Thantos, any chance you could give some sizes on the various pieces of furniture?

Lol Schmidt, lovely poem. An excellent lyrical opus :P

First post on the forum, so hello everyone.

I haven't backed the campaign yet. It looks good, but I'll have to work out how to blow my money between this and the imminent Red Box Games KS. I'd be in for the more low-key, historical-ish stuff, not so much the ornately evil bits.

On that note (and since I've been watching a lot of Time Team lately) I'll throw in a suggestion for some pottery. Big storage jars to mix in with the barrels and a variety of smaller pots, jugs and what not to add as detailing. Just do an image search for medieval pottery to get an idea of the sort of thing you could do.

Dunno if this has been asked before, but is there any reason for there just being the one door design? It works as a throwback to HQ, but some variation in the doors might be more appealing to people. I'd like to see the two square-topped ones (wooden and metal) from the HQ expansions, at least.

And I'll add a vote for doing plastic tiles as a seperate KS. Better to have two smaller and simpler campaigns than to risk complications.

Love that show. Bummed that I can't find the last two recent specials. It was sad to hear that Mick passed relatively recently but he's not the first. There was another regular and a recurring specialist who passed about 10 years ago I think?

And welcome

How would some training gear go with the weapons rack? Like an archery butt or some sword / spear target thing?

I really need to sit down and workout what gear interests me and fire up a pledge.

I'm in for enough to do a full HQ set, the traps, and a few goodies :)
Is it more than I wanted to spend? Yeah probably, and when it sets in that I won't actually see this stuff until next year I might be a little more miffed with myself but hey.. this is stuff I can and will use.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Is there a reason people like to get individual tiles? It seems to me that whole rooms would be way easier. Especially if you're trying to include walls.
The walls would only need to be built into the rooms. Use a spacer for when two rooms are touching.
This solves the problem of corridor vs room tiles needing to be different sizes. I also have a simple plan for corridor pieces needed to create the HeroQuest board.
■■ x8,

■■x4

■■x2

The remaining single wide straight sections are each divisible by 3, so I find it easy to just have a bunch of threes, but it can be whatever.

Best part. It came to me in the similitude of a dream:
It can be modular, or glued together into a three piece, interlocking board. The center room is separate (interchangeable boss rooms?) and the rest is simply divided down the middle, vertically.

* edit* interchangeable and reversable boss rooms!
