Because sometimes you've just got to make a game...

Writers group tonight and things were a little down because there we all were talking about the various parts of writing and we were getting quite despondent about a bunch of things, most notably how difficult it is to get things out there and build a fan base and all the other things that you have to do, so in the manner of all good procrastinators, it was suggested to see what else we could do to brighten things up.

Someone came up with the idea of making a new game...

Cheerfully I have a kit for just this sort of occasion, this one in fact.

Various resource counters, luminous and non luminous...Check...

Multi-Coloured blank cards...Check...

1000 D6 (You never know....) Check...

Counters of all types...Check...

Actual metal to represent Treasure...Check...

And so we set about it, three hours of brainstorming and something that we feel has a good chance to go to prototyping was resolved, we're going to put it all together in the next week, so check in next thursday to see where we're at with it....

Anyone else have a game building kit they use, pictures anyone?
