Hello

Postby MichaelKruse » September 13th, 2014, 5:26 am

Hi guys and gals

I've been lurking for a while, so it's about time I say hi and thank you for this great forum - I've learned quite a lot from reading a load of all the posts here.

I got my game 25 years ago, and as game owner, I only tried playing one or two quests as a hero - and from there on I was Morcar (as I more or less learned the entire quest book by heart, which took the fun out of me as a hero). When Kellar's Keep came out, I got this expansion and played it a few times as well as Morcar. Then the game got lost in the back of a cupboard, and it was only this summer it came back out again, as I convinced my girlfriend to try it.

She's been controlling all four heroes through most of the base game quest book, and she does like the game - but as she is not good with all the surprises, traps and not being in control, we have reversed the roles, and I am now playing the heroes through the fine translation of "Rise Of The Chaos God" with her as Morcar.

Recently I managed to snatch a brand new English version of RotWK - and just this morning the mailwoman delivered my brand new English version of AtOH. I am so looking forward to taking the figures out of the sprues!

Anyways; Hi people!

Welcome on board.
Are you playing the mere Japanese translation or bastianbux's awesome localization? Either way I'm glad it's played.
Have fun posting and if not, have fun lurking.

Thank you

We're playing the version by bastianbux - with quest book and artifacts printed. I find it quite enjoyable to be the heroes instead of Morcar - having no idea what to find behind the next door and where to go on the board to solve the mission.

I will do my very best to post every once in a while...

Hello, with only the 2 off you playing you are missing out 1 major aspect of the game, discussing with other players what to do. HQ is so much better with a full group.

Welcome to the forum!

If you both like the role of player, the best thing to do is change roles after some quests.

And of course as mitchiemasha says, a group of 4+ people have a lot more fun.

Thank you for the welcomes!

I'm sure a bigger group would be awesome and make the game play even better. We will most likely eventually find some friends to join in but until then, we will continue our fights just the two of us (fightning this way is way more fun than in real life...).

Ain't THAT the truth! I'm glad to hear she didn't just give up on it after the first quest.

Welcome to the Inn, MichaelKruse. Though your girlfriend seems content with the original Hero figures, you should know some members make fine recasts of components. You may want to look into the female Barbarian and Elf figures from the highly-inflated US expansions if you like the sculpts. You can look them up in the Ye Olde Market forum.
