Re: Guest Book
Posted: Monday February 14th, 2022 8:29pmHi All,
I just wanted to say hello and a huge thank you to all who contribute to this brilliant resource, I've been a casual browser of the site for many years now but have only recently decided to join. I was always amazed with just how popular Heroquest was and equally amazed by all the talented people out there that continue to share their skills on here, you're all great!
I was 12 when the base game first came out in 89, I'd never seen or played anything like it and I remember with fondness having some epic gaming days\nights with some close friends I have to this day. I absolutely love the game and even though it has literally been years since we've played it, I always look back on the game with fondness.
I've kept my unpainted collection which includes the base game, the advanced quest and all the of expansions which were available in the UK, I'd never even heard of "Mage of the mirror" or "the frozen horror" until years later when looking at this site and alas by that time couldn't justify spending the amounts being asked to get them.
Like so many I missed out on the crowdfunding of the Avalon Hill Heroquest, I'd been keeping an eye on the previous crowd funded effort for Heroquest 25th Anniversary by Gamezone but when I realised it was a remake and not a re-release which eventually fell through I just gave up on the idea of ever seeing the game see the light of day again, by the time I realised Avalon Hill Heroquest was happening it was too late so I've frustratingly missed out on the Mythic Tier which I'm not happy about. I know you don't need it to play the game but it's seriously annoying not to have the set and yes I could afford to pay the extortionate prices being charged on some auction websites but being married with children that is frankly money better spent elsewhere, I can only hope that Hasbro makes these sets available to the public at a later date, from what I've read there is a lot of demand! I have purchased the Avalon Hill Heroquest game and the two expansions so I've got something at least.
Anyway enough from me, again I just wanted to show my appreciation for everyone on here, we live in trying times and yet this game to me is ageless, my children have seen the unopened new boxes and have shown interest so I hope to be able to get a new generation playing here soon!

Fortunately I was able to buy a system and downloaded the DM app from Hasbro and have been replaying the main game with the expansion packs waiting in the wings. So glad to find you guys. Thanks for creating this site.
Lots of life changes in the intervening time. My HQ stuff had been packed away for over 10 years now. Got up on a Saturday morning a couple weeks ago & happened to be looking at the new HQ release on BGG (was aware over the holidays, didn't check it out, shame on me).
