Okay, I've gone back and corrected all my spelling errors.  Did anybody notice any plot/description errors in the i-ching and hand box cards or errors in the location descriptions on the board?  I have seen all the episodes but the details are kind of fuzzy.

I hadn't planned to make an actual game out of it but a few people seem interested so maybe I will give it a try.  I think it would be a huge hassle to try to get it manufactured.  I think you'd have to get Dan Curtis' and Parker Bros' permission and hire a legion of lawyers and accountants.

Craig Slocum, I haven't heard of the woods being referred to as the limbo woods.  Is that something I've missed or is it just your own personal description?

I could be very wrong about this, but I think you would just have to worry about DCP.  For some reason, I seem to recall reading that the patent on Monopoly had expired.

The Limbo Woods were near the graveyard. That's what they are called in the original Dark Shadows scripts.

I think that it is an interesting idea for sure.  However I have designed a few games myself and it is difficult to find companies to back your idea.  Doing all of the work yourself is quite a huge undertaking and it is expensive.  You can see that less than one  person in ten is even responding to this message and out of them how many would actually buy the product?  There are a lot of DS fans out there but again it is a question of how much can you sell.  I happen to be one of the people who would buy this game by the way and to me it is an excellent idea but I would tell you right now that I am a DS freak and I am not sure how many of  us there are out there.  GOOD LUCK TO YOU.

I think the idea for the game is fantastic, and if it existed, I would definitely buy it.  Then the only trouble would be convincing somebody to play it with me.
