It’s a great sourcebook and a fun adventure. You can read the players entries (scroll down or check archives for Jan/Feb2001) to get a sense of their perspective of what went down.
Unfortunately it ended with Shivansu Malaker being torn asunder in the streets of London by a Hunting Horror – while a Scotland Yard C.I.D. inspector, three heavily armed police constables, a crowd of drunk and/or stoned bright young party-goers, and the rest of the PCs stood and looked on in utter terror!
Shivansu will be missed…
I’m trying to stay on track and continue with the Realms of Cthulhu campaign, with occasional visits back to the East Front … but I’ve been exceedingly tempted by Space 1889: Red Sands… and then Kapitan Mors BRILLIANT post about Lord Chelmsford’s Expedition, a clever blending VSF and Star Trek, over at Tea and Tiffin just about put me over the edge – ready to drop everything and start painting spare ancients with blue skin!
Stay on target… STAY ON TARGET!!!

I can see how you were tempted by those Steam Lancers!
Ah, it's not so much any of the units he has posted, just the idea of fusing Star Trek and VSF - a large Ether ship on a voyage of discovery around the galaxy - each star conveniently having planets with earth-like atmospheres and inhabitants that like to shoot guys dressed in red and make out with their captains... or something like that...
The Green And Pleasant Land supplement was always a favorite of mine for CoC. I especially liked the rules for wartime experience and allowed many players to use the rules and make their characters veterans of the great war. This did lead to a seventy year old character that was an american civil war, Indian war and Spanish American war veteran in the 1920's. It might have been a little gamey but we had fun and despite his skill with a sword cane and pistol he still ran afowl of the unspeakable horrors.
