	I listened to the Bradford Role-Playing Society playing this game system and decided to purchase the PDF of the rules (from DriveThruRPG). If you watched American TV in the late 60s and early-to-mid 70s, you should be able to figure out what show I based the PC's organization on.

	The inspiration for this setting came to me as an image in my brain and set me off writing a LOT of the mythology. I did steal the Mahars name and powers from "At the Earth's Core" (but not their look) -- I think everything else is "original". If I wasn't such a lousy artist, I'd try to draw that image.

	In late 2020, I tried restarting the campaign, running it on Slack asynchronously, similar to play-by-forum games. Sadly, the game kind of died due to lack of interest. I did write a short story that attempted to bridge the gap between the two campaigns, it's available [https://www.seiyuu.com/okamoto/writing/index.html here].

	I found a copy of this out-of-print campaign at my Friendly Local Game Store, so I grabbed it immediately. The campaign has come under some criticism about motivations and a "monster of the week" feel, but my players liked the monsters (and I fiddled a little bit with motivations).

	I had the opportunity to incorporate material from the upcoming Masks of Nyarlathotep Companion, so I jumped at the chance. I'd always wanted to run this campaign, and it was listening to another group (The Bradford Players, now the Innsmouth House Players) playing this campaign that motivated me to form the Gaming Grunts. I wish we could try to recover after the last episode (the Companion offers several possibilities), but it's not likely.

			The Flood ended when I changed jobs.
			At my new employer, it was more difficult to play during lunch,
			and the culture there was more oriented to board games.

			The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown switched us to online board gaming,
			and after some discussion with the players,
			we decided to give D&D a try.
			Since I had no experience with DM'ing D&D (except for WAY back in the day),
			John volunteered to be the DM.
