Don't know. Maybe you can contact the author to this

Thank you for the map, good job!

Then, as far as I guess, is #29 the dark tower of Kaltrac? If yes, should such name be written in the map?

I was just looking at this post on Dave Morris blog and read the following text which may fit good in this topic:
Dave Morris wrote:I don't recall there being a Heroquest world at the time I wrote the first book, so I created part of one and drew my own map of it. By the time I was asked to write the second book, Games Workshop had designed their own version of the world, which included some of the place names from my novella but with a quite different geography "loosely based on the Warhammer world" as it said in the front. I just mention that because if you refer to the map from the second book while reading the first, you will see that the route the characters take makes no sense. One view at the time was, "Well, it's for ten-year-olds," but I can tell you that when I was ten that sort of thing would've annoyed the hell out of me.

Behold, a totally fake, totally non-canon map I've been working on, obviously based directly on previous work... (yes I just took the AHQ map and adjusted it for the remake)

Thanks! I'm glad you like it and I hope it helps.


Hey spooky, based on the work you have done, does this map align with the terrain you were working with?

I am wondering, is there a way to print this one out in sections?


You can actually download the image. Once you do that you should be able to crop it in an image editing program and print those sections out.


How you download the image? I don't see a way to r-click it or the .jpg in the browser download tools.

If we ever get serious about a Hero Quest Risk, this would be a great place to start: throw in the canonical names, make up or take a few from Warhammer, divide the map into terrifies and continents, I already got a list of factions that would be competing with special powers... Seems like it could be doable...
