Just an FYI that I will be starting the double-sided booklet style Quest Books momentarily. They will each be released when completed and replace the files currently available.

I don't think it will be much of a problem. They're a bit slippery - on par with the real spell cards. In my experience, stuff is getting shoved around on the board all the time anyway, so I don't see an issue. The rooms are so tight with doors, furniture and minis that things get moved so you just need to keep fixing them. I just deal with it.

That's awesome news, drathe. Thanks for the update. I finally got the one's you've posted in the Champions table, but haven't tried printing them out yet. What order will you be doing the new ones in? Will you release as you go, or once all of them are done?

Releasing as I go. I've started with the Frozen Horror and will work my way backwards to the Game System. That way the most difficult to find are available as soon as possible. A lot of people already have the system and one or two of the more common expansions. Frozen Horror should be available by the end of the day tomorrow. If things go well, the Mage of the Mirror may be ready too. I'll make a post here when I release them.

Ya, that's a real pain - it kind of blows the fantasy a little. Maybe the solution is to make another game board that has actual tiny raised edges around the squares, and thicker 'walls' that the door pieces will fit in too.
The board would wind up becoming larger that way...

I've always wanted to print a board and mount it on tin, then have all the tiles printed on fridge magnets, as well as add magnets to the bottom of the doors and furniture.

dude - that's an awesome idea - I just may have to do that - should I EVER find people to play with again...(sigh)

On a side note - I'm making some floor layouts that can be printed off - not really for the original game and expansions, but
could be used for someone's home-brew games - I'll post them for you when I'm done with them. No copyright on them.

As promised, the Frozen Horror Quest Book file has been updated to booklet format.

Those look fantastic, drathe. You do an amazing job. I've printed off my booklet versions of Ogre Horde and Wizards already. Can't wait to see how these turn out. Thank you so much.
