[Sorcerer] Help with a Campaign Setting

[Nev the Deranged]

I have read the rest of Keyes' Age of Unreason, and highly recommend finishing it to those who have only read the first book.

Watch From Beyond (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091083/) for a bit of mad science gone awry and some ideas about fitting demonic beings into the equation. I'll avoid mentioning Howard the Duck, because frankly, that's just wacky.

Also, a slightly more oblique reference is Studio Foglio's comic Girl Genius (http://www.studiofoglio.com/girlgenius.html), which depicts a world in which the Mad in Mad Science is caused by "the Spark", a phenomenon which may appear at any time in a scientist's career, granting them almost supernatural scientific genius, while simultaneously driving them slowly insane.
