I don't know if there's an official Roll20 module for HQ yet, but I created my own, using some simple dungeon mapping software to create maps to upload and then added tokens for the features. I have scans of all the cards, and created a rollable table for the combat die. Finally, for some colour, I got scans of the rooms in HQ and use them to make the maps more like they are being played on the HQ board.
I even created a few tutorials on how to play on Roll20 on my YouTube channel here. I would note that you can get away with playing HQ on Roll20 for free, as all the features to play are included, and most of the assets I used for Roll20 actually came from Ye Olde Inn.

As I understand, it's an application that simulates the HQ Game Master or Evil Wizard player, enabling one person (or a group) to play HQ with the board, pieces, cards, and dice without an actual Game Master player. The computer is the Game Master and it lets you know what you see when you open a door, or if you accidentally spring a trap, etc. I haven't actually played around with it yet, but it seems very intriguing since I can't always get a group together to play with.
There's also an editing feature which lets you edit quests or create your own quests.

I’ve used this several times and it works great. Only problem is there’s no way to incorporate custom rules.

Uhm that website. When did you last pay a visit to it? It's Hjortskov family tree and nothing else now.

lol Yeah it is. I downloaded it a few years ago. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone has that file around here though.
