Done and Dusted...

Still needs a lot of work, but that will have to wait for the contests aftermath.

For those who are interested...

Here it is

WALKABOUT

Warning...it's BIG.

Not big compared to hardback games you'd find on the shelf of your local gaming store, but big compared to most other contest entries.

40+ pages.

Baxil:
That makes me feel a whole lot better about my own entry and its ~26 pages (will be over 30 by the end of the night).  See you at the finish line! :)

Vulpinoid:
I just thought I let everyone know that the first errata/addendum for Walkabout has now been released.

I guess that makes it like a real roleplaying game now.

It can be found here on my websites new Walkabout page.

Or here as a direct download.

The file consists of the pages I didn't get to finish in time for the competition deadline and a few other bits and pieces that accidentally got culled in the rush to make an entry.
 
I've also since read through my text a bit more thoroughly and have found artefacts dating back to earlier versions of the game (references to "lowlifes" from FUBAR rather than the "Wayfarers" of Walkabout), so if there's anything else in it that doesn't make sense, please let me know.

If you do end up playing the game, please let me know how it went...and please submit the session over to the Game Chef site.

Baxil:
Quick note on the Walkabout page; it looks like it got cut off.  The page I see ends with "In time I joined a Wayfarer circle, to pass on the goo" and doesn't have any links.

Once again, I find that your own work is making me feel a lot better about mine; I released a revised version of Egregore (there were some egregious last-minute editing errors and a few things that wanted clarification) this week.  Although I didn't change anything mechanically - the new version should be 100% intercompatible with the original Game Chef download.  I'm going to start putting together further improvements into a new, non-Game Chef version.

I'm not quite sure what to make of that comment.

I am going to do a drastic rewrite of Walkabout, I'm working on the play examples now (they are currently sitting at five pages, and will probably expand out to at least a dozen). I'm also seriously considering some tweaks to the rules, but I probably won't formalise those changes until I get some feedback on the game.

As for a line getting cut off...I was pretty sure I checked that, but the final days was a bit of a rush.
