Minor updates to FF4

Sun, 11 Dec 2022 16:38:04 GMT

I've uploaded copies of the FF4 worldbook and adventures with some minor updates, mostly references to the numbered sections I was previously using but dropped for the PDF and small corrections, a copyright declaration, etc. Nothing really significant but they needed fixing. PLEASE let me know if you find anything else that seems odd, pages or illos that don't load properly, etc. etc.

Forgotten Futures 4 Rewrite and PDFS

Fri, 09 Dec 2022 18:48:40 GMT

I've reached a point with this now where I've either fixed everything or am blind to my own errors (probably the latter), so I'm going to go public with links to everything, if you spot any problems PLEASE let me know about them. I'll be putting links to this on my site and uploading the files to other sites in a week or so once I'm sure there are no huge problems.

One thing I'm aware of is that a few illustrations that have some white space may look slightly yellow. This is actually something that's gone wrong with the current releases of Adobe Acrobat, hopefully other PDF viewers won't have a problem. You may be able to fix it by messing around with Acrobat's accessibility settings. These are free downloads as usual, but there's a Paypal tip link on my site if anyone wants to use it - please include a message saying what the money is for! This has ended up as SIX files:

The Carnacki Cylinders
https://www.forgottenfutures.com/game/ff4/FF4-Worldbook.pdf
The worldbook with some updates and minor second thoughts, lots of new art including pictures of all major characters and creatures, etc.

The Pentacle Files
https://www.forgottenfutures.com/game/ff4/FF4-Adventures.pdf
The adventures with lots of new art and some revisions, including a new adventure by Alex Stewart.

Carnacki the Ghost Finder
https://www.forgottenfutures.com/game/ff4/FF4-Carnacki.pdf
The original stories with illos from the magazine appearances of the first six stories. There's also a little chapbook I found in the British Library that is a mashup of the first four stories, plus a poem which has nothing to do with Carnacki, which Hodgson's American publishers printed in 1910 to register the copyright. It's basically a clip show of exciting bits and not incredibly coherent, but interesting if you like REALLY obscure literary curiosities. I've also put that on line as a separate file for the literary scholars:

The Electric Pentacle Handbook
https://www.forgottenfutures.com/game/ff4/FF4-Pentacle.pdf
A brief history of Carnacki's most iconic invention with notes on the technology, scenario ideas, some floor plans and an instruction manual which can be printed as a little booklet.

And finally, a floor plan for Carnacki's laboratory as described in The Hog - might be useful to someone.
