Ye Olde Inn

After playing this again and finding that our friends and family have enjoyed it as well, I have started thinking about all sorts of things so I figured I might as well build a thread outlining what I'm attempting. I usually bite more off than I can chew, get distracted and wander off and forget what I was intensely keen on (case in point, I'd started this thread draft over 12 months ago ). So, I'm hoping this keeps me focused, centralises links to my key threads and provides me with somewhere I can stick my musings, wins, losses and outcomes.

Oh, this thread will probably make it sound grander than it really will be

Task List;

ü Print missing tiles - the Ye Olde Inn PDF's were printed onto Avery A4 label sheets and stuck them to thick card which turned out really well, basically as good as the original tiles
• Print remaining quest books
• Have better quality cards printed - the cards were printed on 250 GSM card which is approximately what the original cards weigh in at but I'm sure this can be improved
• Print card holder boxes - this would be a lot nicer than the snap lock bags I presently use
• Create alternate gaming board or two

Alternate Gaming Board;

I'd like to use an alternate gaming board but I'm undecided which way to go.

• Print large gaming board - having access to a large format plotter is pretty handy at times...
• Modular (magnetic?) board - I do like the idea of the layout of the map slowly being revealed
• Hirst Arts - I love the idea of this but this will take some time, effort and space which we don't presently have
