Hero Quest 2021 Remake: Errata Compilation

[wallydubbs]

I noticed this too when playing, but I didn't actually go all the way to count tiles. The 4 square dinosaur bones in an adjacent room with the 4 square forest tile.

There are other mistakes in this quest book. I'm not gonna go back and search the booklet right now, but there are.s to be some quests with either missing doors or they tell you to go to the wrong quest.

Good catch, at least it wasn't just me.

Our JoD campaign is still in progress, we played them in this order so far:

Quest 1, 2, 4, 5, 7...

Jungles of Delthrak, a small errata... I am now convinced this is a mistake with regard for the tiles called for in a certain quest...

*Spoilers*

Quest #7 map (page 24)...

Note "B" Room calls for the 4 square "dinosaur bone" tile. This is colored in brown (implying it is meant to be the "sand" type of hindering terrain).
However, the previous room with note "C" calls for the four square forest/leafy (green) hindering terrain tile. The dinosaur bone image is the reverse side of the 4 square forest/leafy (green) hindering terrain tile and these rooms are adjacent to one another!

When you count up the forest/leafy (green) hindering tile squares in the box, there are 15 of them total. This quest uses all 15, however you can't actually display them all at the same time.

So you will run out of these proper hindering terrain tiles by the final room.

In my opinion this is a clear errata, difficult to be found if someone doesn't play the quest pack, but an errata anyway.

Good catch!

Kurgan has reported me a new errata he realized in Against the Ogre Horde remake's expansion during their playthroughs in HeroQuestFans channel on Twitch.

If playing Quest 7 map (questbook, page 32) exists a chance of running out of Closed Door models if Heroes circle the central room and discover the western passage. In that case Zargon player may need up to 7 closed door models, however the Game System box include just 5 models.

This errata is inherited from the European classic version of Against the Ogre Horde questbook, where the same issue existed in The Carrion Halls Quest.

It's likely something they missed in the playtest stage. Unlike Frozen Horror, which wasn't playtested at all and you're constantly running out of doors, I feel Ogre Hoard probably was playtested, but they likely didn't count closed doors specifically, but just as long as they had enough doors in general.

The set includes two additional doors. They are, of course, the “specialty” entry/exit doors, but one could use one in place of a normal door and just state that it’s normal, provided the quest with the error doesn’t specifically use these. (I haven’t yet played AtOH, so I’m not familiar with the particular quest. I’m also not familiar with FH yet.) Depending on what other packs one has, you will have some extra “specialty” doors to place if needed. KK, RotWL, TMitM, RotDM and JoD all have two speciality doors (and in some cases portculli).

Does Jungles of Delthrak? I don't seem to recall there being one.

Against the Ogre Hoard is probably one of the better quest packs. In terms of playabIlity it was very fun. There are no artifacts in this quest pack, which seems to be the only downside. But usually whenever the heroes find a Sorcerer's Bench I let them draw a random spell scroll.

Frozen Horror, is a nightmare. The difficulty and length of the quests can get boring. This pack was never playtested and it shows. The only useful artifact outside of this quest pack are the Spell Scrolls and Amulet of the North. Ring of Warmth, Am and of Ice & Snowshoes of Speed can't really be used outside of this quest pack.

[Kurgan]

Into the Northlands (PDF version) adds several new artifacts, but all but one of them are not very useful outside of Frozen Horror.

There are some errata already found exclusively in Spanish version of First Light (El Despertar), mainly bad translation topics:

Libro de Misiones, página 7, apartado "Hogar de sanación": De acuerdo al texto original en inglés, la regla realmente debería haberse descrito en español más claramente del siguiente modo: "Cuando un Héroe deba robar una carta de Tesoro en una Habitación que contenga una chimenea, en lugar de ello puede curarse un Punto Corporal".

Libro de Misiones, página 7, apartado "Almacenamiento astuto": De acuerdo al texto original en inglés, la regla realmente debería haberse descrito en español más claramente del siguiente modo: "El primer Héroe que deba robar una carta de Tesoro en una Habitación que contenga una alacena, en lugar de una, puede robar dos cartas de Tesoro. Resuelve las cartas en el orden en que se robaron.".

Carta de Hechizo de Terror "Command": El título del hechizo no ha sido traducido por error al español, que de acuerdo al mismo hechizo incluido en el Sistema de Juego original debería haberse titulado como "Dominación".
