2) Game: Catch the Chicken
3) 2 new Gone Adventures
4) A Gone Adventures Compendium
5) New Music
6) Books: Tails of the Troublesome Terrier
What are your plans?

Catch the chicken now has a colour and printer friendly map! Now just to convert it to pdf and get some play tests :)

You wake up in a village, no idea who you are but your room is full of memories.
What era/theme is the village?
What equipment do you have?
What do you do when the attack begins?
Who are the attackers, and what do they take to start your quest?

My first real attempt at a magic item was A Mortal Blade. Less magical and more cursed as the more damage you did with it, the closer the blade was to breaking. Quite an interesting mechanic to use in your games:

A semi-productive day! Finished Catch the Chicken and nearly built a shed...
Only nearly as the front panels had a 2 inch gap at the top when they were flush on the bottom... back it goes and hopefully not long till we get a replacement
