I'm eager to hear how MoN is coming along. The old thread seems to be in a locked part of the forum now, so I figured I'd create a new one.

Hi All,

Just an update. I hoped to post some very good news a couple of weeks back to coincide with Halloween. It didn't happen. Those on the Traveller forums have probably noticed I've not been around a lot over the last month.

During Covid things have changed for me, I'm WFH 100% of the time and that's tough. During the past few months I've had many challenges at home. This reached a high point a few weeks back which involved one of my kids being in hospital and since then things are a daily challenge. So I've lost approx 50% of my spare week so far.

Now where's MoN. The good news it that Chapters 0, 1, 2 and 3 are all finished. What does finished mean? The 100+ NPC's are done, the Reference Manual has all the maps/images/text from the MoN book(s) and the FG story entries are there, with encounters/maps/tokens. I hoped to get this to testing a couple of weeks back.

Next I'll be honest with you all. If someone else can put the time into this I'm cool with that. Note it's built using internal FG tools, but I can share everything. If there's no one wanting to do that, then stick with me, I'm hoping that I can finish the remaining chapters 4-7 by Xmas.

Cheers,
MBM

Hi Folks,

Here's a sneak peak of the Start of Chapter 7, don't read if you're a player...... I'm progressing through Chapter 6 atm, adding and resizing all the images and things, plus making player maps of the Keeper ones (which take some time to hide the numbers etc). Still have NPC's to link/create and then create the encounters plus add all the various links in. Almost never ending.

Recently I've completed updates for Traveller and WOIN, so I have a bit of breathing space here. though might need a bit of time for VtM.

If you want regular updates, go check out my twitter (https://twitter.com/MadBeardMan), I do regular postings there, as I can screen shot and paste.

Cheers,

Hi, I was looking at buying the existing MoN, but am I better waiting for this to be completed and buy the new version?

I've got FGU, 7E ruleset and the Pulp extension and I am considering running this as low to medium Pulp.

Hello,

The work is complete for the Reference Manual, all the images, npc's and links have been done, what I'm currently doing is making the Story Entries for each of the chapters. Then it's off to testing the complete monster of a campaign. I expect testing to find things. Follow my Twitter if you want to know where we are with MoN from this weekend as I'm back on it doing those Story bits.

Hi MadBeardMan,
If you need any help testing I am happy to get involved. I'm an experienced keeper with CoC since the 1980s, currently running Masks on FGU on Fridays, we've done New York and London (almost). I'm using a combination of the currently available Fantasy grounds 6e conversion and homegrown maps and extra encounters - including a transatlantic crossing add-on scenario, based on the RMS Olympic, with deck plans and passenger lists from 1925, fleshed out with NPC passengers. I'm UK based so time zones wouldn't be a problem. Let me know if you are interested.

If there is any testing possibility for this, I would happily volunteer to be a tester. I'm currently running Masks, starting the Kenya chapter soon, and I foolishly bought the old version of Masks for FG thinking it was the 7e version. Still I'd gladly pay again for the module for the luxury to be a tester before my campaign ends!

Hi Folks,

I've sat down in the last hour and made the definitive list, being very picky here, so here goes:

Reference Manual
Table of Contents - relink pages (due to linking method changing)
Create PC's and include as importable characters
Update links to use new links system (all chapters)
On Dramatis Personae (all chapters) - add links to the NPCs
Rebuild the Reference Manuals

Chapter 2
Page 114 - the image needs the background adding

Chapter 4
Add missing text from Page 299

Chapter 5
Check images - wrong backgrounds (old theme) on some

Chapter 6
Add missing text from Page 299

Chapter 6
Cat-Demon Adventure Add missing NPCs

Appendix C
Add links to story events

Appendix D
Add links to story events

Theme
Create a button for the 'Maximum Screen' button that matches the theme buttons (image window)

Misc
Create Thumbnails for each Chapter Module
Re-Export the Chapter Modules
Take a deep breath, then send to FG.

And that's about it, It might seems like a lot, it's just dull repetitive work (the links and link updates), so I'll get it done next week and with a good bit of luck I'll be posting that it's gone to FG around this time next Saturday.

Now sadly, my forum inbox was full here and I did a mad session of deleting all messages, seems I deleted those who offered to test this, if you're reading this and we messaged each other please get in touch again!

Cheers,
MBM

Finishing this off as soon as I can, it's full steam ahead. I've been going through the NPC's again, adding any that needed adding, am in Kenya at the moment, should be in Oz later tonight!

Then it's links, and off to testing. I'll reply to all the folks that have replied, I'm only allowed 2 testers (I'll check) and I'll send you my email to explain how to test it.

Phew.

I am looking forward to this too. Once SmiteWorks gets their tentacles on it they will pour over the tomes with keen interest seeking for any flaws or imperfect linking that might force a sanity check on those that come after. If they find problems they will ask the man who who's lunacy is hidden behind the beard to make adjustments. Once they are certain that the secrets are hidden and the links do not accidentally reveal what lies behind the veil, only then will the be satisfied and make it visible to we who wait.

(Translation: If all goes well, 4-6 weeks, hopefully)

MadBeardMan posted yesterday on Twitter that he is working on the issues the test players have pointed out.

From his last tweets:

What's left I hear you ask:
1. Buckley's Ghost NPCs - need formatting
2. The Black Cat NPCs - need formatting
3. Check all NPCs have all links
4. Remove unneeded images
5. Add Title to Character Select
6. Party Sheet - sort out frame
7. CT - Replace 'green' graphics...
8. Make sure all 'title graphics' aren't clickable
9. Add Encounters & add them to the Story Entries
10. Check all images are fully optimised (the module is 44mb!)
11. Tidy up the theme code, remove commented out code etc.

MadBeardMan
June 21st, 2021, 01:30
Hey Folks.

That's it, got 2 of that list left (plus create the Pre-Gens) but it's going off to SW as I type this, I will have to log soon, at work in 7 hours (oops).

Here's an example image that shows parts of the amazing theme done initially by Luthbel (who did the Vampire ruleset with me),

47729

The guys behind the CoC 7E ruleset (Ian/Damned) have added Pulp support in the same 'npc' record, so I'm going to get that done in the week.

This will be my last major CoC product for a good while, it's taken well over a year, it's just over 500 hours with more to add when the testers (I've messaged two of you) get their feedback. But unless I've done an awful job, I hope they don't find much.

So here's what's left this week to do.
1. Check all NPCs have all links
2. Add Encounters & add them to the Story Entries
3. Add Pregens
4. Add Pulp info to NPCs

None of these are big, a lot of the encounters aren't fixed, so I'm waiting for tester feedback on those areas.

Anyway, all good, not long. Plus I hope with the new hires at SW, the wait for internal testing won't be as long as it has for my products.

Cheers,
MBM

Hi Folks,

Just like Xmas here, finishing wrapping things up. What a journey! I think I've been finished 3 or 4 times and then something else pops up, oh yes, it needs....

Anyway I need a little bit of help, is anyone willing to create a new campaign, enter in all the pre-gens from Pages 35 - 45 and then export as a Mod (with those characters)? I was going to include the pre-gens as a separate module and this means hopefully I can leave that to some kind soul.

If you want to do that, reply here and DM me for more details.

Oh the Theme will be available as a free theme and I'll post that in the forums later.

Morning All,

Finished finally yesterday and all packed up and sent to SmiteWork.

I hope you all like it (if you buy it). It's taken so much of my life that I never want to convert another campaign for a good few months. Simple adventures books or campaigns are no issue, but something like MoN.

As you probably know, it's got 26k lines of text inside the Ref Manual plus about 23k inside the Stories. There's more than 250 NPC's, lots of new spells, a few items, a hundred or so encounters and so on. It's huge, quite a monster in fact.

Next week I'll finish the theme and add that to Forge (it will be known as Art Deco Theme) so you can all have that for free even if you don't want to buy MoN. I just need to remove the Chasoium images from the MoN theme.

Cheers,
MBM

Thanks a lot, I just finished this campaign with my players. It was by fare the most fantastic RPG experience we have had (and we had many since 1980...). Completed by a lot of work and research on the internet on my side to find and translate all related documents, maps and props I could add + some props made by myself. I will buy your work day one though (we have a hard time letting go this adventure, nostalgia...). Also thanks for the theme, I will absolutely use it (it is gorgeous).

I will buy your work day one though (we have a hard time letting go this adventure, nostalgia...). Also thanks for the theme, I will absolutely use it (it is gorgeous).

Where can I see the theme? Do you have a link?
EDIT: ah, never mind. I see the screenshot earlier in the thread.

"Are we there yet?"

I know, I'm dying for this too, but we gotta keep in mind:
Masks of Myarlathotep and Horror on the Orient Express are pretty big. Even once it goes to the editing staff, it's gonna take a while to quality check it, make sure all the pages are right, all the links match up, things show up where they should. It's a massive undertaking. I'm sure the second it's ready, they'll let us know. Until then, the best we can do is just be patient and let them put together the best package they can.

In the words of my parents:
"We'll get there when we get there."

But, yeah ... I'm excited too.

That is the same theme you'll get inside the latest MoN, which is being tested inside Smiteworks at the moment.

Enjoy it!

Morning,

MoN is going through internal testing, let me ask the fine chaps working on HotOE to see where they are with things.

Cheers,

Much appreciated. I said "I can't wait" but I can. I meant "I'm really excited for these!" I know a lot of work has gone into them, and am super-excited to try them out.

Surely one of the most, if not the most impressive work for FGU. If you click on the option "use pulp cthulhu rules" the NPCs stats are seamlessly modified for Pulp rules! The Reference Manual is just perfect, with clickable images, encounters, tomes, items... Thanks a lot @MadBeadMan for this awesome work.

I really hope Fantasy Grounds don't drop the ball on this and actually give CoC a bit of love on YouTube. Showcase the ruleset and show people just how amazing this module is and the staggering amount of content you get. Having all the Encounters pre-built and being able to use the new reference builder to help you document your campaign as you go.

I think @MadBeadMan can stake a claim to the top two most impressive works for FG, with the other being Pirates of Drinax for Traveller.

Hi RaggleG,

What a lovely thing to say!

There's a load more stuff coming over the next few months. I'm not going to touch another CoC product for a while (I've got a Cold Fire Within at the moment), but I hope Beyond the Mountains of Madness becomes available. My focus at the moment is to get RuneQuest out.

Cheers,

Hi All,

Based on feedback across all the various realms I'm going to update the MoN product (hopefully for next Tuesday) with:

1. Add Portraits to the 'Appear' Tab on the NPC sheets.
2. Add in a new module with High-Res handouts. This will be in it's own module (like the Pre-Gens), and so if your players can't read the hand-written text, you can share with them the bigger (but slower to load) handout. The links inside the Ref Manual and Story Entries will NOT be updated to these.
3. Remove unwanted images, and look at renaming oddly named ones.
4. New Items. Added Artifacts and Tomes as Items. Plus linked artifacts where used in the Ref Manual/Story Elements.

Cheers,
MBM
