The City of Heroes !

Hi guys, as you now I'm a tileset factory on my own :D The other day I had a wonderful idea when looking at the Heroquest board : Why not creating some overlays for the rooms to create a city ?

My idea is simple, I will create several overlays that will fit the four sections of rooms of the board, plus replacing the center room as a market place. In addition, I'll make single overlay for only one room (alchemist shop, armory, tavern, temple, etc) I will also create a lot of single tokens to represent house furnitures, town folks, horses, market shops, well, sewer entrance, etc.

Here is a few quick shots :

This gives you the general idea!

Example of the alchemist shop!

A quick try on a market place, note the well, the sewer entrance, boxes, barrels, tree.

i think the tavern should have a big layout like this. You may notice the latrine on the right bottom corner ;)

Finally, I think, we could create something like the rocks tiles to block the passages. I though about a shop in the market place, a city guard (maybe a Chaos warrior !), some crates or barrels... Let me know if you think of something else !

I think this will interest people who have created a set of house rules to improve Heroquest in something more advance as Dungeon and dragon, like me :D. This way, you will be able to play quest in cities and set a different kind of gameplay : intrigue, enquiries, stealing things in closed houses, etc !!

I hope some of you are interested ! ;)

I love it - I've always wanted an open town square tile
To cover the map's center room with.

That would be so much quicker for me. Ive done outside settings and bassically spent a lot of time on getting terrain pieces. It looked cool but it turned the enjoyment of the game into a stress sometimes. I would have to much to prepare and I was running out of days before game night. I like it.

Odd how great minds think alike. lately I have been thinking about how I would use the board for a small village and how I would set it up...

I migght be tempted to create some houses/shops that fit onto the board myself... Now to find the time... *sigh*

Well, I started to write a campaing long ago, where the heroes must explore an ancient ruined city to find the entrance to the witch lord's dungeon. The city consisted of four quartes, each one gameboard. I found the original board very fitting to represent this. The neutral grey tiles of the central room are perfect to represent a market place etc.
