Hello Ash, do you play the trial with new heroes? Starting the game with my son soon and I remember EU version was fine somehow but is it too hard as first experience with US version ?(2021)
One does play the trial with new heroes, but these days you can look for Hasbro's quests "New Beginnings" or "Rogar's Hall" and use those as introductory quests instead. There are a lot of house rules you can make up to help out younger players as well, for example letting him roll to see if he successfully can peek through a keyhole to see inside a room before opening a door. Just get fun with it!
So great :D
As far as the dice in a bottle go, I bought a different brand of olive oil than I usually do because it came in a glass flask perfect for adding d6's into. Clean the bottle, add a cork from a wine bottle, and done. I have about 60 10mm d6 in it and it's about half full. This kit is something I'd buy my niece's daughter as she'd love it and doesn't live with me so I wouldn't have to pick up the mess.
Love it, thank you for doing what you do!
Keep on thinking outside the "Heroquest Box".😊
Yeah something is wrong with your crystal meth
Wow lady on ". " Mushroom lol is sooo9oooo suspect lol
Genius healing potion idea!
The lid with the fairy circle needs a 1"X1" grid drawing on it in permanent marker...
The whip, the silver whip and the cool WHip....
Fantastic. I definitly gonna get myself one of these. 🔥
Lol u donkey longed the shit out of hq I love it
I love these maps. I have a few and I've been eyeing this one for our HQ campaign. It reminds me of the Feerott from EverQuest, so naturally I want to pair this map with the lizard people from the Epic Encounter minis from Steamforged Games.
If you're heroes don't question your sanity as a quest builder and as a friend,are they even heroes?
Musk buying Hasbro would be the end of the D&D brand. His incel cultists never liked tabletop RPGs, they wont start buying them even he changes D&D into F.A.T.A.L. with AI DMs and microtransactions. On the other hand, the D&D community is not survivable without women and queer people. Musk will see and trash the D&D brand. Luckily he can't touch existing OGLs or steal books from our shelves.
Very pretty. One thing, I guess I have this stubborn idea about HeroQuest boards/tiles, is that the squares should be incorporated into the design itself... rather than just a grid being overlaid onto a piece of artwork. All of HeroQuest up to a certain point followed that rule to me, though you can see a deviation from it in the original version of ATOH (some pieces just look like they slammed a black grid over the top of some art). I get it, in the case of ATOH it would be a little tricker to do (maybe use tufts of grass or little rocks to create the grid like in some instances of Blood Bowl?). The "outdoor area" in that quest pack doesn't even really need squares (but they are there if you want them) since it's basically a giant space area. The basic grid overlay works for other games but classic HeroQuest art set a higher bar for my expectations. That said, would I turn down playing on something that looks that cool? heck no, and great job to the one who put it together. thanks for sharing!
The map itself seems pretty nice, I just wish the lines were a little less visible. It muddles some of the finer details (to my eyes, at least). Nice video as always
This looks amazing! I do wish that they maintained the grid exactly, so I could migrate quests onto the map 1:1, but still very cool for homebrews. Avalon Hill should do a box of just alternate boards with a tropical jungle, lush forest, dark cavern, icy mountaintop, barren desert, etc. That would be a missed opportunity for them to skip out.
Very cool!
As always, great video and product review! Only wish they had the same map, but without the pyramid as it can make a perfect JoD map.
Just bought it, thank you so much for the recommendation!
No, he never played any RPG or TTRPG or even attended a Con. Stuff is toys to him. What a joke. Can't even save kids in a cave. Tesla, deathtraps and does not care.
Another good tip is, when you playtest your quest, cheat! Do everything possible to break your quest or skip large chunks. Players will do things you won't think of, so do your best to stop thinking like you, and start thinking like them.
That is actually a great point I never considered. Cheat, just like those dirty heroes 😆 (or pull a fellow hero in to help you think of ways to break it!)
The murder mystery rule makes me want to play a clue game with the HQ board and furniture with some kind of revised search function.
I love the new Avalon Hill edition of this game (lost my old game in a move years ago sadly), and this video convinced me to get the Ogre Horde expansion as my first expansion for it. The ogres look so funny and cute, the skeleton archers look awesome, and it's lovely that we get a new class added to the game as well! My box is on its way as we speak! I'm hyped!
Just ordered a copy....here in the Uk posting is under a £5.....sweet
I ordered a print copy from DriveThru RPG!
Does the advice given for designing side quests work for designing main quests?
For the most part, yes. It gives a lot of details about designing full quests too.
I'll purchase it. Thank you Amalgamash
Thank you for the amazing review. I had a ton of fun writing it and laying out the book.
I too was hoping for some balanced discourse on what the future could bring and instead got a bunch of weak cheap shots on a celebrity's public foibles. I expected better and was disappointed. You can of course do whatever you like with your videos and channel, but my vote is for less casting stones in hopes of a sympathetic chuckle. You're better than this.
Totally respect the feedback.
The more I think about it, the more I see homebrews and unofficial guides pop up online, the more I learn about how easy it is to produce custom 3D sculpts of new (and classic) characters, the more I think Avalon Hill would be wise to produce a new version of the "Adventure Design Kit" with new board, tiles, a host of new minis, and some kind of software for printing your own custom cards and quest maps.
You've sold me on this book. I also think, Ash, that you'd like One-Shot Dungeon, a solo rpg game that's fast, easy to learn, and super fun, I play it all the time when not HeroQuesting!
I’m tired of seeing this guy’s name every day for the past 10 years.
It'd Be Cool If This Became A Video Game Where Your Character Meets The Vestige Midway Through Story Like A Sidequest That Involves Molag Bal
Good. I hope he does.
Could he? Yes. Will he? Probably not. Musk is just using (the threat of) his money to bully people. If I lived in the US, I'd be far more worried about the proposed deconstruction of the US civil service and academia.
Modular linkable tiles, like Advanced HQ or Space Hulk use would give us endless options. Random corridor/dungeon generation is very cool IMO. 'Home distilled' could be a term a step or 2 up from home brewed
WOKE BEYOND A JOKE. Its fantasy, FANTASY!
Their tails won't stay stuck to their arse, regardless of what glue I use.
Will gel superglue work? I've had a lot of success using it where regular CA fails.
@AshQuest it probably would. I used normal super glue and once it had set it was ok for a while but the bond wasn't very strong. Saying that I was having a bit of trouble getting one to set quickly so used some baking powder and that one seems to be a lot stronger. On the ones that were failing, I've now put the tails up so that they're touching the lower back and added a drop of glue there as well.
You're right. It's like separating the Art from the Artist.
Elon buying GW might actually make it LESS proifit-focused!
And make more of the rightwing stuff.
Fortunately Hero Quest has flown under the radar (so far).
Elon buying hasbro would be awesome! No more woke shit and race/gender swapping the OG heroes from heroquest.
I assume this is moronic satire
@@AshQuest You assume wrong. Nothing moronic about wanting a remake of a beloved game from my childhood to be a faithfull representation of the original, especially the cover art on the box. A black dwarf... ridiculous.
I'm still not convinced. The flaw in the joke is that the release couldn't hage possibly been faithful from the start without being from GW. Would have almost been funny if not for the blatant, unapologetic racism. Good try though.
@@AshQuest This is a fine example of everything that's wrong with modern media. A potential customer makes a complaint & expresses what he wants & what does he receive for it? A condescending response & accusation of racism. Most people are never going to accept inclusivity over everything. They will tolerate the ideology for a long time but when they leave, they are gone.
@Mind_of_MATT you literally just said "black dwarf ridiculous" how is that not in any way racist. Should there also not be women heroes either? That's the only way I can see it being called 'woke' is that it's inclusive of non white males.
I thought this was going to be satire, but shit, this is actually a thing that could happen?!
those of you on X, let him know what you want for HeroQuest. if it were to happen, what would you want? couldn't hurt. be our ambassadors there. I think HQ is on the right track, they're listening to the fans, they have people who care, and while they are doing what they can, they could use a little more help with maintaining their App, keeping the PDFs of the quest books up to date, and managing their discord. also, WOTC needs more Grognards on their board. again, it couldn't hurt.
A respectably civil take on the pro-buy side. While I think it is quite unknowable what the effects of a Muskover would entail, and admit our HeroQuests may be very different indeed, I can say this would be a favorable outcome, if AH weren't already up to the task and constantly working. "Be our ambassadors" should definitely also be taken to mean: Let him know if you'd rather him not touch anything HQ!
So far AH has done a good job of keeping HQ out of politics. WOTC has been another story with D&D & that's primarily why it's cought Elon's attention. Weather Elon takes over or not, I want HQ to simply focus on what fans want.
@@AshQuest anytime
Its one thing to understand things in the past are wrong, its another to judge to past by todays morality.
Gygax and company werent ever supporting these things. They based them off of historical president. "Fighting men" was historically accurate. Slavery a commercial translation? Historically accurate.
God I hope he does.
Ash, you really don’t know enough about the issues involved in D&D to cover it here. And you talked too much about your personal political beliefs. And like it or not, Musk counts as political now. Please don’t bring this up again. All I want is HQ content and coverage without any political content whatsoever. I’m sick and tired of hearing it on almost every other channel. Really just tired of all of it from both sides.
I would suggest not clicking on the video that has the title and thumbnail that shows clearly what the video is about, if the subject matter is not to your liking.
@ I mistakenly thought you would present the information in a politically neutral manner. The title told me nothing about the political content. If I knew what you were actually going to handle the topic, I actually wouldn’t have watched it. So you are not the victim here. Look, can you please just stay on topic covering HQ. Leave the politics for another channel. ✌️
Not claiming to be a victim of anything, just curious what wasn't necessarily neutral about it, and kind of baffled at the thought that I should accept I've spoken "too much" about anything. Where is the line drawn when the point of the video is "anything could happen, we don't know"? If you were inherently insistent on his acquisition being a good thing, and were disappointed to find that I don't think that's objectionably the case but rather something that remains to be seen, then we can disagree - that's fine -- but suggestions to limit when and how I broach a subject pertinent to the very subject ject matter of the channel can and will be ineffectual; besides, that the thumbnail and title had Musk at all, whom you insist is political, should be enough to construe sufficient warning imho. Lots of other vids to watch on the channel and many more to come, I'd offer you to watch those. Failing that, there are hopefully sufficient other channels that can provide what you prefer to see.
@@AshQuest honestly I liked the change of pace. I watch all your videos and I feel like you took a very middle of the road approach to this topic. I know some people are sick of hearing about politics but politics is down stream from culture and like it or not nerdy stuff like Heroquest are a part of culture. I'm not going to tell you what to do with your channel Ash just make whatever videos you want to make and I will just choose to watch them or not (most likely will watch them. Lol)
Ok, currently Hasbro is crashing and burning. When they go bankrupt, we definitely won’t be getting new expansions. If nothing radical happens, HQ Official dies. If Musk buys Hasbro, at least we have a chance for more HQ content.
Could be possible new HQ wouldnt do much better either. I know Musk wants a lot of AI generated content so that does nothing for a human touch on things and what about quality testing, etc? Id rather see real people involved. People already hate posted against the original First Light ai box cover, cant imagine if everything started getting made with AI.
@@lorwynmoontide That was a prototype of the box. Retail has human art.
FL's box was going to be AI, that was going to retail, not a prototype. It was finally reneged after persistent fan criticism. I have a video or two on the story. They defended it and all after the first wave of complaints.
