Hey everyone. So some of you know, in the countdown to the release of the Hasbro 2021 Remake, I decided to begin building my own little community and content outside of the forums... not as a rival or replacement here (how could anything do that for this place??), because I LOVE the Inn and the people here, and because the stuff we're doing just doesn't quite fit.
Discord Permalink ("Invite"):
https://discord.gg/2R9pEP4ctyYou don't have to be a fan of the new Remake, just being part of the Inn or a casual fan of HeroQuest or curious about it is fine too.
The idea is to share my thoughts more fully and have a place to interact with members of the community in real time (or near real time).
I've assembled some resources to shamelessly plug my stuff, but I'm interested in your stuff too, so I hope I'm not stepping on any toes by sharing it here. Others have helped me and I'm always open to constructive feedback.
HeroQuest Fans on Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/heroquestfans It's still a small channel and I need 50 followers before I can have the rights and privileges of an "affiliate." I try to stream at least once a week. My tentative schedule is Friday afternoon I do a HeroQuest discussion (I talk and use visual aides, and interact with chat based on who is there)... and Saturday is SUPPOSED to be for HeroQuest games, but we haven't yet reached the ability to do that, but will probably soon. I would like to be able to run a game there either live (someday) or a recording of a recent game where we can analyze and laugh about it.
A lot of it is me showing off my own creations, talking about recent developments in the community, and waxing nostalgic or sharing trivia. In any case, weekly content is shown here first.
HeroQuest Fans on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/XSC3/featuredSince I'm not yet an affiliate, that means I can't store videos (in full, only highlights) more than 14 days before they get deleted, so when I stream, I will upload it (with minimal edits) onto Youtube and it appears there within an hour or so the same night. I have an ever expanding playlist (may split it up as needed if it gets too unwieldy)

Discord server for HeroQuest Fans is here (the forum topic includes the latest invite link):
Discord: You're invited!I have run live games over Zoom during the pandemic, but I'm happy to learn how to do that over Discord if anyone finds that easier. I'm talking pointing the cameras at the board, rolling the dice in front of the camera, etc. (TableTop Simulator never really worked well for me) drawing cards with my document cam and tripod webcam.
I love how the Inn has inspired me (not leaving!), and I hope this can inspire you as well. Please join us! I don't spend much time on facebook anymore and social media tends to just annoy me, so this is what I do instead. Also, I like to talk/type a lot, but I want to hear other people's ideas too!
Not saying you
have to follow/sub, but I appreciate it if you do. I don't make any money off of this stuff, and that's not the point for me, it's growing the community and sharing the fun. We'd love to have you!
