Hello *waves*
So I've just posted a pretty long 'help wanted' post in another thread, and I thought, maybe I should introduce myself just a little bit.
Um...got HQ in 7th or 8th grade...played a bit with my younger brother, then put it in the closet and forgot about it. My husband will play with me now and again, but he's not as into rpgs as I am - not that I'm very into them either, it's just that they're my cup of tea. I usually play Zargon, since of the two of us I'm the one more interested, but he says he'd be willing to play Zargon sometime so I can play the Heroes and explore the dungeons. I get kinda frustrated when he forgets that attacking isn't the only action available to him on his turn. He rarely remembers to search for traps, treasures or secret doors, though he is getting better at searching for treasure, especially if there're treasure chests or other furniture in the room. *smacks forehead* I think he's just in it to attack the monsters, and sometimes I feel so sorry for him when his party is down to a couple of body points that my monsters don't really attack and move as intelligently as they can. Hey, I'm just happy I get to play the game.
Anyway, what was the point to my story...oh yeah... We're about halfway through the Main System quests and we enjoy it enough to play the expansion packs too, but not at the prices ebay's currently selling 'em. So I wandered onto this lovely site that has everything I need to play the games I never got in highschool. Oh and ... who was it?... Lurchbrick, right. I downloaded his fantastic video game of the original quest plus the first two expansions, which is awesome for me since, as previously mentioned, I never really get to play the hero parts. I didn't even know HQ had been made into a PC game way back when!
So yeah, I'm in the process of searching out compatible figures to play AtOH, WoM, BQP and EQP. DnD minis seem like a good fit and they're decently priced. I did get a bunch of skeletons, mummies, and zombies from ebay last weekend, also a fimir, and a couple of orcs and goblins, so I should be able to get right into KK and RotWL. And I bought a Battle Masters ogre yesterday and I think I'll be getting a few crossbowmen and imperial men-at-arms to be some of my mercenaries.
hmm... Man, can I ramble. I imagine you're all sick of me now, and would like me to shut up. Time to hit google again and see if I can't find the sizes for those darn dnd minis.
