The Demonlands are located on a wind-swept island that lies at the extreme north of Pangaea Discordia. People of the Demonlands are a hardy breed who exist mostly at a TL0 level of technology due to the malign dominance of a race of demons who destroyed the previous TL2 civilization. Several of these demons installed themselves as gods, maintaining a cruel and oppressive dominance over the human population, suppressing any progress of civilization or development of technology. -->

* If your complaint is that you have a Macintosh, I myself don't run GCA under a native Windows installation. Instead I use an emulator known as VirtualBox, a free program available from Oracle in binary for MacOSX. (The emulator actually has more stability than a native PC platform because of Apple's hardware standards.) You'll still need a copy of Windows to install, of course. [https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads  Download a copy] and get started. (If needing a copy of Windows is your complaint and that is why you use GCS, I'm sorry for the trouble. The alternative solution for you is to develop a template for converting GCS to GCA, thus saving the GM a buttload of unnecessary work. Of course, you'll need to be running GCA to test such a conversion template.)
