So I took the plunge after my abortive attempt at writing a Civilisation plugin for SE and have started to write one for MoM.

Think is so far I have been playing on getting the character cards working first, but I see a lot of people talking about new keeper cards, events, etc, etc as being the things that they really want in an SE plugin.

So to my question.... What is the top 3 cards that people want in an SE plugin?

Bear in mind that I will, hopefully, get round to making all of the cards appear sooner or later, but which ones do you think would be best to begin with?

Ones that enable new scenarios. So events, objectives, and clues, primarily. Followed by actions and mythos cards.

Looking forward to your plug in!

Most important:

1. Event cards
2. Obectective cards
3. Clue cards

Almost as Important:

• Other Exploration cards
• Keeper Actions
• Mythos & Trauma

Ok so first version of the Event cards are now done.

Onto Objectives....

I'll try and get this and clues done by the weekend and then see if anyone wants to test it.

Thanks Mr K.

Anyone else who wants to get an early copy for testing leave a post here and i'll get one with the coding in the meantime

I'm **** good and ready to assist if I can, love this game. Love Strange Eons, would very much like to put the two together!

My turn for a n00b question... what is Strange Eons? I gather its some way to print/make new cards?

I'd love that... I think customized adventures is where MoM will truly shine.

Correct:

http://cgjennings.ca/eons/index.html:

[strange Eons is a design tool for creating custom content for board and card games. It was originally built for the Arkham Horror board game. For Arkham Horror players, Strange Eons makes it easy to create new investigators, Ancient Ones, monsters, items, allies, and other custom content—even whole new "big box" expansions. For players of other games, there is a small but growing base of support. Plug-in authors can add nearly any kind of game component imaginable.]

I am more than happy to assist with this

Excellent idea. I volunteer to test your pluggin.

Ok, so just a quick update for you all.

Mr K has kindly been helping out by taking a look at the first alpha release and based upon his comments ive already done some bug fixing as well as adding a couple of other cards.

The main issue i have at the moment is the quality of the scans of the cards, but as i have said before i'd like to get it working, then get it pretty.

Expect the first test release this week..... hopefully

Thank you very much, you're doing us all a great service, so no worries about taking your time .

Apologies if my own contribution to testing becomes somewhat limited, real life and the like .

Hello all again.

Ok, so work is progressing and seeing as im busy on the programming and im not in any way a graphics person, Mr K has had a look at the scans for the cards that I made. He has cleaned and compressed the templates and delivered them for testing.

Now looking at them they appear very different from the original scans and I wanted peoples opinions on the cards and which they would prefer in the final plugin. The only issue I have with them is that they seem too "clean". Now it might just be my tastes regarding the images so thats where you all come in. Which do you prefer?

I like the "dirty" ones better :-)

thank you so much for doing this.

I´d prefer the clean ones.

The clean ones have too much detail blurred out. I like the originals. Up the brightness a tiny bit and they'd be perfect.

Personally I prefer the rougher ones.

Yup rougher ones look good to me!

Cheers, Hal

rougher ones for me.

OK, just a quick update to let people knwo where we currently stand with this plugin.

Initial code is working and we have the images almost ready. The inital cards are all working with a few rough edges to work out.

I have hit a problem with SE trying to get a variable picture on the front and reverse of the cards and am currently seeking solutions for this.

If people are interested in trying out the alpha release, let me know and i'll post the link.

Cheers

I'd be very happy to test it.

Ok, for those interested here is the link to the alpha release.

All feedback greatly welcome

After a first test, it works well. Excellent job.

Few minor points:

* I would be very interested in Keeper Action Cards (for the keeper in arkham variant).

* In general. Several symbols do not appear on the card (e.g. quote, double quote, ...). Italicized fonts are not great.

* Objectives cards - the text is not contained in the sections. (e.g. it can go after the keeper section).

* clue cards. There is a lot of spare space on the left under the "Clue X".

That is all for now :-))

another point - the cards are not at the right size :-)
