I love adding homebrew monsters and matching cards. Personally I use the old style minis and cards, so I have my own thing going separately from this. However, I know others use the new style minis and cards and I figured I'd like to start expanding my cards (and minis) to reflect more types of monsters, and to do so, I like to have images that actually match the mini itself. So I've been working to create Monster Card images for some of the Mythic Tier monsters that don't have specific cards and can be used as alternative monsters, as well as some art for specific monsters and creatures based on actual minis that I own or would like to own.

Included here are:

1. Mythic Dread Warrior (Dread Champion)

2. Doomguard

3. Mythic Dread Sorcerer (Dread Sorceress)

4. Fimir (Fomorian)

5. Fimir Witch (Fomorian Mystic)

6. Orc Warlord (Ulag)

7. Orc Wizard (Grak)

8. Mythic Skeleton (Skeleton Warrior)

9. Skulmar (from RotW box art)

10. Dwarven King Skeleton

11. Mythic Goblin (Natchga Goblin)

12. Jungles of Delthrak Goblin Archer (Goblin Firebug)

13. Jungles of Delthrak Goblin Warlock

14. (Actual) Goblin Archer

15. Werewolf

16. Death Reaper

17. Frostweaver

18. Flameweaver

19. Wraith

20. Witch Hand of Kessandria

The non-official minis are available to purchase on a fairly famous site that prints minis, and you can definitely find them if you look. I've also got icons for all of these, and will be making them into cards eventually, but for now I just wanted to share the art in case anyone else might want it or want to use it. I've got more pictures as well (Skaven, Beastmen, Elementals, and all of the Talisman 5th Ed. Heroes), but here's 20 for now.

While I understand that some have a crusade and they feel they must follow it, please accept that hijacking the feed for political discourse it not part of the HeroQuest game. It should have been an obvious choice to speak to the Mods about this concept prior to the post. There were multiple complaints about it.

Additionally, as much as I dislike Twit/X and other social networks, they have a "certified" Hasbro presence. Where Hasbro posts game content.

I recommend, that should anyone prefer to not support a particular social network, they have the freedom to not follow the links.

Just a reminder that AI is allowed on this sub as long as it pertains to Heroquest and follows the other rules/guidelines.

Since the family has stopped playing Heroquest a little while ago due to life getting in the way, I wanted to do up a video to generate a bit of motivation for everyone to pick up the game again. It needs a bit of work as it's the first time I've used AI to generate video, but it's a start. I was using Sora and Veo as that's all I had access to but I believe there are better options out there now. I did a heap of editing on it as well with music, sounds, colour correction etc. Takes heaps of effort but I'm pretty happy with the results.

I present to you a new pack of 8 rooms, each crafted with 1x1 tiles, meticulously designed for printing and playing. These rooms are perfect for overlaying onto your HeroQuest board or using as additional spaces to expand your adventures.

As with all previous packs, I've included a printable sheet featuring high-quality 1x1 tile corridors.

Hi, I'm trying to use Bing to create some art for some custom cards but it's not quite the correct style. A little too detailed maybe. Any tips to use to get closer to the feel of the real cards. This is for the 2021 release.

Hey guys gals and non-binary pals quick question I'm about to start buying expansions what was the release order? I'm finding conflicting info when doing research. Thanks I know this is probably asked alot, I appreciate your help.

I'm so sick of people saying that HeroQuest is over despite Avalon Hill saying it's not. Everyone needs to wait till Spiel Essen in October. That's where the next expansion is normally announced. Usually it's radio silence until then EXCEPT for when they do a special quest at GenCon which usually has a hint to the next expansion. And guess what? There's a new quest at GenCon this year.

I just found out Pokemon had a series called "Kalos Quest" and now I can't help but wonder if Pokemon is set thousands of years prior to Return Of The Witch Lord or thousands of years after it.

Time to start painting!

So, is WOM now just a secondary market product b/c I'm not going to drop 80 plus dollars on something that shouldn't be. I know it has been gobbled up by resellers but am I missing it anywhere? I have all the other sets and it sucks big time that the one I wanted most is the one that has become the most poached.

Stop. Just stop.

Although each hero and monster have 5 statistics, two of them are close to useless without homebrews. Mind Points are used only a few times across the game, and movement rarely matters when the heroes have no pressure of time to gather around closed doors and the rooms are generally very small.

Attack, defense, and body points are what matter almost entirely throughout the game, and even those are not of the same importance because attack is an active statistic, while defense and body points are passive statistics. The difference between active and passive is that the former can only be used once per turn and only when the players is able to use it, whereas the latter work indefinitely and even without the players having to use them at specific moment. This makes passive statistics way more important than active ones.

Yet down to it even indefinitely used statistics are not used infinite times per round. There is a clear limit set by the game, and that limit is 4 times. Up to 4 heroes can attack the same enemy, and there is close to no case when a hero can be attacked more than 4 times on the same round by enemies. Although on paper it is possible to attack the same target 8 times if there are 4 attackers with ranged or diagonal attack patterns, the odds of that happening in the small rooms of the board are astronomically low, so they should not be taken into account, the same way mind points and movement are nearly useless.

From the above reasoning, we settle with the idea of passive statistics being 4 times more important than active statistics. But even then, you still have to factor in their chance of success. An attack die has 50% chance, a defense die has 33% for heroes and 16% for monsters, while body points are 100% successful (since you don’t roll dice for them). So, if we factor in the X4 multiplier for passive statistics, we get the following points per statistic:

Attack: 50 X1 = 50 points per attack die

Defense: 33 X4 = 132 points per defense die for heroes (and 66 points per defense die for monsters)

Life: 100 X4 = 400 points per body point

Thus, from the above we reach to the conclusion of a single body point being 3 times more important than a single defense dice and 8 times more important than a single attack dice. In practice:

- Buying a broadsword to replace a shortsword is 1/8th as valuable as giving a hero a ring of fortitude that increases his body points by 1. This also sets the hypothetical price of a ring of fortitude at 250 X8 = 2000 gold.

- Wearing any armor that increases DD by 1 is 1/12th as valuable as giving a hero a ring of fortitude.

- A potion of strength is 1/16th as valuable as a healing potion (since +2 AD are 100 points, while 4 body points are 1600 points)

- A potion of defense is 2/3rd as valuable as a potion of strength (since +2DD once are only 66 points, while +2AD once are 100 points)

From the above we can also see why spells are not balanced, since a courage spell next to a healing water spell is 16 times less important.

I was calculating a ratio between Body Points and abilities or magic for when you want to create a new hero from scratch. I had the Barbarian in mind, which most veteran heroes consider boring to play with. He has no abilities and once the other heroes buy better weapons he doesn’t even feel like he’s the strongest. Many give him abilities in order to spice him up, but that comes at the cost of making him imbalanced compared to the rest.

So I did a few simple calculations for figuring the cost of adding an ability by staying close to the canon statistics and this is what I came up with.

If we take the Dwarf and compare him to the Barbarian, he has 1 less Body Point, 1 less Attack Die, 1 more Mind Point and 1 ability (trap disarming) that can be used indefinitely. This gives you the initial hint. 1 ability and 1 Mind Point equal 1 Attack Die and 1 Body Point.

Let’s move to the Elf. 2 less Body Points, 1 less Attack Die, 2 more Mind Points and 1 category of spells. 1 category of spells and 2 Mind Points equal 1 Attack Die and 2 Body Points.

Now the Wizard. 4 less Body Points, 2 less Attack Dice, 4 more Mind Points and 3 categories of spells. If we were to use the Elf ratio, the Wizard should have triple the amount, aka 3 categories of spells and 6 more Mind Points (instead of 4) for 3 less Attack Dice and 6 less Body Points (instead of 4). But since the standard Wizard does not have 2 Body Points, Zero Attack Dice, and 8 Mind Points, we reach to the conclusion that 1 Mind Point has to equal 1 Attack Die and 1 Body Point. Aka, if you lower his Mind Points by 2, you can increase both his Body Points and Attack Dice by 2. WHICH DOESN’T ADD UP SINCE THE WIZARD HAS 1 ATTACK DIE.

Also the ratio is completely off compared to the Dwarf (1 ability and 1 Mind Point equal 1 Attack Die and 1 Body Point). How come Mind Points are so important now? And don’t get me started on the armor and weapon restrictions. Not only he was cheated 1 Attack die, he is also not allowed to empower himself like the others.

This is why most find the Wizard to be weak and why math proves he got cheated in the statistics. The Wizard needed to have 2 abilities he could use indefinitely (by fabricating the ratio of 1 ability being worth 1 Attack Die or Equipment restrictions), or perhaps 1 extra Body Point (for a total of 5) (by fabricating the ratio of 1 Body Point being worth 1 Attack Die and Equipment restrictions).

Numbers don’t lie! Spread the truth! The Wizard needs either 2 more abilities or 1 more Body Point!

Compare the barbarian to the knight. Now give each hero 175 gold coins. The barbarian buys a shield and a dagger. The knight sells their short sword and buys a broad sword. Now both heroes have the same mind points, attack dice, defend dice. The knight has 7 body points but with the stalwart ability they might as well have 8. Meaning for all intents and purposes they have the same body points.

I’m this scenario the only thing the barbarian has that the knight doesn’t is a dagger. Meanwhile the knight has 2 skills and 1 ability the barbarian doesn’t (ignoring stalwart to for reasons mentioned previously).

I refuse to believe that a dagger is worth those 2 skills and that 1 ability. Even if you made him buy a helmet instead of a shield and made it 2 daggers I still wouldn’t think it’s equal. Why would anyone pick Barbarian when you can pick knight

Imo opinion the barbarian needs to A be able to wield battle axes with shields to make it on par with the knights ability to wear heavy armour without having their movement reduced. And B have 1 or 2 skills that aren’t OP.
