Is it a joke ?

You mean this one?

That one's 404. Hmm, why? It shouldn't be. Let me try it …



I literally just went and got the PDF and copied its URL. It should work. See, this is the kind of weirdness I hope to not have in future.

Adventure Design Kit is the name of the product, "Plague of Zombies" was a picture of a sample quest (unfinished) on the back cover, that some fans on here completed (and it's shared up on Phoenix's page as well). Not really an official quest, but more complete than other "back of the box" quest reconstructions.

Having a re-designed (and larger) character sheet pad was a fine idea, and a quick refresher with tips on making quests, and an easy sticker sheet were all great ideas. As a kid if I had seen this in the story for cheap next to the HeroQuest display I'd probably have wanted it (if it was cheaper than a stack of photocopies and a pencil). We made our own quests in the US perfectly fine without the guide.

I'm shocked they didn't release any painting guide, but I guess they figured people would subscribe to White Dwarf magazine or buy the Warhammer painting guide if they were really that serious about it. We didn't get anything like that here and those elite game shops when I was a kid in the late 80's, early 90's might as well have been on the moon. If I had even heard of such places, that's where old guys bought model trains or baseball cards, not where I could expand my cool board game toy.

Without doubt THE best box art of the whole collection!

Ahh, that's why. Note the z vs Z in zombies.

Yeah, I'll be fixing that. Should be a lowercase z and isn't, but I'll want to make both work for SEO reasons, since both have been used in the past. A web mage's work is never done.

This wasn't even released in Italy...

The pic is missleading.
The item was called 'Adventure Design Kit"
It's box featured the above picture, but wasn't called Plague of the Zombies.
That was a half made Quest pictured on the BACK of the box, as an example of how to use the kit.
The Quest was completed on this site by someone, and is a very good Quest, but I'm biased as I love Zombies!!!!!!

Yes, I was referring to the ADVENTURE DESIGN KIT, it wasn't released in Italy.
