Venery Guide/Venery Planner
A good Venery requires a bit of advance planning. Dreasimy's Guide to Creating a Venery is very helpful. In addition, you can use this Venery Planner as a starting point for designing your own venery.
How to use this Venery Planner
- Copy and paste the text below to your own document. This could be your User page or sub-page in this wiki (if you don't mind others seeing your venery planning) or a private document.
- If you want more than 7 Simple Lockboxes in your venery, add extra Key sections as required. You only need 7 lockboxes and 6 keys in your venery to pass the Test, but can have more if you want.
- Replace the placeholders in <angle brackets> with your own content.
- Spell-check your content.
- If you want your content translated into languages other than English, such as French and German, translate it or ask for help translating.
- Build your venery, copying and pasting the spell-checked and (optionally) translated content into the venery gathering point and lockboxes as required.
