A tile for Heroquest Novels quest pack
Posted: April 30th, 2019, 10:49 am
Fellow Inn-mates, I am in need of a very specific tile for an exciting project I am working on at the moment; a solo quest pack based heavily on the official Heroquest Novels by Dave Morris.
There will be 12 quests altogether, and most of the work has already been done. However, 3 of the quests require a tile that doesn't exist yet and my computer skills are sadly lacking.
The tile needs to be 7x8 squares, with the left-hand tile edge (the 7 square side) showing a coastline. The remainder of the tile should be deep dark water. The tile will serve to double up as both an underground lake (think of the lagoon Gandalf and the Balrog fall into at the start of the Two Towers film), as well as the coastline of the Sea of Claws. I could have different two tiles but I want to cut down on the amount of work needed, and the printing required for people playing the quests. The whole tile needs to be pretty dark, as befitting an underground lake and/or a coastline at night-time. The Dave Morris adventures are quite spooky at times. There must be a small rowing boat tethered to the left-hand side of the tile, I.e. the shoreline edge, and bobbing about in the water in the 2nd or 3rd line of squares. There should also be a vague hint of a tentacled monster below the surface of the water, somewhere towards the right-hand edge of the tile.
In two of the quests the Hero will reach the coast and then row out into the water. In another quest after going underground below a haunted mansion they reach the shore of a cavernous lake and must row out.
I know this is quite a lot to ask for but I do think it'll be worth it given some of the great source material that hasn't really been tapped into yet. There are some free tiles on the main webpage by Ron Shirz and others that I will use if push comes to shove, but these aren't ideal.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!!
So to re-cap on requirements
- 7 x 8 tile (the 7 will be the left and right edges)
- Dark/night-time scene
- Left-hand edge is a shore/coastline (either pebbles, sand or rocks would be appropriate).
- Remainder of the tile is open water (some waves are ok but not too choppy as tile will also be used for underground lake).
- Small rowing boat attached to the left-hand shore.
- Vague hint of a tentacle sea monster on the right side of the tile.
Thanks
