I recently picked up a physical copy of Cloud Empress, an “ecological science fantasy” RPG from watt. It uses the same ruleset as the popular sci-fi game Mothership

The setting is a magic-poisoned world, with floating cities over a green, but dangerous landscape. This world is threatened by occasional outbreaks of giant magical cicadas, called the Imago, which feast on the bones of dead, and are the source of chalk, the substance that both poisons the land and powers the magic of the setting.

The 58-page book is well designed, with lots of interesting line art giving a nice sense of the world.

It’s inexplicably free to download.

Character Sheet

Cloud Empress has its own character sheet, so I won’t be making my own custom version. The official version is attractive and well-designed. It comes in a color & black-and-white version.

However, I wasn’t 100% happy with how the fillable fields were implemented, so I’ve made my own modified version of the official Cloud Empress character sheets. Here are the changes I made to the fields:

• The stat numbers are now in a Serif Gothic font to match the book formatting and are centered to look a little nicer.
• The job condition and notes boxes are now set to wrap text.
• Fixed a small bug in the Skills check boxes.
• I’ve added the ability to import an image into the portrait frame in the center of the sheet. Just click in the center.

The B&W version wasn’t fillable, so I’ve made it fillable as well. The color version has an off-white background that might be difficult to print, so I’ve made a version without the parchment-colored background.

I’ve added these to my ever-growing swarm of character sheets.

@Czamboni That’s great to hear! I noticed, @Watt, the Designer, mentioned in the update that #ElectrumArchive might be a good pairing with #CloudEmpress
