you still are missing a couple stand alone (semi official) quests:
The Rescue, Attack On The Sleep-Wizard, Slave City
Another thing, I highly recommend you adding "The Trial" somewhere. Either in stand alone quests, or give the option to players to choose their one first quest, like 1.0 or 1.1a, 1.1b.
Since you are making a complete pack, every single official and semi-official quest should be included.
You could also add the Japanese game system "Rise Of The Chaos God", since its also official material.

wallydubbs wrote:There's also 2 slight continuity errors (not yours) that you could fix:
1.) At the end of quest 14 you leave the note that all surviving heroes are awarded the title of "Champion" by the Emperor. The error here is that the Emperor is already out leading his forces against Morcar and then retreating to Karak Varn... he doesn't have the time to bestow such an honor onto the heroes. The whole point of going after the Witch Lord is to prevent an attack from the rear.
This is why, again, I'd suggest adding the Trial somewhere in the middle, possibly between Quests 7 and 8 (as there are 14 quests, right in the middle sounds right). It IS an official quest, and it would make more sense why the Emperor would send his Champions out to defeat Balur and have them retrieve the Star of the West.

2.) There may be a continuity error in the Epilogue, when it's revealed that the Witch Lord is still alive, itcsays he retreated to Black Fire Mountain... as this is one of the very few regions noted in Hero Quest (I believe this is also where the heroes fought and killed Balur). Yet in Return of the Witch Lord, the setting is moved to Kalos. So unless Kalos is a fallen city under Black Fire Mountain, there seems to be an error.


I'm very behind and just getting to this thread and reading through it, but I've tried to address some of these things in my altered Questbooks where I've made minor changes to the story to make it all fit as one long narrative and also fit in the Warhammer world. Feel free to check them out if you like at the link in my signature.

I have the Emperor awarding them the title of Champions after both Kellar's Keep and Return of the Witch Lord. I've also changed the epilogue to read "beyond" the Black Mountains for the Witch Lord.

As for The Trial, I have it as Quest 5, the first major boss battle and trial for Mentor's chosen heroes. I rearranged the quests just a bit, but to me it works great as Quest 5 because you slowly build up to it and meet all of the enemies in the Quests before it and have a better handle on how to deal with everything rather than just throwing you in the deep end. It's more fun, to me, to discover all of the different monsters on the way there.

Same experience as Hendar. I don't keep track of searches and find it doesn't matter the way HeroQuest is structured. One group quit because they searched three times in the first room and didn't get anything good. They never went beyond quest 1 lol. Good riddance though. Tough to please them.

Thank you, thank you!


Seriously though it is a bit demoralising, I thought I was nearly done with this. I have other projects I want to start! Ah well poco a poco.

Latest version:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ifha4rlh6azx3 ... 1.pdf?dl=0

Just The Rescue and Rise of the Chaos God left to add (I hope. If there are any published quests I have missed, please let me know!), then tidying up the layout and adding page numbers.

I took a wee break for the sake of my sanity, but back to work again.

DONE!

It is finally complete. It was way more work than I ever imagined.

I'm looking to get it printed in hardback. When it arrives I'll start a new thread as it is no longer a work in progress.
