I really like the Chronicler class as well as the Horselord. I think I will run the Chronicler with just two small changes (adding leather armor and short sword to their respective areas) and this presents a Black Company type annalist from the Glen Cook series.

Fear of a Gnome Planet....

It is going to happen. We all like AS&SH now, just add a few demi-humans and run!

Belusan (Hyperborean Goblin) The orc lieutenant scowled at the bird-headed creature that stood half its height.'It makes no sense to me to retreat,' growled the leader.The belusan sighed heavily and pointed.'That is water, the fish-men will come from there, if we are too near the beach they will keep coming. If we retreat then they may follow us and we can determine their numbers and then we know if we should keep fighting them or not,' replied the goblin.The lieutenant looked at another orc that nodded silently in agreement.'Okay, sounds good, little birdling, but no treachery or no pay,' the lieutenant grunted.'Absolutely, listen to me, we win and we take the treasure of the fish-men,' the belusan replied, hoping the dull-witted orc leader finally understood the plan.Belusan (Hyperborean Goblin)No. Enc.: 3d12 (2d100)Alignment: Neutral or Chaotic (Neutral of Chaotic Evil in AS&SH)Movement: 90' (30’) (30, Fly 60 in AS&SH)Fly: 150' (50') Flying is only if applicableArmor Class: 5Hit Dice: 2Attacks: 2 (special, see below)Damage: 1d4 or by weaponSave: F2 (Saving Throw 13 in AS&SH)Size: S (3'-3 ½ ' feet tall on average)Morale: 10Hoard Class: VII (XVIII) (Treasure Type M x5, O, Qx2 in AS&SH)XP: 55
 An ancient race, perhaps one of the first races, the belusan, or Hyperborean Goblin is a small, gangly creature that varies wildly in appearance due to the random nature of the various Lords and Ladies of Chaos and Disorder. Mercurial as a way of life, all belusan have a Chaos attribute or two-some have wings, others dog-like heads with protruding fangs, some large eyes and larger claws on the ends of their long fingers. Regardless of the Chaos gift(s) that a goblin has, they all receive two attacks per round, one standard and one using their Chaos gift, like a beak attack, bite, additional claw, etc. Unlike creatures like the doff or bird-man, the belusan does not make itself a servitor race, in

Doff  'Ready to go!' one of the fly-men said. 'All the supplies are packed.''Thank you, Norg, we will be leaving shortly then,' replied Jalviss Vonge.'How can you tell them apart? Those things all look the same to me!' snorted Raffis the Vehement.'I'm not sure if I get it right half the time, but they never complain,' said Jalviss.The doff secured most of the baggage, leaving a knot here and there loose on purpose, grumbling.

 Devious, sneaky and slippery, the doff are short humanoid fly people that are fairly common in civilized areas. Not physically strong, the doff have allowed themselves to be a servant race to anyone who will protect them from harm-it is not uncommon for some houses to have two or three doffs working diligently for little pay, as long as they are protected and feel safe they will keep their word. Adventurers and explorers often hire doffs as cheap labor, as porters, spies and scouts. While loyal to those who protect them, all doffs will heed the summons of their deity, Overlord Fly, a mysterious and sinister character.

Velderag (Hyperborean Elf) Merlak the Kimmerian fighter struck the velderag again harshly.'Talk, elf!' he demanded as blood trickled out of the creature's mouth. Silence.'This is not good,' said Jorn the Kelt. 'Leave him be.'The Kimmerian turned to the Kelt.'I want to know if there are more of these things slinking around.'Eerie music suddenly could be heard on the breeze. Jorn stepped away from the Kimmerian and the velderag. Three arrows suddenly whirred from the cover of the forest, all striking Merlak with deadly precision. A cold blade was at Jorn's throat.'You live, but be party to this again and you will die,' a voice hissed in his ear.

 The Velderag are rarely seen, many believe these creatures are legends until they see a shimmering light deep in the woods at night and foolishly choose to see what is creating that ominous glow. The Hyperborean Elf lives in heavily wooded areas, their buildings are cleverly hidden in the foliage. Thought to have once been a great race, now these humanoids just want to be left alone and do not like intrusions. Adventurers are outcasts, spies or learning about the outside world.Special: +2 save versus magic, Infrared vision, as the spell, 60' radius, notice traps (5-6 on 1d6), +1 to hit with missile weapons, +1 to Move Silently.

For my mostly fantasy games I go for dark and eerie, and these gnomes are inspired by the William Allingham poem, 'The Faeries'-
"Up the airy mountain,Down the rushy glen,We daren't go a-huntingFor fear of little men;"

Now my science fantasy game is like this: I took Warriors of the Red Planet as the core engine and added bits from the Games Workshop Realms of Chaos books and the Mutant: Year Zero game. My demihumans there are certainly twisted, in place of gnomes there are Doffs, short humanoid fly people with a leaning towards shadow magic (WofRP has a sorcerer class) and while an independent race, all must heed the call of Overlord Fly, one of 21 gods awakened by a diplomatic mission that was actually a ritual and prophecy from 300 years before.
 

Thank you very much for the welcome and yes, that is what the internet should be about! I always pepper my games with the work of authors like Dunsany, Leiber or CAS or Glen Cook and even they hinted at weird little things here and there in the corners. 

Thank you! Problematically, Ghul is responsible for a game that stands above a lot of others and has an awesome presence. So I am not making these to be a jerk, but because I am adding them to my game of AS&SH. If others use them, feel free to tweak as needed, but please let me know if they see action in your game.

Awesome!Sime is one of my favorite illustrators of all time and Dunsany a favorite writer, good call!
