Gentlemen Vs. Demons

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Gentlemen Vs. Demons is a fast-paced, simple horror game inspired by old school percentiles systems. Taking direction from Hammer films, EC horror comics, and weird pulp fiction, it plays like an amped-up, dumbed-down Call of Cthulhu. The game is best suited for one shots and short campaigns. Compact at 66 pages, it relies heavily on the ingenuity of the GM who enjoys tinkering with rules. This game is compatible with Song of the Sixgun and is broadly adaptable for use with any game that uses percentiles.

I would LOVE it if this game was turned into an OSR game like "Mad Am I," "Bad Kansas City," "Arizona Goes to Hell" and other Nerd Glows On gems in the OSR system. I bought this original version but would buy it all over again if it was converted to OSR! Cheers!

Just purchased. Looks good. Will there be any Lovecraft creature stats available?

Idea for a house rule or later edition refinement: skills like Gambling, Piano, Physics, etc. are make-your-own, and when they're relevant you get to flip the dice freely. This maps nicely to make characters competent despite lower percentage scores (30-50)

Question regarding the "Sprays" Weapon Quality: Does the attacker still roll against their Shooting Skill (to determine Hit-Location and Critical Hits), or does just the Target test their Action?

I went to the website mentioned in the book, but didn't find a PDF of the character sheet. Am I just missing it?
I'd really like a character sheet for this and for Song of the Six Gun.

This game is great! It NEEDs an OSR conversion! Please, Sean, make an OSR version of GvD! You did it with 'Arizona Goes to Hell' ... think how awesome an OSR version of GvD would be! OSR is the hotness! Nerd Glows On is the hotness! GvD is the hotness! Convert GvD to OSR, and stand back and see the mega-hotness that would be! (waving cash at you) Please consider!!!

Great game! Two items leaving me scratching my head. Item #1: Sanity. Per the rules, there's no Sanity recovery, and at zero Sanity points, the character is considered insane. Is the zero-Sanity character 'out of play' (roll up a new, sane character) or still playable as a madman? Item #2: Recovering Health. The rules say a Reason roll plus a Medical Kit allow for a damaged body area to be completely healed. But what if the Reason roll fails? There is no other way per the rules to heal the damaged body areas. Do they stay damaged indefinitely? Or do they gradually heal up on their own, sans the benefit of a Reason/Medical Kit roll? Or is there an interval of time when another Reason/Medical Kit roll can be made?

Update! Talked to game's author Seann today. He says that yes, one can play a madman (zero sanity). No need to roll up a new character when you finally hit zero Sanity - just roleplay that 'damaged goods' character. And the healing rules - Seann says he may update the text to include healing guidance in case the Reason/Medical Kit roll fails. In the meantime, I'll probably house-rule that wounded characters can erase one injury box per body area per day until healed up.

Actually that house rule is perfect. Consider it "official" until I can get around to updating the text. :)

Got it, and enjoying it already! I love the Devil Rides Out feel it has to it. Is there going to be a POD version in the near future?

Is there any chance you could print it on old comic book style newsprint? I think it would be such a great estheic! I would buy two of those.... Print it just like a comic, or greasy old true crime magazine.

That would be awesome. If that were a common POD thing I'd probably do everything that way. :)

I too love the visual aesthetic of this book. It's like EC Comics in an rpg! We just got a color printer at the house so I'm going to burn some ink and print this thing out in full-color glory.

Listing above says 66 pages, but the actual pdf file is 34 pages laid out as two "half pages" per 11" x 8.5" page spread. Just FYI.

Yes, this is a serious pain in the a$$ to attempt to print. Just break each page up into individual pages, please.

It's the eternal debate between designers and printers--designers think things should be formatted one way, but printers know how they actually need to be set up to print accurately.

It's actually a trade paperback size, so I exported it in page spreads for easier on-screen viewing. That's the way I've done all my other books and this is the first feedback I've heard about it not working for someone. I'm glad you spoke up. I have another file included now with a one-page-at-a-time layout. I hope that helps. I'll probably include both versions in my future books as well. Thanks for the feedback! - Seann

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
