things are on the way

June 15, 2009

Actually, we are in a quiet period for the BTMOM scenario, because my players are kind of non-available, so I got back working on older stuff, like the Kholat Syakhyl scenario, which is becoming beter and better. For now I almost finished the redaction and the main layout of the pages. The next step will be to make the illustrations and to insert them in the text. For this scenario (which is my first one) I will try to end up with something that has the professional look, and all the details of a good scenario.

If you’re interested in this scenario, just keep watching as I will post updates and maybe some previews of the final piece. When I’ll be finished with this one I might start up another one, but for now I don’t have any scenario ideas that are woth it. Actually, the Kholat Syakhyl, was really my best home-made scenario, and that’s why i’m putting all that effort in it.

Concerning mountains of madness, all the props I am procducing as handouts for my interpretation of the game are centered around the strakweather-moore expedition, to keep things more original and also because, the friendly guy at propnomicon did an incredible job  with the 1930-31 miskatonic expedition stuff.

Last thing, there is also another prop project on my list now, and it isn’t linked to any of my other projects. It is a phone directory of the three major cities of H.P. Lovecraft country : arkham, kingsport and innsmouth. as always, I used period reference to recreate this directory. Preview:

mountains of madness

June 8, 2009

I continued the game itself with my players and took a lot of time creating props for it last week. Among them, there is the classical newspaper clippings, the equipment manifest for the starkweather moore expedition, letters, telegrams, a transport crate that will be used to store specimens, a crystal radio like the ones that could be used as trail radios, the plans of the S.S. Gabrielle and some other miscellanous paper stuff.

I will not be able to begin to post them since a little time because my current access to internet is becoming scarce and I dind’t found the time to photography all this stuff. but I still have an image for you, it is a little background picture in the mood of BTMOM. To realize the back of this image I took one of the roerich paintings that lovecrafts refeer to when he describes the mountains.
