Hey all,
I started posting on this forum today, so I thought I'd give a quick intro! I played the game for some time after it came out (in the Netherlands), including all expansions available here. I probably followed the opposite direction of many people - I learned about Advanced Heroquest through White Dwarf (which up to then I only used for painting tutorials and examples), and it included solo rules (I had no gaming group at the time), so I bought it, and played it a lot - it got me set on board gaming (beyond the basics) in general, and fantasy board gaming in particular. Only later did I learn from that same magazine of the existence of Heroquest, which was a much easier sell to my friends at the time.
Now I am introducing HQ into my gaming group again after many years of non-play (of HQ that is), so over the coming weeks/months/(hopefully) years I will be having lots of rules questions as well as asking for input on the many ideas for HQ floating around in my head.
