About the adventure
HeroQuest is a classic adventure board game that invites players into a world of fantasy and peril. Designed for 2 to 7 players, this game is perfect for those who love dungeon crawling and a lighter role-playing experience. I will take on the role of the evil sorcerer Zargon, controlling the monsters and traps within the dungeon, while you'll play a brave hero: the Barbarian, the Dwarf, the Elf, the Wizard or one of many more. Together, you'll embark on quests filled with danger, treasure, and the thrill of the unknown. Set in a dark and mysterious world, HeroQuest’s theme revolves around epic battles against the forces of evil. The heroes must navigate through eerie dungeons, battling monsters, avoiding traps, and uncovering hidden treasures. Each quest is a unique adventure, with the game master revealing the dungeon piece by piece, creating a sense of suspense and excitement. The game’s rich narrative and immersive setting make every session a memorable experience. HeroQuest is all about collaborative storytelling and strategic combat. Players must work together, combining their unique abilities to overcome challenges and defeat powerful enemies. The game encourages teamwork and creative problem-solving, making it a great choice for both seasoned gamers and newcomers to the genre. Whether you’re casting spells, swinging swords, or disarming traps, every decision matters and can change the course of the adventure. In addition to the classic content, I’ve created a wealth of new original material to enhance your HeroQuest experience. This includes 3D rendered monsters that bring a new level of visual excitement to the game, new classes that offer fresh gameplay dynamics, and an easy-to-use interface that streamlines the gaming experience. These additions ensure that even long-time fans will find something new and exciting, while newcomers will appreciate the enhanced accessibility and depth. Gather your friends, choose your hero, and step into a world where bravery and cunning are your greatest allies. HeroQuest promises hours of thrilling gameplay and unforgettable moments.

About me
I’ve been a player and runner of roleplaying games for over 30 years. I fell in love with the hobby at a young age and have had the bug ever since. I’ve played so many different games over the years that it would almost be comical to list them all. I like to joke and have fun in my games and not be overly serious when it comes to playing. While there is a time and place for everything, and some things can definitely be too much or over the top when it comes to cracking jokes, I mainly focus on the fun of the games and making it an enjoyable experience for everyone involved. I enjoy creating homebrewed narratives and teaching others how to play any given game. I once ran and owned a tabletop game store for a few years in Austin TX and really enjoyed introducing new players from all walks of life to new games, as well as letting veteran players join in as well. We would have fun once a week and break up the constant work that running a game store demands. Plus, it was something I loved and made time to do. Running a store was a busy business after all. I am now freer with my schedule and would love to fill that time with the games I love with the like-minded people I enjoy sharing it with.
