ATTENTION: This module is no longer being actively maintained. The module contains custom Java code that has been updated for compatibility with Vassal version 3.6 and should work with all Vassal versions from 3.4.9 onwards. The source of the Java custom code is included in a folder inside the module.

Please Note: Version 1.9 of this module will not work with VASSAL 3.4.8 or later. Use version 1.9.2 of this module with VASSAL 3.4.9+.

Important: You need a physical copy of the game to use this module. In order to comply with FFG's policy, text has been redacted from some cards. Specifically, the following text is missing:


 * The text on the back of Condition cards, except for the title.
 * The text on the back of Spell cards, except for the title and number.

Refer to your physical copy of the game when this text is required. Condition cards can be identified by their title, and Spell cards by the combination of their title and number.

Font Problem with Java 6
The fonts on some cards (Encounter cards and Mythos cards for example) are not correct when VASSAL is run with Java 6 or earlier. It seems that system default fonts are being used, making the cards pretty much unreadable.

To fix this, download and install a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) with version 7 or higher. JRE installers are available for download from the Oracle website - at the time of writing, the latest version (8u60) can be found here.

"Combined Window" Option
The Preferences dialog contains an option labelled Use combined application window (to access it, after opening the module go to the File menu, choose Preferences, then select the General tab if it isn't selected already). I recommend you disable this option, by unchecking the box and restarting the module. Window management with this module works better if the windows are independent.

Moving the Sideboard
By default, the Mountains of Madness sideboard is placed below the main map. You can move it to the right side of the main map if you prefer - first select the sideboard by holding down the SHIFT key and clicking on it. Once selected, the sideboard can be dragged and dropped where you want it.
