@Tfmonkey convinced me. I just bought HeroQuest for $50 brand new. Looking forward to playing!
Guys, if you have a moment, instead of watching tons of tv or playing videogames nonstop this summer, take a chance and try something new. Go to the library. I've been learning how to care for cows, learning Russian through Memrise, playing bass, & took a $5 4-session fencing class for beginners.
*Side note -- dueling a left-handed swordsman is completely different than a southpaw boxer. It's freaky!
@RoninGrey I just got the new expansion and I have to redo some of my homebrew materials to incorporate the new stuff.
The base set is great and you don't need to paint it if you're not into it. The minis hold up on their own.
If you want any help with homebrew, I'll share my resources.
@RoninGrey Here's a quick conversion guide for D&D
Strength = Attack Dice
Dexterity, Initiative = Movement
HP, Constitution = Body Points
Armor Class = Defend Dice
Intelligence, Wisdom = Mind Points
Saving throws are basically just roll 2D6 and you succeed on a 5 or 6.
