NUISANCES HAS MORE and is unlike any other fantasy RPG sourcebook!   It is a tribute to the early years of fantasy roleplaying games, a parody of the current state of the genre, a manual for keeping cocky and annoying players off balance, and a poignant philosophical expression of the post-modern, 21st century worldview.   Highlights of this wonderful book include:     * Hundreds and hundreds of aggravating and awful and things that can happen to players!     * Original art by about a half dozen fantasy artists!     * Introduction of the Defect character attribute—and fewer than 100 Defects!     * Bunches of unsavory Feats!     * Several Archtypical Nuisance Characters, including Krust, Joebob, and Amber!     * Cursed and off-color magic items!     * Scores of defective items!     * Many, many random d100, d12, and other Random Tables!     * Rules that address the special role of female characters in the game in a sensitive and realistic way—including Feats like Nice Body and Defects like Bitch, Hot Flashes, and Throws Like a Girl!     * Some of the most annoying monsters ever spawned, including the Decapussywhipper, the Dire Dwarf, and the world-famous Jester Dragon!     * Unfortunate NPC personality traits!     * An open game license!     * More exclamation points than any other similar product!

This is the first official script for the Cthulhu Live 3rd Edition horror live-action role-playing game (LARP).  The Kingdom of Jerusalem in 1190 is in dire peril. Saladin s army has retaken Jerusalem. The crusader army is in tatters. The once-mighty Christian kingdoms of Palestine are crumbling. In the easternmost provinces of the Christian kingdoms, the fortress of Li Vaux Moise has been under siege for three months. The defenders have tried to hold out, but the fortress is clearly about to fall, and the commander of the Muslim army has requested a meeting to discuss terms of the garrison s surrender.  But there are dark forces at work here far greater than any mortal army. Ancient evils from the wind-swept deserts stalk the stone walls, hungry for blood and power. Terrible, mind-shattering secrets from beyond the stars lie ripe to be exposed. Horrors beyond the comprehension of both Christian and Muslim threaten to devour them both -- or force them into an unlikely alliance.  This full-length adventure for Cthulhu Live 3rd Edition places the players in the roles of the besieged Europeans and the Muslim ambassadors. Amidst their doom and desolation, they will face betrayal, intrigue, and a desperate fight for survival.  This adventure includes:  * Suggestions for props, costumes, and atmospheric effects.  * New arcane abilities and mystic artifacts.  * 27 Pre-generated characters, so you can jump straight into the game.  * Two versions of the adventure: one optimized for reading on-screen, and one optimized for printing.
