Hello all.
Do we know if the newest release of Masks of Nyarlathotep is currently being worked on for Fantasy Grounds store release?
Nice!
Greetings All,
Been working on this for a number of months. It's a monster of a conversion.
There's regular news on my FG stuff on my Twitter feed.
So far I've converted the main text, still doing layout changes and sorting the fantastic number of images out. I'm upto Chapter 3 on that. I hope to complete the layout things in April, then it's a matter of adding in the vast number of NPC's and building the story elements.
A huge job but it's in hand. I use MoN as a 'calm down' whilst working on the Traveller ruleset and helping script the Vampire: The Masquerade ruleset.
Here's a screen dump of my MoN desktop, please note there's also going to be a theme to go along with the module.

Awesome! Looking forward to it!
Well, I know it is in work. And I am not sure if any input here at all will impact the final product. But let me chime in....
This is an immediately 'within the first hour' buy for me. And many others it would seem.
Will this campaign have items pre-set on the game Calendar with the GM fields populated? I know that some items dates can shift, but having that framework already set up would be fantastic.
Is each chapter, or even each side mission, going to be it's own loadable or unloadable Mod? Having a core Mod for all the underlying details, and then the ability to turn off or on different sections to conserve memory (and sanity) would be amazing.
Unlike the main books, any chance that some of the harder to read hand outs will also have text that is draggable to the chat screen?
Really can't wait for this one.....
The theme should have extension for increased fonts size. This edition of Masks has so much text that the default font size is not easy on the eyes.
And to add to the fun there’s this: https://www.syrinscape.com/store/?q=...cthulhulanding
Haven’t listened yet to avoid spoilers on the off chance don’t have a chance to play!
Wouldn’t it be sweet if MadBeardMan could integrate those sound links directly into the Story entries (and maps)?
There’s a couple ways for people to do that themselves, yes, but it’d be very sharp since the sounds are custom-built in this case.
Yes!, when this is going to be released? Eager...
Bump
I like this bump. But I wonder on the price... :)
Man, I really want to play this campaign on FG. Any updates on the progress?
Any Update?
Back on it soon, finished the Traveller2E ruleset and some adventures, just waiting to find out what's left for VTM. Been converting Terror Australis recently as it's a lot lot lot smaller that'll be done next month (September) then it's full speed ahead, all text is converted upto and including Chapter 5, the long dull data entry will come soon.
Thinking aloud (and this was discussed for HotOE), would you like to see it released in chapters? not sure how that would work out for pricing, or just wait the extra time for it all?
Cheers,
MBM
Personally I would have no issues with 'chapter releases' .... but, what if your group decide to miss chapter 3 out (trying to avoid too many spoilers here - though I think everyone who reading this at the very least is aware that the way it is written is fairly linear). After all players will do the least expected things for the least expected reasons.
Ah yes a very good point @Cearlan.
You people would think I'm mad though, I own my own business and only get paid when I work, but I'm taking at least another 3 weeks off before returning to contract work to catch up on things. So I'm hoping to get back to MoN pretty sharpish as I want to run it over Winter, which is a few short months away. Can't think of anything cosier!
So what I think I'll do is complete it all in one go, but look out for updates when/if people find mistakes, though it'd be ace to get someone to beta it....
Cheers,
MBM
I'm running MoN now and we are in London. I'm using the old 6e version with the 7e ruleset. Everything is working out fairly well. Of course there is the new Peru chapter and a few NPCs have changed, but I've loaded the new handouts and NPC portraits and just included them in the "Story" text right next to the old version. I'll certainly support you and buy the new one.
I think it would be best to release at once and not by chapter. Although written in a linear fashion based on the most likely order, each chapter stands alone and can be pursued in any order depending on the clues that have been found.

It is not for the seventh. Why?
I've been outlining MoN for notes in my home group game. It's taken a disgusting amount of hours. I can barely conceive of how much you need to do. Thank you for taking this on.
Nice, it's one huge campaign, 80% of the text is all converted, the hard work is to be done soon. Creating the NPCs etc and applying them into encounters and so on, in other words - making the fun stuff!
I've got the finishing touches to Terror Australis to get out of the way, then it's non-stop MoN!
Cheers,
MBM
Hi MBM, it's great to see all these projects being done, but I'm curious to know your thoughts on working on, what appears to be, quite a few 'biggies' at the same time? I'm a beginner dev (on my third now) but I find it takes me long enough just focussing on one at a time! :)
Hello! Any good new from the Space?
New Masks of Nyarlathotep for 7e is great and starts with nice little prelude in Peru.
Would happily join a group of investigators online
Is this project dead? It seems that @MadBeardMan is working on other stuff (which is fine it's his time) but it would be good to update the thread.
See my posts in a few weeks, the plan was to pickup MoN at Easter which is rapidly approaching. This virus thing happening which has us in lockdown may mean I can start sooner, my MGT2E update is happening very soon, which allows me to finish a book for Traveller, so that's my backlog cleared for MoN.
Cheers,
MBM
Ia! Ia! I just got MoN for Fantasy Grounds, hoping to start running it in a couple weeks after we wind up Flotsam & Jetsam. Too awesome!! However, I have noticed several images missing. For example, the 'Symbol of the Bloody Tongue'. There is a square 'image' there, but it is apparently blank. Is this a known issue? Did something go wonky with my download? Please advise!
Just chiming in - thanks for keeping us updated! Looking forward to get my hands on the module!
