You can see a lot of work's gone into this, but one of the things I like about heroquest is it's simple and anyone can play even your friends who aren't really into RPGs. I guess for players who want that extra dimension it's great, but I like the simplicity of the game

Yea I know that a lot of people like the simplicity of Heroquest. I made this so that I could have a game that is in-between simplicity and complicated. I have a bunch of other dungeon crawlers and most of them are very dense to play. I love how simple heroquest is designed but I wanted more character customization. This isn't going to be for everyone but for those that do want more options for their heroes I think this will scratch that itch. :)

I saw a bumper sticker that said "Bell Riots 2024" which I thought was hysterical because I used to watch all the Star Trek, but I still had to look it up. We should seriously consider trying to get Has-bruh or A.H. to put out "Zargon 2024" bumper stickers. I realize it's just a U.S. reference, but I know there are more elections coming up in probably most of the countries where H Q. is sold.

I will check this out

Thank you Ash for doing an unboxing video and I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them. :D I will be working on a few more projects in the future that work with this set as well. I'm also working on making a 2.0 version of these were I go back over the wording and hire a artist to help me. I used my own models in stable diffusion which is a mix of my own crappy art and basic textures like wood textures and metal textures but AI art is always a bit lacking and I'm not super happy with the outcome. I have a artist locally that I know that will be willing to help me with version 2.0 of the set but that will be a while before I release that. The big AI question is did I use any of the models that you can find online filled with stolen art. No I didn't, I used my own models with basic textures. Pretty much AI is just a tool I use to help me clear the skill gap. I will be replacing this art in the future though using support from this release and my own funds because I don't really like how AI makes the art look though it is better then my free hand art lol. I hope this helps answer a few questions. Thank you everyone for your support!

thanks for clearing that up about the art. i’m an artist and have worked on projects that used my human made art. Alongside my stuff, some AI images tossed in by the project manager. I see the need for AI to “fill the gaps” - especially for really small publisher/company stuff. It’s way better than someone using all AI images (or stories) to save a buck and not support creative people. I’m gonna hold off to version 2.0 first now, because i fully support your goal of using real artists. 😊

Wow, the amount of thought put in to making a new token economy and still have each class feel and play uniquely is so impressive. So glad MegaQuest got featured here for better exposure!

This looks pretty fun. thanks for sharing! Is the 2.0 version out and what are the differences

I believe the 2.0 has text fixes and art changes, and clarification where it was asked for -- creator if you are here, please chime in if there's more!

I just got my copy and just a heads up. There are many editing errors with the physical copy. Also rules pdf seems incomplete. One thing I will home brew with these is starting weapons and racial starting abilities. For instance the Dwarf and Halfling characters will start with Disarm Trap. The Orcs will start with Broadswords or Short Sword and Shield. The Humans will start with +1 Skill and Short Swords. The Elves will start with +1 Spell. I still think this is worth it for the alternative play style and skills and spell system. I will offer these as an alternative advanced play option for players because of the disciplines and mana system. This can be played as is if you give the 4 attack characters Artifact starting weapons and maybe some Shields. I would purchase again but I did reach out to DriveThru about the editing errors.

Yea I do know about the editing errors. I'm working on making a version 2 of these with new art and I have a group of people reading through everything to make sure it's perfect. I have spoken with DrivethroughRPG about the a solution already. I'm going to send everyone that purchased the first version a coupon that discounts the second version to manufacturer cost (a little less than $10). This is a thank you to everyone that purchased the first version of the product. This was my first time going through this process and I learned a lot from this experience. :)

@@bravo320zf Thank you looking into this. The Halfling Thief is easy to figure out with the missing text, but I'm kind of lost with the Halfling Engineer. Will you be adding to the Version 2? I would like to see rules for the original heroes in your PDF. Also, the halflings should only be able to use single handed weapons or have some weapon restrictions. I'm going to home brew a hand crossbow for the Engineer since I'm basing their attack and defense on the original starting stats plus equipment.

Lol I will create a PDF with updates which will be helpful until I release version 2. Also, funny enough I am adding weapon restrictions for each class. I didn't think about it until I did more playtesting. One of my friends I'm playtesting with brought that up. I'm also going to add that to the updated PDF.

This is a recurring complaint and a valid one, I hope a UK based option can appear soon, it would really be a win win for everyone

For the Weaponmaster, did he ever clarify kill a monster with 'your' weapon vs. kill a monster 'that is using' a weapon? I think (sorry to disagree) that it should be- you get the token if your target monster has a weapon because the idea - only loosely implied - is that your skill rests in "weapon on weapon", or in the idea that a duelest may be out of his or her element in a wrestling match. Plus, I like that the player would want to seek out enemies with weapons because it forces the party to make more decisions in the investment phase of this character's development. I'd love to know what you think. The set looks really good - a great way to build more complexity, keeping the board game mechanic and avoiding a rules rewrite. Definitely a win.

I actually had two takes on that specific part, and edited the first out because I disagreed with how i initially inerpreted it. I did consider that the monster may have a weapon- but this is almost never called out in the game text, unless it is an artifact (that the monster often doesn't use itself). So then I thought about models *with* weapons, versus models without, and that made it make a but more sense, but I wasn't convinced yet. Your explanation is something I didn't think of though, and that fits that interpretation a lot better, so I can definitely see that being the case!

@CharlieO_

@@AshQuest Have to agree. And I think the model based interpretation, baring specific mentions in the monster's description, would be best. Since we're modding the game anyways, maybe a keyword for monsters that have a similar ability, but different. Like disarming, or the like. Like if a hero with the ability to block or parry is fighting something giant sized like a polar war bear or an ogre, they could run the risk of "block shock" where a smashing blow could injure or disarm the defending hero. Just a thought. This guy should put out a monster series, too.

I see soooo may things wrong with just Whirlwind. The word "attack" is used for both Attack Action, and Attack Dice. This is illustrated in the Luck modification, is that an extra die or action? It does not take into account if the weapon you use allows diagonal attacks or not. "The player decides who the first target is." OK, what about the rest? The mess you pointed out with acrobatics. The skill does not say that each target can only be targeted once, so Acrobatics allows you to get infinite attacks under one particular interpretation. Geez this is a mess.

Its a lot a bloat and no actual thought cause there isn't a single new idea. That leads to stuff like what you mention.

Regardless, if the art is A.I., the work that went into making the set is not. I'm buying this to support him. He might not have skills in drawing things.
