  1. FGU has an official conversion of DDT, but not of RC or RoL yet. Speaking of FGU, at least last I checked it didn't have support for either the XML or JSON exports, which is a pity.
  2. TDH can export XMLs, but I don't know that anything actually reads them yet. Fantasy Grounds doesn't yet, which is a pity since FG doesn't really have a character creation wizard in its CoC ruleset implementation.
  3. Interesting. It seems reasonable to reconcile them by intepreting the "reels from..." as pointing specifically to a bout of madness, rather than entering temporary or indefinite insanity, because (1) a character who is temporarily insane but in the underlying insanity state rather than a bout isn't reeling at the moment, but is vulnerable to it; (2) it allows taking into account a mix of Mythos- and non-Mythos triggers; and (3) it neatly reconciles them without requiring one to overrule the other. 😛 One's fragile mind gets shattered by knowledge that deeply conflicts with his mundane worldview and forever imprints upon him awareness of things that perhaps he'd rather wish that he didn't know. That the day started with a horrifying but seemingly mundane sight doesn't stop that terrible truth from sinking in. Seems reasonable to me.
  4. Keeper's book has "Machine Gun" specialization for automatic fire from a bipod or tripod-mounted weapon. An automatic rifle that wasn't deployed and used like that would actually use the "Submachine Gun" specialization when firing auto and not on single shot. Given this, "Machine Gun" seems perfectly reasonable for something like a Lewis gun. For an actual cannon, the weapons tables include a 120mm tank gun for the modern era (ala the 120mm L/44 main gun on an M1A2 Abrams) and associate it with the Artillery skill. So, it would be reasonable to include large-bore vehicle cannon, not just field artillery or mortar tubes etc.
