"This being the fascinating and unfortunately quite long chronicle of that noble mask of Nyarlathotep, the Gentleman."

"Ascending to earth in the desire to sow chaos and regain faith from the fool-hardy and scientific men of the Age of Reason, Nyarlathotep was shocked to find that there had been the ascenscion of two talented, if unscrupulous, men of science to power: The hideous Drs. Manchu and Moreau."

"Seeking his wrath upon them, with his knowledge of both eldritch lore and the magic of faith broad and mighty, he cleaved through many vicious beasts and creature, easily slaying all that stood in his way, growing drunk with power, until -

He accidentally cast genocide at an inoppropriate time, killing him instantly.

Oops."

Notes: Yes, I probably could have win with Nyarly' but it turned out that I must have cast genocide when my MP was low, or some such... It was very embarrasing, but more amusing then painful... Gentlemen are VERY fun to play, especially at later levels.

Old Ones seem a bit weighted, but you DO have to survive to around level ten before their survival stops being an issue, and that can be a challenge... Anyway, thoughts, comments, and whatnot appreciated! A great variant, and I hope everyone had fun! Cheers!

Agh, just noticed I should have said 'won'. Oh well. Also, as a side note, isn't the expatriate demon spell awesome? Well, pip-pip toodle-oo! Ciao!

Steamband is one of my favorite variants, though, IMO, in previous versions the end game was a bit too easy. I love the atmosphere.

I've never had a character give the prayer spells a solid try, but the mage spells are fun. I found the Old One exp drain to be a bit too daunting.

Yes, isn't it fabulous? The end game is easy, but that doesn't make it any less fun, and perhaps I shouldn't talk, as I died from *SPELL STRAIN*. Argh, heh.

Well, the prayer spells can be just lovely, although you need to stick with them.. Reckoning of metal in particular was one I found very useful. But, Mage spells rock, and XP drain stinks until Tenth Level or so, when you can just plow into VAULTS with no weapon or skills spent, and still win. O_O Sometimes, anyway.

Anyway, thank you!
