Trail of Cthulhu ruleset

[CryAxe]

Is this ready for FG 3.1, which is expected to be released today?

Also, would it be better to purchase the CoC modules from FG and manuelly translate them into the ToC rule system, or get the PDFs and go that route?

Finally, thanks for all of the hard work and sharing the fruits of your labor!

ToC should be OK with 3.1 - unless there is a major clash with the CoreRPG ruleset.

If you want to have the whole module in FG then buy the CoC module and you'll just have to convert the NPCs - you'll have the story and image/map entries ready to go.

Bundle of Holding are just re-running their offer to get heaps of Trail of Cthulhu books for not much money (and give some to charity). If don't already have the books, head on over:

Thanks. I'll go that route. I wasn't sure if FG would allow me to load the CoC modules without loading the CoC rule-set.

Thanks. Luckily, I haven't purchased the PDFs yet. This is a great deal.

See step #4 here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...l=1#post206511 In the Coc module change the ruleset tag from CallOfCthulhu to TrailOfCthulhu.

Possibly add the Trail of Cthulhu as another ruleset tag rather than changing the Call of Cthulhu one. The modules will then load in both.
These will be the Chaosium 6th Edition material though, not the Gumshoe material in the Bundle of Holding.

From what I heard from two good sources including the creator, the TOC corebook has been submitted to Smiteworks for review months ago. With enough pressure perhaps we could see a store release soon

there is still a couple of things outstanding on a bigger release.... sssshhh.

You really need to make a copy and change the ruleset tag in the copy of the module (use both rulesets in the copy if you really want to). Doing this avoids the FG updater thinking the module is the wrong version and overwriting it.
