- Hero Quest has been developed in collaboration by MB Games and Games Workshop, using the talents of games designers Jervis Johnson and Steve Baker, and artist John Blanche, plus the skill and creativity of the Citadel Miniatures designers to produce a unique boardgame.
Stephen Baker had made no mention of him in his Kaos interview, though Roger Ford, then vice president of research and development, was said by Baker to have been involved since the beginning. Ben Rathbone, who worked mainly on expansions, also was mentioned specifically by Baker as a contributor in this interview.
The art of John Blanche referred to in the Hero Quest preview can be found in the EU and AU editions, though it had already been produced and was re-purposed for the Rules of Play. Since Advanced Heroquest came out right on the heels of the EU Hero Quest release, perhaps some of Jervis Johnson's proto-AHQ ideas had similarly been re-purposed.
