Notes on the contents of this pack:
Let's get to work on this brand-new, eagerly-awaited adventure: Horror on the Orient Express!
This pack contains the whole of Chapter 1-Dancers in an Evening Fog, which serves as an introduction to the campaign.
1- Overall, after taking a lot of notes on this campaign, I think I'll try to fit the chapters into 1 Highlight, or 2 highlights, maybe 3 exceptionally, because some chapters can be really long.
I have 2 goals, the first being that the campaign should be well supplied with visuals allowing you to envisage several situations. The second, however, is to keep a certain rhythm so that the highlights don't become too long and tiresome at the end, even if I have to come back and add more maps during the Beta. To do this, when I list the locations in a chapter, I classify them by importance. The more optional maps will be taken from other locations I've mapped previously, and adapted for the occasion.
2- For the Challenger conference, I've imagined 2 rooms, with a reception area to facilitate meetings and discussions with Professor Smith and any antagonists.
3- In Smith's bedroom, where he appears burnt, you'll see bandages on the bedside table. And a blanket on the sofa where Beddows sleeps...
4- It appears that Professor Smith had a beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood. The book mentions possible police officers investigating the fire.
5- For the British Museum Reading Room, I've obviously reproduced its famous circle configuration.
6-For the Turkish store, I added a small space for the backyard, to give investigators the opportunity to break in without attracting too much attention.
7-Scotland Yard, the big absentee from this highlight, will benefit from a map or pack to represent it.

SPECIAL FOUNDRY Version for Cthulhu subscribers :
At the end of each chapter (The number of Highlights depends on the size of the chapter) I should be able to deliver the chapter as a Foundry module. That way, you don't have to waste time walling up the maps - they're ready to use.
I explain how to do it just below and in the .zip file.
You must own FoundryVTT and be a Cthulhu Tiers subscriber to download it:
