Curselings
From the shadows of the innocent dead... "Curselings bleed into our world¸ watching and waiting from inside pools of absence where the light grows dim. First an innocent must die and their shadow¸ not their corpse¸ must touch the ground. They can be hung from some rafters or the branches of a tree¸ or drown in clear shallow water which the light streams through¸ so long as their body does not touch the earth but leaves a black and clear-edged shadow there. Only then can a Curseling come through the shadow like a door and clamber out..." Fire on the Velvet Horizon is a monster book like no other. Created from the minds of Patrick Stuart and Scrap Princess¸ it completely changed our ideas of what a monster book could be. It is an art book¸ a game book and a weird fiction book rolled into one. Even one of today's great fantasy writers had something to say about it: 'Superpositioning with strange panache¸ Velvet Horizon is an (outstanding) indie role-playing-game supplement¸ and an (outstanding) example of experimental quasi-/meta-/sur-/kata-fiction. Also a work of art. Easily one of my standout books of 2015.' - China Miéville. The book is only available in print and contains no stats¸ so it remains a bit of an obscurity in the gaming world. So today¸ we are honored and excited to bring a selection of these creatures to your game table¸ with the approval of its creators. Every creature is an adventure waiting to happen! This PDF contains the descriptive text for one of these creatures¸ and some of the art¸ as they appear in Fire on the Velvet Horizon.
