Lestodante, It's official because I haven't changed anything Steve Baker wrote, unlike you have made with your work.

Everything the creator of Hero Quest told me, I've reported, without ANY changes of my own.

For me "official" is something that has been officially released and published by the company owning the copyrights of the game. Although it is a great quest, it was just a demonstrative quest to show the potential of the Adventure Design Kit and nothing more. Also, if you read the versions in other languages, they are different from the English version. So, which one of them is the official one?

I do not manage to understand your problem: the English image back the Adventure Design Kit is official, right? The answer that Steve Baker has sent me is official, right? (you know, he is the inventor of the game....).

I have ONLY join official materials, without ANY changes. The English quest is official, it is very simple to understand this thing.

Here it is:

Sure, that box is official and is featuring an incomplete quest on the rear.

No, it's not official until Hasbro/Avalon Hill publish it. Stephen has just suggested you the stats for the villain, while the room B note was modified by you 20 years ago (changing the teleport destination from room A to room C).
The real C note is still missing in my opinion. X letter was usually used to indicate a special point on the map, not standard A-B-C-D notes. I guess if Stephen wanted to teleport the Hero from room B to C he would have used an X instead of a C.

Lestodante, you are right. Unfortunatelly, for someone the Math is an opinion...(official+official=unofficial)
