Revision as of 05:23, 19 August 2016

I'm helping out with adding synopses and other details to Scenarios in the wiki.

In progress

Scenarios I'd like to contribute:

  • Not much, for now. I may fill in the occasional Tome, Monster, or Cult page as time permits.

On the Drawing Board

Someone else can feel free to do any of the following - just let me know so I don't start working on them at the same time :) Scenarios I could contribute to, but won't be able to do immediately:

  • Nothing, for now. In the future, I may create pages for individual Lovecraft stories, and for "Lovecraftian" films (with an eye for adapting some films into RPG scenario plots).

I also intend to create pages for "Lovecraftian" films and television series - the following red YSDC wiki links point to pages that do not yet exist:



Complete

I've finished updating these scenario pages, feel free to provide further editing and reviews:

D20 CoC (2002)

Cthulhu Dark Ages (2004)

Dreamlands: Role-Playing Beyond the Wall of Sleep (2004)

Halloween Horror (2005)

Halloween Horror 2 (2006)

Halloween Horror Returns (2007)

The Bride of Halloween Horror (2008)

Plan 09 From Halloween (2009)

Dead Leaves Fall and Other Halloween Horrors (2011)

Pulp Cthulhu


I plan to blog some reviews for these, and add links for the reviews, but they could probably use some additional review links (YSDC has some great reviewers, I just haven't been able to concentrate on tracking their reviews down!)

It looks like many of the scenarios have "red links" for monsters, tomes, locations, cults, and organizations, some of which are unique to those scenarios (or their authors' other works). I may try to fill some of those red links, but feel free to add them yourself if you get to them first.

Out of Scope

Additionally, I've done the following things that were originally outside my "Halloween Scenario" scope:

  • Lemon_Sails (I've finished this, it's free for further revision and review!)
  • new category for scenarios set in schools (location-based scenarios)
  • new category scenarios set in Japan (places)
  • I contacted the author of one of the scenarios to see about including "lost" background information on the Village of Sogailraugh; it should be OK to include a link to the website that is hosting the supplemental information, and provide a map key.
  • Created redirects for "Orne Library" and "Orne library" (they point to Miskatonic University (Location)).
  • Added, organized, and cited Miskatonic University staff and books in the Orne Library, making heavy changes to Miskatonic University (Location).
  • Created categories for Sthood (a Dreamlands deity).
  • Added illustrations for the Miskatonic University Library, Corbitt House ("The Haunting"), and lighthouse for "Terror at Erne Rock", plus additional illustrations and alternate floor plans for buildings that have appeared in the first couple Halloween Monographs (I "built" the houses in 3D using The Sims 3, and posed them for screenshots).
  • Created a page about Halloween, mainly to answer the question of why cultists would choose to perform spells and rituals on Halloween (which has quickly become a good question, considering the number of Halloween scenarios I've seen so far in documenting the Halloween Monographs!)
  • New Venue Category: Farms
  • New Venue Category: Restaurants
  • Created an entry for "The Book of the Dark Order of Baphomet"; I took the opportunity to begin sketching in the foundations of a loose Tome template I may use for future entries (based loosely on the entry for the Necronomicon).
  • What do you know? "Foxfield" is a Lovecraft creation, one I'd never heard of before, used in one of the scenarios I synopsed(?). I was unable to find the map Lovecraft was said to have drawn, but I suspect the map included in the scenario is probably at least based on it, so I created a cheap imitation. (Anyone with access to a copy of Lovecraft's original can feel free to replace my poor drawing, if there's no problem with copyright on Lovecraft's original.)
  • New categories for a few eras (Invictus, 18th and 19th centuries, etc.; surprisingly these did not already exist, but there don't seem to have been too many Colonial American or Imperial Roman scenarios archived in any great detail in the Wiki until I started documenting some of Halloween scenarios that use off-beat settings.)
  • New category for scenarios, Venue: Library
  • Added some variations of mythos tomes included in a couple of scenarios, and created several pages for new tomes.
  • Redirects for "Hyborea", "Hyborean" to "Hyperborea".
  • Details about town of Aylesbury.
  • Illustration for Deep Ones (taken from a creepy old woodcut)
  • A new page for Gloon.
  • Better organization of Occult Books
  • New illustrations for Erne Rock lighthouse.
  • Added details to "Cultes des Goules" and "Comte d'Erlette" as a result of running across some details in a Delta Green story.
  • Built and uploaded screenshots of the MU "Miskatonic University English Department", based roughly on a design included in one of the scenarios I looked at ("The Faculty Party"). Seems like the basic floor-plans could be re-used for any generic University classroom building, and might come in useful in other scenarios.
  • Expanded on categorization by "Setting" and "Style" (for example, it would seem that Dream scenarios are as much a departure from Purist CoC style as Pulp scenarios, depending on the Group's opinion of Dream scenarios; Dreamlands-based scenarios are a setting all of their own; etc.)
    • I should expect that Combat-Heavy scenarios are similarly a stylistic departure from traditional investigation-based scenarios, but I haven't decided whether to single these out as a Style yet.
  • Added or expanded the pages for numerous creature races and lesser-known Great Old Ones.
  • Template and Categories for Films and reviews, plus a "Lovecraftian" rating system:
    • Tentacle Ratings
    • Category:Film:General
    • Category:Film:Franchise
    • Category:Film:Film
    • Category:Film:Short
    • Category:Film:Series_or_Serial

Added or elaborated on the following:

Creatures:

Cults/Organizations:

Tomes:

Great Old Ones:
