a dark fantasy supplement for the Fantasia Vixens roleplaying system, exploring a broken cosmology where meaning no longer emerges from pure sources, but from the remnants of collapse itself. This book presents a setting in which gods are not ideals, but unstable structures formed from cosmic trauma, and where ritual is no longer faith, but calibration.

This is not a mythology of creation.

This is a system of survival.

What This Book Contains

Inside these pages you will find a fully realized framework of cosmic horror, ritual practice, and fractured divinity, designed to expand your campaigns into deeper, more unsettling territory.

A New Pantheon of Instability
The Starblood entities are not worshipped. They are maintained. Each one binds a localized catastrophe, holding together zones that would otherwise collapse. Their forms, domains, and rites offer unique narrative and mechanical possibilities for play.

Rituals as Systems
Ritual is redefined as a precise act of alignment. Blood, rhythm, incision, and bodily mapping become functional tools rather than symbolic gestures. These systems can be integrated directly into gameplay as high risk, high consequence mechanics.

The Event
A reconstructed account of the catastrophic collapse that ended the Starblood Pantheon’s active era. Multiple stars bled at once, all associated rites failed, and the last known observatory fell silent in a single night. The truth remains unknowable. Only models remain.

The Firecircle Observatory Files
Recovered documents from the final witnesses of the Starblood system. These entries present a gradual descent from observation into incomprehension, offering narrative material for investigation driven campaigns and cosmic horror scenarios.

Factions of the Bleeding Sky
A network of practitioners who do not share belief, but method. From ritual extremists to institutional calibrators and alien observers of decision networks, these groups provide tools for conflict, alliance, and philosophical tension within your world.

Tone and Use

This book is written for storytellers and players who seek a darker, more conceptual form of fantasy. It is designed to be modular, allowing you to introduce elements of the Starblood system into existing campaigns or build entire narratives around its logic.

Expect themes of instability, identity erosion, ritual transformation, and the limits of interpretation.

Expect a world that does not explain itself.

A Final Note

The Starblood Pantheon is not a solution.

It does not restore order, and it does not promise understanding.

It exists because the world can no longer afford to collapse completely.

And for now,

that is enough.

This is a paper model for TRPG and wargame!

Easy to build: only knife, glue, ruler and cutting mat are required

Circle of Wyrd

Druid Subclass

Fully compatible with D&D 5e and 5.5e (2024 rules), with tailored features for both systems.

While other druids listen to the wind or the call of the wild, the Circle of Wyrd listens to something older—the unseen threads that bind all beings to their destiny. Through trance, ritual, and visions that fracture reality itself, these druids do not simply observe fate… they learn to weave it.

This subclass focuses on manipulating outcomes, controlling probability, and supporting allies through foresight. From altering rolls in critical moments to redistributing damage and bending the flow of battle, the Circle of Wyrd turns every encounter into a web of calculated destiny.

Perfect for players who enjoy:

• Control and support through dice manipulation
• Tactical decision-making and battlefield awareness
• A mystical, fate-weaving playstyle

Blood of Giants

Sorcerer Subclass

Fully compatible with D&D 5e and 5.5e (2024 rules), with tailored features for both systems.

Your blood is not entirely your own. Within your veins echoes the power of ancient giants—beings older than kingdoms, older than gods themselves. Whether born from a forgotten lineage or an impossible union, you are the living heir of a primordial force, and your magic resounds like thunder across the world.

This subclass empowers you with elemental versatility and overwhelming presence, allowing you to channel the might of frost, fire, or storm giants. As your power grows, you become physically and magically imposing—expanding in size, resisting damage, and unleashing devastating spells infused with titanic force.

Perfect for players who enjoy:

• Elemental spellcasting with impactful choices
• Scaling power and transformation effects
• A dominant, larger-than-life battlefield presence

Voice of Jupiter

Warlock Subclass

Fully compatible with D&D 5e and 5.5e (2024 rules), with tailored features for both systems.

Unlike those who bargain in shadows, the Voice of Jupiter draws power from the roar of the storm and the will of divine authority. Chosen as a herald rather than a mere spellcaster, they channel celestial judgment through thunder, lightning, and words that command obedience. When they speak, the sky listens—when they fight, thunder answers.

This subclass blends storm-based magic with battlefield control and divine authority, allowing you to dominate enemies through lightning, thunder, and powerful command effects. From halting foes with a word to unleashing devastating bursts of energy, the Voice of Jupiter embodies both destructive force and celestial judgment.

Perfect for players who enjoy:

• Lightning and thunder spellcasting
• Controlling enemies with debuffs and positioning
• A commanding, divine-inspired playstyle

The Legionary

Fighter Subclass

Fully compatible with D&D 5e and 5.5e (2024 rules), with tailored features for both systems.

Forged in relentless discipline and battlefield unity, the Legionary fights not as an individual, but as part of an unbreakable whole. Shield raised and formation tight, they control the battlefield through coordination, defense, and inexorable advance—turning every step into a calculated act of war.

This subclass focuses on defensive tactics, ally protection, and battlefield control, rewarding players who fight in formation and support their team. From imposing disadvantage on enemies to reinforcing allies with powerful defensive stances, the Legionary thrives in the heart of combat, holding the line where others would fall.

Perfect for players who enjoy:

• Tactical positioning and teamwork
• Shield-based combat and defensive playstyles
• Commanding presence on the battlefield
