Astral Elder Sign by David LaRocca
Why a new Elder Sign?
I've been a Lovecraft fan for a long time now and to be perfectly honest my favorite Elder Sign has always been the "branch" Elder Sign drawn by Lovecraft himself. It is a simple design but if a Deep One is approaching you can bet that's the Elder Sign I pull out for some protection!
August Derleth described the Elder Sign in his stories as a warped, five-pointed star with a flaming eye in the center. This is the Elder Sign most people are familiar with and it was because of this reason I included one of my own design in my Elder Dice project. I also included a Cthulhu design and the original “branch” Elder Sign. More info on Elder Dice can be found here: www.ElderDice.com
But, I am aware that other companies already have designs for the star Elder Sign and are often protective of them. That is why I wanted to design something different, and then rather than have it be yet another of many competing Elder Signs, I wanted to open it up the Lovecraft community. I call it the Astral Elder Sign. Here it is:
I am releasing this design free for personal use. Everyone who loves Cthulhu and H.P. Lovecraft and wants a star-based Elder Sign for their personal project (non-commercial) is welcome to adopt it. For commercial use requests please email me here.
