knightkrawler's HeroQuest: Help and reviews needed.

I noticed. Will do that, definitely.

The following is an excerpt from my ruleset.
Attributes are listed in italics on cards under the titles and cross-referenced by other cards, e.g. spells.
The text here is about attributes that may be listed on equipment cards and those artefact cards that depict a weapon or an armor type.
For the example the text gives, the crossbow has '2 hands', 'wooden', 'metal' and 'ranged' as attributes.

So, is this clear or will I have to change something?
_______________________________________________________________________________________________-

Other Equipment Attributes
Weapons and shields are used either with one hand or with both hands. Which it is, is listed as an attribute ('1 hand' or '2 hands') beneath the card title. During each round you may only use two hands. 'Use' here means you may actually modify your stats and the rules by the effect of a card. Explicitly that means, you can only use two cards with the attribute '1 hand' or one card with the attribute '2 hands' during any given round. For example, during your turn you shoot your crossbow and during Morcar's next turn you are attacked by a monster. You cannot add the 1 die your shield lets you add to your Base Defend.

At any given point during a quest, you may only have one card in your deck that lists the attribute 'headgear', plus one card with the attribute 'armgear', plus one card with the attribute 'leggear', plus one card with the attribute 'body armor'.

The use of those keywords at the top of a card seems straightforward and clear enough to me. Too bad Hero Quest didn't adequately describe each equipment piece in relation to spells and such.

and thus considered a room if its background color is pure white and it contains at least one door or secret door.

A room could have a teleport or in fact only be accessible with Walk through rock. In other words, the current definition is too narrow.
Maybe just stick to the white/grey definition.

Can a room be accessable via walk through rock only? How would you get out again?

[knightkrawler]

You mean a room with white background, contents or no contents, but without any type of door? That's even more evil than I am as Morcar, because it is even findable only through Pass Through Rock.
- If there are contents important to the quest objective, there has to be a hint as to how they can find it. The heroes do not know that they need Pass through Rock. When a hero does, let him also find a Pass through Rock spell scroll to get out again.
- If the room is just empty it is nothing more or less than an instadeath trap or a deus ex machina to instigate the next quest where three heroes have to find the fourth. Talk about an evening where one player can't make it.

Can a room be accessable via walk through rock only? How would you get out again?

I created a room with almost exactly the same puzzle for the heroes to solve in this quest.
I included a door so the Heroes know there i a room there but they cannot open it because of the Stone Gargoyle.

Alternative ways out of a room like this include:

• Teleport Trap
• Spell scroll inside the room.
• Secret door that can only be found inside the room

These are just the first ones that come to mind. There are probably many more.

I agree fully. Having a door should not be a requirement in the classification of a room.

I have already changed that, cause I also agree. Thanks to GK's post, it now reads:
On the gameboard, rooms are framed white, the frames representing the walls. In any given quest, a room on the gameboard is only considered part of the current quest if its background color on the quest map is pure white. If its background color is dark grey, it is considered solid rock.
The classification is now simply the background color chosen by the quest writer.

You've made some changes to your first post that I missed.

A corridor section reaches from one corner or crossing to the next, always including all squares of corners and crossings that are in line of sight of the figure within the corridor section. Only However, in the corridor around the central room, each corridor section reaches from one corner to the next, unless it is seperated by a blocked square.

Always- unnecessary as it is implied

The next section of corrections had an issue with singular vs plural, or, at least, that is how it felt. Try however instead of only.
* edit * Or, if you prefer only, it could read:
Only in the corridor around the central room does each corridor section reaches from one corner to the next, unless it is seperated by a blocked square.

Multiple corridors in this sentence is redundant, and I added a few commas.

I assume you intend for Los in the outlying corridors to end at the crossing, and not reach from corner to corner if there are no blocks.
