Comments
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.
 * The main text on Mythos cards (referred to as the 'text effect' in the rulebook).

Refer to your physical copy of the game when this text is required. Condition and Mythos 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.

Release History

 * Add thumbnails on the main map for ongoing Mythos cards.

 * Add right-click commands to Gates, map locations, and Clues which draw an Encounter card of the appropriate type.
 * Add thumbnails for Ancient One sheet and current Mystery card at the bottom right of the game board.
 * Discarding an Encounter or Mythos card now brings the main map window to front. (This can be disabled in the Preferences dialog if it annoys you.)
 * Another round of miscellaneous minor improvements.

Version 1.3
 * Add an option in the Preferences dialog which affects the number of Gates spawned by yellow Mythos cards, in an attempt to make the game's difficulty more consistent across different numbers of players.
 * A few other minor improvements.

Version 1.2
 * Add workaround for Vassal bug which prevented the Gate stack from automatically repopulating when empty.
 * When an investigator token is clicked, the corresponding Player Area window (if open) is brought to the front. (This can be disabled in the Preferences dialog if it annoys you.)
