For me, the demonic part is old. For me, it seems more exotic for a fantasy game if you add a dose of SciFi that's more exotic than demonic dudes, yet again.

Why no XP chart for the WEIRLING PC class in the Leach Wyrm

I guess this is CnC's first racial class? Looks cool, but there's no XP chart. I am assuming you'd use the wizard/fighter XP chart since it's a pretty studly class.

I've been interested, but when my players saw it, they were like "Well for all that, we might as well stick to CnC." Which is funny because they grumble about the game half the time.

I get the impression that they'd grumble about any game they'd play though, just to get my goat.
