Tavern Adventure / DIY

With the help of AI I was able to create a tavern map , Npcs and a card for drinks.

Wasn’t easy and took some time to get it right but the first test play went excellent.

Any hints how to create more maps ? My next quest idea Needs a ship map.

I found a way to make it work with the boat map and the grid It’s not exact the size like I wanted but will do a good job this weekend Still have to glue it on cardboard

Doors and doors...

I did different colors and rust, kinda, because I like colors and it'd be task painfully boring to paint them all the same anyway. With these done, I got all the decor of the game done. Yea!!!

Finished the furnitures!

First time painting furnitures. Very fun and shorter than expected. The fireplace was really cool, the chair and libraries too. The alchemist table was nice... but harder due to the many elements. Very happy with all of them!

WhQ '95 Box Repair

My first box repair and though it's not perfect, I'm exceptionally happy with the result!

Before and After:

Finally upgraded

Finally took the plunge and upgraded my game system from the original of my childhood. The pieces are all way higher quality, also the more detail on the figurines. My only complaint is that I’m not quite sure how to store everything in the new box since everything is got its own specific place I used to be able to store extra items in the original anybody have workarounds they would like to share?

What are people's thoughts on my Vampire?

As she is now, she's essentially a Dread Warrior with a life steal ability. I thought of dropping her Attack or Defend to 3, but either at 3 sounds too low for a Vampire. What do people think?

New Con Exclusive Quest Will Debut At Gen Con 2026.

Avalon Hill's Gen Con 2026 events are up. There will be two (recurring all throughout the con) for Heroquest: Wizards of Morcar played on the Game System, and a new con exclusive quest from Doug Hopkins played on First Light.

I'm very surprised by this (and obviously very happy). I figured they would just replay Dread On The Horizon since it's a prequel to WOM. Seems like an obvious upsell. I'm curious if it will be a pure standalone or if it's setting up an upcoming expansion.

Started painting minis

Recently took up painting minis as a hobby so I could paint my HQ sets. Here are my first few completed projects! Any constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated, especially in regards to eyes and facial details. (I used citadel paints, no primers)

The Gargoyle

I tried freehand for the base, inspired by a fellow Redditor (who paints better than I do). The model itself is your basic stone Gargoyle... Quite happy with it tho.

Solo rules for Hero Quest

Just snapped this bargain, In excellent conditions and complete!

I wanted to get a copy for years, finally pulled the trigger on it.

It was the game that started my tabletop wargaming passion when I was a child and that continued ever since.

Can't wait to paint the minis, been a long time since I painted something so vintage!

Unfortunately I don't have a group of friends to play this with. Can I have some guidance from the community on what's the best way to play this solo?

Thanks all and glad to be here⚔️⚔️⚔️🛡️🛡️🛡️💀💀💀

Any news on new content?

I’m halfway through painting WoM and coming to the realization that I won’t have any new HQ content to paint. I’ve painted everything to come out from the 2021 release. Is there any news in the discord that content is coming? The original Kickstarter says we’d see content till 2026…and here we are? Is this the end of the road?

My Collection so far

I just started my AH HeroQuest collection last month. Funny story. About 10 years ago I bought my original MB HQ at a Half Priced Books in Richardson for $175. I played it with my nephew a few times before it got shelved after some piss poor paint jobs I attempted sucked the enjoyment out of it for me. The whole box just became a "grey pile of shame" for me. When Avalon Hill announced the rerelease I was ecstatic but broke as hell.

About a month ago I almost bought a brand new copy of AH HQ at Madness but decided it was just too expensive, $140. I then drove down the road to the same Half Priced Books as before, on a whim, and spotted this pristine copy of AH HQ on a cart waiting to be shelved. Priced at $80. Literally half what I would have paid up the road. I snatched it immediately.

A few days later I got my bonus check from work and hit the online stores. I even gave Madness some business and bought 3 of my expansions there. I have the Monk arriving tomorrow and the Wizards of Morcar on order. I even got a jumbo, neoprene, double-wide-hallways version of the board from GripMats on Etsy. I have spent well over $400 on Hero Quest in just a little under a month.

I love this game and thankfully so does our gaming group. I love this community. Mostly because it is a relief to see that I'm not the only one who has spent way too much money on a board game. 😆

Barbarians

1 new barbarian, 1 from first light, 1 old barbarian and 1 grenadier barbarian.
Really struggling with eyes as my eyes fail me, I’m up to a +3 on my reading glasses now 😂, these took 2 attempts.
I’m wondering if anyone has a guide or tutorial for red tartan or leopard fur?

So, I made some bugs…

A while ago I made a few resin printed centipedes, spiders and snakes, along with some FDM mini bases, which could be used for making floating skulls and basing the rats.. it cost me a little to print them, but o recouped that by selling a couple of sets on eBay. These were meant to replace the card tokens of JOD, and the rats and skulls were great in COPD. I’m wondering if there’s any appeal in me getting another round printed up. EBay’s not a rest place to sell, and intl. shipping is awful. But what are peoples opinions on them? (These are my paintup for my personal set)
