Re: Hunting the Unreleased Quests
Posted: December 16th, 2021, 8:58 pmWell the Wizard info will neither be late nor will it be early... it will arrive precisely when it is intended to. 
But the Dwarf stuff, no good excuse for that! (so you've got to toss it on here... but don't tell the elf) 
If the EQP and BQP are any indication we know what to expect... unless they were going a completely different direction. I see the female dwarf, so no surprise there. The two we got had 3 solo quests for the title character type (with ten total quests, the last ones being tied together as a two-parter), and a special artifact that raised their body points by 2 and their mind points by 1, as well as potions (and possibly some artifacts) only that character could use. The Elf had special spells only for him, so I'd imagine the Wizard would get that for himself (and perhaps we would have FINALLY gotten those "powerful magical items" he was encouraged ever since the Game System to wisely save his gold to afford!). Whether or not there would be mercenaries who can say, but obviously new miniatures would be in there, along with new tiles. I'd expect the difficulty to be much greater than ROTWL/KK. I'd expect new Treasure Cards and new Chaos Spells as well. Probably some type of Spell Scroll(s).
New Monsters and New Traps seem a given.
The Wizard is easy to imagine being enhanced with new magic and magical items and potions to beef him up. But what would the Dwarf get? He's a combat heavy like the Barbarian, but would anything happen to enhance his trap ability? I guess the sky is the limit, but I'd be really curious to see what they had in mind, because up till now we've only seen some sketches and some prototype miniatures (which I'm still grateful for).
