Secrets of New Orleans.... WiP

**MadBeardMan** · February 13th, 2016, 23:17

It's been a bit quiet around here recently from me and whilst I've been working away on the Traveller conversion I needed a break from all the fun that entails.

So I've picked up the CoC conversion bug again and am busily converting Secrets of New Orleans. Now I chose this one as I ran a game using it a good few years ago and I wanted to read the updated book - so why not do that and convert it.

The main Sourcebook will be a Library, and I'll be converting the introductory scenario contained within it, as a separate module.

Here's a few screen shots:

Still let to do, complete the copying in of the text, format it all, then add in links to pictures/floorplans/maps and then finally add in the NPC's. Shouldn't be too bad just need a good block of time.

Cheers
Colin

Woot MadBeardMan!
I took some time out of other things and started the group on a short run through the Miskatonic Valley last night!
The investigators - quite a motley crew - made excellent progress so far.
I need to run some more Cthulhu

Nice to hear that, I wish I was in your Country so that I could play as well.... back on this at the moment...

So all text is copied over, most images are exported and so now it's time to start formatting and adding in all the various NPC's etc.....

Here's another quick screeny of a WiP setup (see if I like it, quite do).

And that's the Sourcebook all done.... now to get the Scenario all done, that shouldn't take too long as it's not huge, it's called 'Twilight of the Fifth Sun'.

So thinking about what to do next, I could do Secrets of San Francisco or continue with Beyond the Mountains of Madness.... decisions, decisions!

Looks great.

What is the syntax for the new formatting options?

And we're done... phew.

Onto Secrets of San Francisco now.... well, bed first - that tomorrow.

This looks great!

When is this coming for sale?

I see you mentioned "Beyond The Mountains of Madness"... I'd love to see the BtMoM in Fantasy Grounds down the road.

Indeed, great work.

When are we going to see "Secrets of Sheffield"?
