Quest Project - About 80% Complete

Postby Hero_Of_Retro » May 27th, 2013, 7:19 pm

Ok. So my quest project is almost completed, tomorrow after i get home from work i will start uploading a few missions and all the cards for scrutiny and hopefully i can receive some help and feedback on improving the overall Quest for all to enjoy when it finally gets completed. :D

Here's whats completed so far:

The Quests
i have 10 main quests, 6 side quests with-in the project completed. All details & Info have also been noted in a notepad on the laptop for each. Still need to finalize monster boss names and that. (I have around 6 main to go, and a few other things to do in the quests before i start play testing them.)

The Booklet
I am now re working the info and details as you would find in one of the quest expansion booklets. (Again.. not finished as everything is still pretty much needing finalized.)

Monster Cards
Through the story all basic monsters have more hit points. I am also attempting to create the Wizards of Morcar, Ogre's and doppelgangers of the main hero's. Around 20 in all. (Some of them i may have made far too strong.. but again.. will see in the play-test if this actually works out to be awesome or a fail.)

Treasure/Quest T. Cards, 1 new spell card for each variation
21 in all. They look terrible at the moment design wise but.. they do the job for now. :)

Tles
Around 22 of these have been completed. They just need the square outlines to be done. Sadly my experience on this is very limited. Though i have made the sizes very accurate :) These are just prototypes aswell. Still i think they will be ok for now. :)

So what would be the best way to show everyone these? I was thinking just uploading everything as i have done before on my FB Page, All in one folder, via one link, for the mission side.. should i just copy, paste the quest rules/details in the comment box in each of the picture of the actual quest? Hmm. Anyways. Thanks for looking. I will get the pictures/link up ASAP. :)

Righty thats them all completed. :)

To start: This will use every expansion but the US ones. (so far) Also some quests have 1x2 boards for the quests.. multiple exits, hidden exits to surprise loot, items and so on. 4 endings are planned depending on the route taken. Plenty of bosses, evil player may be very overpowered, but i have created this to be played right after all the expansions so you have all champions maxed out already. (Another reason to replay Hero Quest! Because why not. :P) :skeleton:

LINK TO ALBUM: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... 763&type=1

Project stuff in order:
1. The Cover
2. Quest Treasure Cards
3. Additional spell cards

4. The 1st 16 quest maps (i still need to paste the details of the mission and so on in. But dont know if i will have space)
5. Main villain monster cards. (They look bad.. i put 1 photo that is my reference to the style that i like to be similar, with a side note.. they probably would look more awesome with the eyes in blood red?) :D
6. New card Set - Loot corpse. Now this one im not too sure on. I thought of it to help balance the game out due to the body points and large amount of monsters in each quest.. but i need to do the play-testing once i get more completed to see if i should keep this or discard the set. :D
7. The tiles. I have named everything in the size i currently created them, fb seems to have blown most of them right up. :D

I will upload more as i get to them.. the monster ones at the moment are the ones i am trying to finish as i am using basically every miniature in the games and expansions minus the US expansions. :) Any feedback and help with this will be fantastic. :) And i will reply to any comments ASAP. :) Thank you.

Nice work! I've browsed your images, some typo's and pointers:
- I love the sepia images, but why didn't you sepia everything? The Oriaxe and Ragnorak (Ragnarok?) are in colour. So are the coins and potions.
- It's "coins" not coin's ;)
- LOVE the "nothing" card lol!
- Why not call the bad guys "the Shadow Elf" etc, instead of "Shadow: the Elf"? Just a thought. I think we could improve on the art there :) but a very original idea!
Check out my YouTube channel Boardgame Heaven, and drop me a sub please!

Thanks for the input. :D I will resort them to fix that. :) Some of the item cards without sepia i quickly uploaded to get some feedback. :) *shamed* :P I will redo those. :) The text i will sort through aswell. :) I was rushing through the titles of most of those cards, but yeah i love the Nothing card. Makes me laugh its just so random. :D Yeah i think the Main villains can do with the change. :) Was still trying to figure out what would be the best name to call them. :)

<<< THE WORLDS LAST GLEAMING >>>
---- QUEST PACK ----


STORY | Rough Outline. :gargoyle:

In his study reading from the Loretome, Mentor carefully examines the scripture's, and carefully, he watching over the strength of his enemy, but old age is beginning to consume him, time has taken it's toll and evil is left unmonitored in many places.. Although they are many Heroes and Champions who follow the eldar wizard, many grow weary of his declining condition and state, but still faithfully put their fate in his hands.

Mentor flick's the pages of the Loretome, while reading through the book, a sudden darkness dulls the room, the candles and fire extingish, he notices a deep black smoke fill the room and by the door of his study, it merges and forms the shape of men, using his magic's, Mentor fights this evil, the hideous black figure's in a state of flux repels the magic's and cover Mentor and the Loretome, with seconds to spare Mentor fires off a flare of to warn off an incoming assault and moments later the smoke completely envelopes both and moves off from the study..

Moments later, soldier's of the empire and heroes break down the door and realize the potential new danger that awaits them.. with the Loretome gone, and the fate of Mentor unknown, they now know the future is going to be full of doubt and uncertainty.

Standing in front of a large fire, Morcar ponders through his thoughts while the cracking and burning intensifies, surrounded by Orc's and Orge's, they lurch around the fire, carrying the bodies of slain men, as they are tossed into the fire, Morcar lifts up his hand to reveal a book of black arcane magic's.. Through so many defeats, victory still escapes. What can be brought from the darkness to help achieve victory? Reading from the book of shadows.. Reciting cryptic words, he reveals from his robes, vials of blood, from his former lieutenants and various slain hero's, walks towards the fire with anticipation and places them into the fire! As he watches the vials explode, he takes a few steps back and continues reciting... the fire turns black, Morcar smiles as the fire begins to take shapes of various nightmarish figures! The Orc's and Ogre's watch as these shadow's emerge.. engulfed in a black flame that never dies.. with eyes as red as rubies! Morcar stops his chanting as these shadows approach him and smiles as new quest for glory begins.. he begins talking to the figures of darkness, "Minions, from the ashes of slain hero's and from the blood of my murdered allies, i bring forth your power to destroy the Empire! As my lands have been over the watchful eye, i have conjured up new ally's to raise and bred armies hidden in the Middle Mountains in the north! You will watch over these forces until there strength is full and march them down onto the Empire! The Champions of these lands are strong and wise, you have been given through my magic's the potency to easily slaughter any who stand in your way!" Morcar look's back to his Doomguard and behind them, his massive army under the black banner from beyond the Sea Of Claws "Be ready. Soon.. We begin our domination of this land!" Morcar looks on to the East in the direction of the Empire and before him the distorting black smoke grows closer and surrounds Morcar, it dissipates revealing Mentor and the Loretome. He approaches Mentor and smiles.

_______________________________________________________________

The Empire have dispatched its forces around from The Moot to Talabheim, calling heroes to come from around the lands to aid in the search for the Mentor and the Loretome, and the defense. To the west, the armies of the black banner begin there assault! Beginning with Altdort, decimating all in their path, and flooding outwards throughout the Empire. Both armies meet between The River Stir and Talbec and battle it out! Meanwhile news and rumor from the North begin to emerge, Middenheim has also met the forces of Chaos with heavy casualties, whispers of another army growing in the nearby mountains have been received in Talabheim. The King of the Empire cannot spare any more soldiers based on rumor and have called for the Champions to return to investigate and slay any minions of Morcar that may lie.
_______________________________________________________________

Returning from various quests the Champions are given information on the events of the days gone by, and have many objectives to complete, where is Mentor? The loretome? What does the Middle Mountains hold? With time running out and no guide to lead the Empire to victory, the only hope to ensure their survival is to return their guide quickly and safely!
_______________________________________________________________

The champions begin there adventure in the bowels of Talabheim into the old underground passages, orc scouts are in abundance and they waste no time in slaying the minions.. following the disturbances they are led into an old catacomb that leads into the mountains... The adventure begins here.
