Editing Vice and Steel (section)

==The Demiurge==

Dust Devils' Dealer is replaced with Vice and Steel's Demiurge. It is the Demiurge's job to bring together the stories and Vices of the player characters and guide them into shaping a story. It is the Demiurge that helps to bring order out of chaos, but it is also the Demiurge that helps push characters towards their grand finale – either glory or destruction by their Vice. This doesn't mean the characters have to die, but if their Vice wins they will become an empty shell, a slave to desire with no more potential for grandeur.

The Demiurge does this by creating a vibrant, exquisite, passionate, and utterly corrupt world for the PCs to master and fall to. The Demiurge does not create the plot, he makes the world of a host of interesting characters with Vices and passions of their own that will sharply conflict with, or conflate with, those of the PCs. 

In all other ways the Demiurge acts as the Dust Devil's Dealer.
