I am now in Anderas Heroquest V3 and I can see no end. Maybe I want to see no end. My first try was too rpg-ish, too many options, too many rules that ended up not being used.

For some reason my reply never posted. I must of got lost amongst my ramblings!

Many creators will relate to your pains, myself included. We always add too much then strip it back.

Yes. Yes, indeed.

Second version was much simpler and I used many of the symbols from the font HQModern. After a time I found out that too many symbols are as annoying as the original texts.
In my V3 I have no symbols, more cards, a maximum compatibility with other people's stuff, and a simple gameplay. Now I miss and for the BP and MP, and for dice. So probably those will come back, along with very few others.

I make use of a wide variety of symbols from HQModern. I went through the effort to create them, so I might as well use them, you know?
To facilitate ease of reading, I then made a reference card which explains how to read the most common symbols (the Body and Mind point icons, different Dice and Melee vs Ranged attacks).
The rest of the icons, such as the various Spell Groups and the different types of Weapons and Armor, are mostly used to add flavor to the cards, rather than as textual shortcuts.
