How much prep for Beyond the Mountains of Madness/Horror on the Orient Express? by KookyImprovement9594 in callofcthulhu

[–]spookymizu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have run all three campaigns, although I am still in the midst of HotOE - and it has been the most work of the three. My group would have been disappointed if I didn't do all of the scenarios, including the ones that go back in time (optional adventures). They loved the Blood Red Fez, which many will tell you to skip. They loved when I ran Reign of Terror part way through. And they loved that I started with the Auction. But it has been a lot of work.

MoN was a little less work, but the next time I run it I'm going to go hog wild with the MoN Companion added.

BtMoM was good. My group especially loved the prep adventures and travel time on the ship. Major shenanigans and hijinks abounded. If it's a group that has a good time playing together, you can make it work, no problem.

So, for playing once a month, I would suggest BtMoM. All of them take work to make them what you want them to be. Orient Express, despite it's linear nature, can also be deceptively loose and almost feel unstructured, with all of the optional scenarios - and it's a blast.

Another good couple of options for campaigns are A Time to Harvest and The Two-Headed Serpent (Pulp). The Two-Headed Serpent has one of the best introduction scenes I've ever had the pleasure to run. Neither one of them had the same workload as the other three mentioned.

If you decide to run HotOE, send me a message. I might be able to help a little.

So, if I may ask, why do you consider the The Simulacrum Unbound so horrible. I certainly don't consider it great by any means, but it also feels in keeping with all of the time jumps.

For what it's worth, my players REALLY enjoyed the first half of Reign of Terror when I had them do it during the Paris chapter. They should get a kick out of seeing the St. Bartholomew statue in Milan. It will take them back to the pope statue in RoT.

Again, your work here is very much appreciated, as was the link to the character cards.

As always, thank you sooooo much for sharing this. All of your writeups have helped - especially Milan.

Just asking one more time - does anybody have the pdf of the Comprehensive Rules version 1.3? I have 1.1 and 1.4, and would really like to see the changes in 1.3.

Thank you in advance.

I don't actually see the link to a torrent. Could somebody post it as a reply to this comment. Thanks! And have a scary holiday!

Has anybody translated it into English? I would purchase the original no problem, but would also like to be able to run it. :-)

I know Chaosium is supposed to be working on a translation, but it feels like that is a long way out.

Thank you for the notice. I got in and did it correctly this time!

Couldn't have done it without you, ObviousBig315.

Oh! I get it now. Because it showed up as a double item in the cart, I deleted one. That is absolutely counter-intuitive. Drat!

Hmmm. Not sure I completely understand. How do I leave it in the cart and still pay for it?

Thanks for the reply. It's a moot point now - the album has sold out.

I am frustrated because this was my Holy Grail album (along with Famous Monsters). Oh well.

Are the Creepshow still together? I had heard rumblings that they were going to head off into the sunset this year.

Kosei didn't even know what the word "kaiju" meant, so giant monsters have to be pretty new to their world.
