This is a very exciting time for AH fan content. After MH dropped all we have really seen from FFG have been the monster minis and no talk of anything new for the game.

The fans though have been hard at work. There is a near complete Dreamlands expansion, A new version of Lovecraft Country Horror is about to be posted, and Vermont Horror is now all packed up nice and neat for download, and lots of smaller projects that all show promise.

And now the return of Arkham Investigations.

I have many things to be grateful for today… :)

I hope you are right! But as far as FFG's new content, I am not sure where else they can go with Arkham Horror. They have covered nearly every aspect of Lovecraft's world….It might be up to to the fan-base to create new material.  And that should sound as a rallying cry to all of us!

For my part, I managed to complete the editing/re-write of my casebook, The Haunting tonight. I will upload the casebook in the morning. I feel that I have fixed all the mistakes that plagued my first version so that it is now fully playable. I would very mcuh appreciate feedback on both of the revised casebooks on the new site in case there are further mistakes that need to be corrected.

I have already begun the intial work on the next casebook, The Dunwich Horror, this evening. My ultimate goal is to release two entirely new casebooks by mid-July.

Cheers,

Old Man Whateley

I actually started to translate this case some time ago but then got distracted. I could manage to finish the translation by sept.

FYI, I have also a second case that is half done ("Evil Spirit") that is an attempt of a new genre of investigations. And finally, I have been working on Arkham of Madness a mix between Arkham Horror, Arkham Investigations and Mansions of Madness for almost a year. The first scenario is being play-tested by some french gamers. I should be able to translate this as well before oct-nov.

Wow…a lot going on…now the creator of the Golden Scarab expansion has hooked me up with a copy he has and I will be going through and comparing to make certain I have as complete a copy as possible.

Guys I am PSYCHED :)

It's been kinda crappy lately and with AH being my goto game for fun and distraction this has all been a big boost for me. I'll do as I just did in email form and thank you guys and everyone else who have been working on this 'labor of madness' called AH and its many facets.

I'm going to be posting about all the recent events in brief on my HPL blog http://darknessoverdunwich.blogspot.com/ and then covering things in more depth when I get the zine/journal version up and running of Darkness over Dunwich (covering HPL gaming, fiction, film,etc).

Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing everyone's upcoming output :)

UPDATE

As promised, I have finished the reiwrite and editing of the case, The Haunting, and have uploaded it to the new site. The zip file contians the casebook and all handout and cards in pdf ready for printing. I took an additional day to do some more proofreading to catch any mistakes that may have still lingered…

Now, I am off to open some ancient and forbidden tomes to write the next casebook, The Dunwich Horror…

Cheers,

Old Man Whateley

I'm on it :)

And why do I keep getting this visual image in my head that you are sitting in an old office from the 20's pounding this stuff out on an manual typewriter…I can hear the clatter of the keys from time to time…and the occasional pause because you keep hearing something out in the darkened hall…

:)

(hehehe…just keeping the mood)

UPDATE

I am feverishly ( or is it fiendishly) pouring over the new case book entitled, The Terrible House. It is shaping up to be a very good case book with a great deal of new material. Here is a sample of the first three pages of the new case book:

I wrote the casebook much in the style that I used for Dark Dreams of Dagon, so expect a good deal of atmosphere and lierary prose.

I also have begun to construct a number of props for my personal use while playing Arkham Horror/Arkham Investigations. I created a new page on the website for various props that I am constructed, along with design plans/templates for others to do so. The Arkham Horror PRops page can be found here : arkhaminvestigation.onlinewebshop.net/props.html 

For now, I have uploaded my new Eldritch Dice Tower and the pdf needed to build your own. Here is an image of the tower:

Cheers, Old Man Whateley

UPDATE

I have continued my ferverish delving into certain unspeakable of forbidden tombs and managed to find some more great props for use in Arkham Horror/Arkham Investigations. Vist the Props page of the Arkham Investigation site for more details.

The first is a great Investigator play mat to better organize your cards and tokens.

The second are three printable pdfs for constructing tuck boxes for easy storage of your Arkham Horror components such as cards and markers. Each tuck box is full, high-quality color.

very nice, keep it coming !

Thanks amikezor! In addition to writing the latest casebook, I have decided to fully prop my own Arkham Horror game. I absolutely love the Eldritch Dice Tower, and it looks wonderful next to the board! As I find other great props on the internet, I shall add them to the web site. 

Cheers, Old Man Whateley

Looking good man.

Now if I can just shake this bug and feel like pounding the keyboard I got a lot of catching up to do :)

 Hey OldManWhately.  If you are willing to host peoples' custom content on the website, would you kindly put mine up, too?  It's called Dark Corners of the Earth and all the material is found on BBG here: javascript:void(0);/*1343705410387*/

I'll be putting up a mirror for DARK CORNERS as well, Musha…just have to finish a few web pages and pay my domain name renewals.

And yes, still here guys…I have had the worst luck this year at 'chasing ghosts' I believe the wife calls it…

First I'm running all over the place tracking down AH custom content then I switch over to put in a quick survey for the other journal I'm publishing and get mired in a mudhole over a game that has 6 versions 9 owners and none of them getting along (or so it would seem)…jeeeez…I really know how to pick'em.

Now I wait for tomorrow when a vote goes down on a sales tax to fund road projects and if it passes I might be dropping off the earth for awhile (our house is in the kill zone) due to packing down 10 years worth of clutter from our stay here. Ugh…

Anyway, good gaming everybody and yes I'm still collating notes for the first edition of DARKNESS OVER DUNWICH…the first edition will cover what I loosely term 'The Dark Pharaoh Campaign' covering all the material, commercial and custom, that is available.

Ok, must stop typing…fingers hurt…things are lurking in the corner…oh…wait…that's just my lack of sleep trying to sneak up on me…never mind… :)

Hello,

this is my first post in Arkham forums, although I enjoy Arkham Horror since 2006.

First of all I want to thank OldManWhateley for his Arkham Investigations website and everyone who contributed to it!

A couple of questions:

- is there some news about casebooks? In this thread there are a couple cited that should be work in progress.

- any advice to print the custom material (cards, monsters, etc.)? Some good online print service?

Thanks again

Bye

hello and happy new year!

is this thread dead?
