HeroQuest lost Quest Packs: Wizard and Dwarf Quest Pack

[Lothar]

This is perhaps the greatest historical discovery of the 21st century. It makes the Davinci Code look like a Hardy Boys mystery (the South Park version of them).

Ah but no new spells or exclusive items for the Wizard in these packs?

As for the "overpowered" nature of some things, judging by the extreme (nigh, broken) difficulty of the released EQP/BQP (including the solo quests!), I wouldn't be too upset if the heroes got a break now and then...

Background on the existing quests, including unused concepts and lore is also exciting to learn about. Thanks for sharing!

Not in the Dwarf, there are some cool things in the Wizard one. Still have to dig deeper, though. Phisically received them yesterday.

Armor/helm that adds defense dice and always rolls one white shield... how that sounds?

I agree with the developers on the Dwarf pack having minimum magic. Depending on how you look at it.
Example, as long it is Dwarven Rune Magic, "which isnt the same thing" according to Dwarves. They already exist in
one of the special quests from either one of the books or WD mini quests. Id have to dig mine out and look for it.

Also, sources say these documents went up for auction recently, and then went poof. So I am guessing
it was an offer that couldnt be refused to get them pulled, hehe

And some of those monsters have stats already as well, if they were not shown in any of the scribbles.

This should be a hot topic for a while, haha. Can topics be pinned in these forums?

Someone on here posted tests models from these lost quest packs awhile back - giant spider, ratman, minotaur, sabre tooth, dwarf female hero, etc. Will you remain faithful to these sculpts or design something new? I have the photos saved somewhere on my HD if you need them

This is a perfect example for a Dwarven Rune of Stone. Always grants 1 shield for defense.
And it is definitely ok to call it Dwarven Rune Magic, it existed in D&D long before WFRP came along.
As for history or lore, if there is anything you want to know, I pretty much have everything
for both old school AD&D and the original WFRP. And for that matter I have everything for the original Heroquest
and advanced Heroquest, to include White Dwarf magazines etc.

I can confirm the auctions and the offer that couldn't be refused. I'm italian after all! Had to stay awake 'till 5 in the morning for 3 days to make it happen. I was not sure what would be of them if someone else won. Apparently there were 2/3 buyers very interested in looking for a deal. Lucklily, with the buying and selling, I managed to build my HQ collection for a total of 0€, so I could throw some money on something like this.

We'll see: I think the sculpts were not much in the style of the originals, maybe we'll try to get something closer to the Eu releases in style, but yes, monsters will of course be the same. Ogres and Wizards were supposed to be the ATOH and WoM ones.

God bless you Italians.
You have the best food, best cars, best football, best women, and now, best of all, you are retrieving long-lost Heroquest for us.

As you can probably tell, I’m very happy about this.

2021 is a magical year for us, is it?
