HeroQuest lost Quest Packs: Wizard and Dwarf Quest Pack

[Kurgan]

My post above sounded cynical maybe a little "cold" it wasn't meant to be. The "hints" and lack of details I find more annoying than helpful from Hasbro's marketing department.

The issues with BQP are solely to do with gameplay, its broken level of difficulty (including some omissions that would have made the game more fun) from a clear lack of play-testing. If they fix that (ex: by providing list of suggested fixes, that is, an errata in the box) then that'll be fine.

Yeah agreed

[Kurgan]

Would it be too early to get some estimates on how many pages are left to be scanned (or percentages) and rough estimates for when that would be completed, Luca?

Also, any word on other pieces that might be out there that weren't part of the main haul?

Hey Kurgan, scanning is complete for the 4 packs as of now. Multiple backups made too!
We’re still waiting to get a private section to start sharing the relevant material.

Good to hear. Any idea of the time frame?

Dante might know something more about that. I know we were waiting on drathe to create it, but his presence is erratic therefore it’s not easy to have a set time frame.
Work is continuing behind the scenes on different parts of the game.
I also should have some more free time starting next week, so I’ll work on the questbook so that we’re ready to playtest it as soon as we define these game mechanics while we finish design on the art.
We’re sorry we’re not moving faster, but we wanted to use the Inn as a platform and can’t do more to speed things up.

[Kurgan]

Not that I wouldn't (as most of us would) love to see it hosted at the Inn, but do you have a backup plan?

[lestodante]

I sent a private message to both drathe and Phoenix almost a month ago but they didn't reply yet, although the messages is shown as read.
Daedalus also contacted them few days later and today I sent another message in the hope they will give a feedback.
About the new Barbarian questpack release, I would prefer to not go off topic here, so to go back on topic I'm sharing a picture revealing a small detail of one the preliminary sketches for the cover artwork and a 1x1 key tile, just for those wondering about what we are doing behind the scenes.

Well, part of the backup plan would be to just plain post here (which in part we started doing with the traps discussion). As for getting a new platform, we can come up with lots of options (FB group, Telegram, moving to another forum, Discord, you name it), but most would inevitably leave someone out. We feel we wouldn’t want to miss on any of the active members here. Of course we’ll have to come up with something if we don’t get an answer.

[Kurgan]

Yeah, I hear that. We have something special here with this community and so hopefully they will respond soon.

Could you just get an FTP or something in the meantime?

PS: Cool pics!

[lucapaschi]

It’s not much a matter of sharing, I can just do a .zip file and upload it somewhere for anyone interested to download, it’s more about having a place to share ideas and discuss. Consider we’re scattered all over the globe, a forum does seem like a good option. I can see if I can open one on my website…

I've lurked the inn for a few years now and only just returned today after a long leave of absence and came across this gem of a thread. I own the Barbarian and Elf quests and always wondered about the Dwarf and Wizard packs, so this was a delight to come across. I am an illustrator and graphic designer and can easily replicate the art style present on spell / item / artifact cards and can also make an attempt at creating painted box covers for both of these expansions as you guys progress further into your recreation.
