“In 1901, New Year’s Eve, the Stars Were Right. The Great Old Ones Returned, bringing with them all manner of being from their starry prisons. Fortunately for humanity, while the Old Ones were certainly horrible to look upon, they were not nearly as great as they would have had us believe. Intergalactic layabouts, Cosmic conmen, and Trans-temporal thieves, the Great Old Ones may be functionally immortal, but they also happen to have little work ethic.”

It’s a setting into from Spirit of the Century. Read more here.

I’d like some canned antimatter.
