This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Yeah... the boardgame still looks better.

Two D20s??? That should be a handful of d6s, thank you very much.

Actually, the RPG and the boardgame aren't even connected, as far as I can tell. HeroQuest RPG is tied to Runequest. Hero Quest the boardgame is based off of Warhammer.

Correct. Totally unrelated.

Quote from: Enlightened;769464BG, you should have gotten Other Worlds instead of HeroQuest.

Other Worlds is the same type of game but with much better mechanics.

Here's a thread where I made a bunch of character templates for Other Worlds.

:nods sagely:

HQ is one of those games where different people read different things into it. If you're coming at things from a storygamey, Holmesian perspective (after Mike Holmes), OW might be for you. If you're coming at things from a more GM-led, Lawsian perspective, possibly HQ2 would be more your cup of tea.

Personally I am a Holmesian all the way! :-)
Buy Other Worlds, it\'s a multi-genre storygame excuse for an RPG designed to wreck the hobby from within
