[Jiminimonka]

Now that Horror Companion (SWADE) is released - http://affiliates.fantasygrounds.com/316093/15958/url_29454 - please post any bugs or errors you find here and I will fix them ASAP.

Thanks

Hi, I suspect something in the SWADE Horror Companion is missing in Ranged Weapons section. The Holy Water Grenade, Pistol and Spray don't appear to list any kind of damage/effect. At the bottom of the Ranged Weapons page there is only this:
*Creatures with a Weakness to holy water may suffer additional effects. See page 188 for demons and 167 for vampires.

When looking at The Vampire page, is says:
"Holy Water: In addition to the usual effect (page 26)...." But there are no usual effects listed in FGU version of page 26. I believe page 26 = the Ranged Weapons section.

I will take a look this evening and update it.

OK - So page 167 is the section on Vampire Weaknesses in the GMs Guide. In the Vampire subchapter of Chapter Six: Creatures, where it lists a whole load of weakness for variant vampires.

188 is the first page of Demons subchapter in Chapter Six: Creatures.

The various effects are covered.

I will change the wording and put links (which players will not be able to read unless the GM shares them). Update should go out next Tuesday as I missed this weeks window (and I might have a look at some other tidy up this weekend too).

Hi, thank you for looking into this. I was able to review the actual book, and it looks like the conversion is fine. Confusion stems from the original, not your conversion.

Hi,

there is a minor typo in the 'Or mace' attack for the Haunted Armour NPC entry; should presumably just be 'Mace'. Thanks!

[Jiminimonka]

I forgot to submit the update so the latest fixes/updates will be next Tuesday.

[MikeRPG]

OK - thanks. It's still showing as 'Or mace' in my copy. No big deal, just checking the update is still due to be rolled out.

thanks!

[Jiminimonka]

It's all on pause at the moment while the new updates are ironed out.

But the update is also going to change a few things and I need to make sure other Horror products line up (also doing Horror Archetypes module)

[MikeRPG]

OK cool,thanks.

Another error spotted on the NPC entry for 'Great Cthulhu', the 'puppet' power needs fixing;

61438

(although given it's Big C, this could be totally correct, right...?)

[Jiminimonka]

Thanks. Added to list.

[MikeRPG]

No probs!

Also, 'Alchemical Items' in the GM Guide, bottom box, 'Making Alchemical items' - could there be a link to 'Material Components Hinderance', to make reference easy?

61439

thanks in advance!

[MikeRPG]

Last one for now (I think....),

GM Horror Guide... 'Possessor' NPC - typo in the nameblock ("?" character prefix);

61440


Thanks so much, really appreciate your work :-)


Mike

[MikeRPG]

Spoke too soon :-D

NPC 'Beast Golem', entry missing under 'Main' description;

61441


Also, some of the Golems have 'Type: construct', some of them have no 'Type' entry. Would that be standardised in a future update?

[MikeRPG]

Horror Companion, GM's Guide;

There is no NPC entry for 'The Black Coachman', but there is for his horses and both coaches. I guess The Black Coachman NPC entry will be added in a later update?

thanks!

[MikeRPG]

Oh wow, this one is REALLY picky... so huge Friday sunshine hugs here!

BOOK - GM Guide, NPC list, the 'C' entries not in alphabetic order. This is totally, unplayable, earth-stopping, right? ;-)

61442


I'm gonna stop here for now. I feel really, really bad.... :D

Lol - yeah that one is not going on my list....

Hey there, caught an error in SWADE Horror Companion: Range of Holy Water Grenade is incorrect. In items it is 1/2/3 but should be 5/10/20.

Related:
It would be nice to have an item for the Water Supersoaker version of Water pistol.

Also, not sure if this is allowed due to conversion rules, but it would be nice to have this info added in the Notes field for Holy Water Grenade, Holy Water Pistol and Holy Water Spray items:

"In some settings, holy water is much more dangerous to demons, vampires and other supernatural creatures (at the GM's discretion). When successfully Tested, they take 2d4 damage (2d6 with a raise) and if they are demons, they are Fatigued."

Or, to have "dangerous" versions of the items where the damage spec'd into the item (but GM can just copy standard items and do this as well)

[elwhynn]

Item: Hand of Glory is missing.

[MikeRPG]

NPC stat block: Danse Macabre

'Skeletal Dancers' ability - it would be great to have a link to the 'Skeleton' NPC entry.

thanks!

[MikeRPG]

NPC stat block: Demonic Steed;

typo on 'Main' tab;

Demonic steeds are primarily used by demons to travel around Hell, but are occasionallygifted to loyal mortals....


thank you!

[Jiminimonka]

Everything above is now fixed (even the alphabetical stuff) - I didn't add Skeletons they are in NPCs sidebar when you load SWADE.

Co-ordinating with Lonewolf so his Horror Companion stuff doesn't break with the changes I made but its either this Tuesday or next that the updates will go out.

Thanks for reporting all the bugs and missing info everyone.

Thanks Jimini, really appreciated!

Apologies, I found another;

NPC Alligator-Lion Hybrid; the Improved Frenzy Edge link description looks wrong, Should be 'Improved Frenzy'

61928
Ditto for;
NPC: Evil Clown
NPC: Living God
NPC: Rug Fiend
NPC: Lesser Wendigo
NPC: True Wendigo
NPC: Pazuzu
NPC: Vampire, Ancient


thanks!

[Jiminimonka]

Does it open the Improved Frenzy Edge?

[MikeRPG]

NPC Hag entry;

There are NPC links to the variant NPC Hag types (Wood, Swamp), but no link to the 'vanilla' NPC Hag. Can this be added?

61929

thanks!

[MikeRPG]

Does it open the Improved Frenzy Edge?

Yes, I think they all do. the link is right, just the description doesnt follow the normal format.

[Jiminimonka]

The link follows the SW Maker format ;)

[MikeRPG]

The link follows the SW Maker format ;)

OK, thanks!

Just to show clearly, 'Evil Clown 1' shown is the vanilla as it is now - the format of "Frenzy / Imp" does not look totally right to me, but it does link correctly to the 'Improved Frenzy' Edge.

61930

Now, If I copy that NPC, and re-drag the same 'Improved Frenzy' Edge over from the right hand toolbar, it now shows as 'Evil Clown 2' in the pic. That format looks right (to me) and follows the usual format.

(Compare, for example, Sabre Tooth Tiger from the Fantasy Companion - this shows it in exact same format as 'Evil Clown 2' here, and I assume is the 'correct' format?)

"Frenzy (imp)" to me seemed less clear than Improved Frenzy.

Hey - it's totally your call - I just thought I would flag it!

This is copying the format of Pinnacle.

I think I have now updated everything missing or working incorrectly (but I am not re-formating stat blocks). This should go out in Tuesdays update.

[MikeRPG]

Hi Jimini, thanks for these.

2 more typos spotted;

Typo on 'Demonologist' Edge in 'Hells Wrath' Edge entry
62355

and 'Edge' typo on 'Zombie Master' Edge; Also, first word in description, "The revenant...."
62356

Thanks :-)
