Ye Olde Inn

Avalon Hill is famously anti-scalper. They are cool with this stuff being shared...

Sadly, some unscrupulous and greedy individuals are taking advantage of FOMO (as they do every year) trying to sell this stuff on Ebay (please report the sales).

I get it, someone will say they had to do this to fund their dog's surgery (sure...).

Thanks to the guy who scanned these. Keep in mind these are just PAPER.

Three items:

GenCon Poster (Bard advert on one side, "menu" on the other, just for fun)
GenCon GM Screen (covered in backwards text with a mysterious riddle and names of the CoPD quests usable as a makeshift GM screen with folding flaps)
GenCon "exclusive" quest ("Dread on the Horizon" a purported prequel quest "004" by Doug Hopkins and also new narrative designer Lindz for First Light... but with clues about Wizards of Morcar!) - 3 versions exist of this, one that is plain, one with errata fix from Doug in marker and another with a more humorous addition by Doug in marker!

Yes, the quest is a little satiny (almost as good as the paper in the quest booklet) but the "GM Screen" is very thing and easily bent cardstock. The "edges" can only be bent back and forth so many times before they rip (my friend's which he got autographed ripped the first day). These are just giveaways NOT meant to be fancy components equal to what you buy, so please keep that in mind. You could probably print it on sturdier material!

There were no "giveaway" dice or HQ dice of any kind (other than the black ones that came inside CoPD that was sold at the con WITHOUT any extras).

The Adventure Design Kit is identical to the one from last year except they had TONS of them this time (they shoved 12 of them into my hands on the last day just to get rid of them, and I'm giving them to fans, charging only shipping and I get the cheapest shipping I can! if someone can't afford shipping I'm not going to worry about it much) and the ink is GREEN instead of PURPLE and it says 2025 instead of 2024. Yes, the caverns board is on the reverse side just like last year.

Last year for those who remember they had very few of them so they gave them to influencers mostly before they rant out (sadly). We put up scans of those right away with their blessings.

The "Inn Flier" is just for fun, art by Rob and it has a somewhat satiny surface.

Remember these are NOT for re-sale! (duh)

Whoever scanned these on HeroQuestFans, he is certainly a CHAMP!

Scans of my own copies... yes, that's from Doug himself! SPOILERS obviously... but note the back... !

My scanner is small, so the edges don't fit... if anyone has a bigger scanner to get a better transfer, by me guest! I will have an opportunity to try on some better equipment starting Monday evening...

The GM screen actually is not too tall, just a bit too wide... so scanned it in segments. Again, I could try again next week unless someone has a better one.

Hopefully this helps until such time (if any) that Avalon Hill posts these up officially in high quality.

More scans... see if these are better (thanks Rob and Elvyler!) and they are combined front and back in the same file:

Michael at Avalon Hill just announced that they are planning to give away more of the GM screens at FLGS events and conventions like Essen Spiel!

(I like this guy!)

Call your local Wizards Play Network (WPN) store and ask them to participate in Avalon Hill Game Nights... (offer to help them run HeroQuest games!) and more SWAG can be given away at your FLGS!

Anybody hear anything from their local store, positive or negative?

Apparently word is that it isn't even just US stores this time...
