1/2/2017 Exile In The Forest

I'm having to make some changes to Exile In The Forest, but it's not for play at all. It's because of components. I wanted to make a modular board that would be different every game, but I the only way I found to do that with The Game Crafter made pieces that are just too flimsy.

After trying a few times to play with them I finally acknowledged that I have to make a static board. While I'm at it I decided to increase the font size on the cards too.

Life stuff has been getting in the way of game design BUT I got my copy of Exile In The Forest came!

It looks so beautiful. I did a couple of videos to show you:

Tue 12/13/16 Finalists Announced for Adventure Game

Well, Exile in the Forest did not make it to the finals. I'm pretty disappointed. I put a ton of work into it and looking at the judge's comments I feel like she's not really accurate so that's frustrating. Like she said that my rule book didn't have an example of dice combat with pictures but it definitely does. Also apparently my video didn't process right and just came out as still pictures. I wish I had a way to tell her that that was not what it was supposed to be and I wasn't able to see that it hadn't worked. Oh well.

What this means is that I don't have to wait until final judging before making tweaks to my game and putting it on sale. So I've fixed up some stuff and it's now published at The Game Crafter. This one I haven't put out a print and play version because it's a really massive game.

Once I get my own copy I'll get a video up and better action pictures but because of the Christmas rush it will be a few weeks for that.

Please do take a look at the page, download the rulebook, and let me know what you think!
