Expansion #4 in the Ocean series is here! Well, the first draft anyways. This one is called "Buried Treasure" and pits the players against each other in a race to find treasures on the open ocean. There are 60(!) new tiles here, 36 treasures, 24 maps, and 4 new NPC's. As always I'm open for feedback. Here's the full download: http://www.mediafire.com/?mu2zkzm4mg0Have fun! |

The trial version works just fine for what we're doing. |

That was better. I was able to have a look. I really like this one. I didn't read the whole thing, but I did skim it. I really like the treasure tiles! They are great. I think you have an excellent use of existing game art. Really good job! The only thing on the rules that I noticed that could be potentially confusing is the number of tiles listed. You have the whole number of 60 listed and then the breakdown of 24 and 36. I think it might be better to list either the 60, or the 24/36 just for the sake of clarity. Great job on the whole!

Actually there are literally 60 new tiles, 36 treasure tiles, and 24 map tiles. That's a total of 120 new tiles. But I specifically designed this so that you could print the treasure and map "tiles" on cards, since they never will need to fit into the actual playing surface. Therefore, the treasure and map tiles should be much easier to create. |

Oh, I guess if I'd thought about it and actually remembered what I looked at, I would have realized that... sorry.  |

salut,
Ok here you go: http://www.mediafire.com/?zjrqykjmbm4I don't have acrobat though so the quality is really poor. ".docx" is the standard extension for MS word '07. I'm still hoping to get some feedback on this so please let me know what you think! |

".docx" is the standard extension for MS word '07. Sorry, I hate to digress, but when saving in MS word '07, it's always safer to save it in a 97-2003 format so people who don't have '07 can open it. I get this at work alot as we all have '07 but send files to people that only have '03 .....and obviously they can't open the file :  '07 can open '03 but '03 can't open '07. Microsoft,  |

Microsoft, Same with Mac Office '04 and Office '08. There is a download available for both Mac '04 and Windows '03 to make the programs be forward compatible. It should be fairly easily accessible from the website. Why Microsoft decided to add a stupid x to the end of all their extensions is beyond me. |
