The more I look at options for room tiles and overlays, I'm wondering if it would be worth my while to just build a big empty board with a grid on it. The board would be the same space count as the original HeroQuest board.
On this I can place the corridor and room tiles as we explore. This way all the rooms and corridor parts are separate. This way I can still use all the adventures designed for the game, but have a clean dungeon layout. And especially nice, a clear board.
I am also thinking it can me coded, numbers on the top row with letters down the side. This way pre-programmed solo adventures can be played by referring to the space code and placing the right tile or figure for the adventure.
I'll have to think about this some more. It does open up the possibilities of using the area of the HeroQuest board, but have truly unlimited versatility. This would also limit the size of the dungeons to what will fit on the board.
If someone has already tried this, I haven't seen it.
I also might try converting some of the Decent adventures to HeroQuest format. I also have a cute idea for incorporating my Arthur figures, a Monty Python inspired adventures for each of the main characters, a Sir Robins quest to rescue his minstrels, King Arthurs quest for the Holy Grail, Sir Galahads quest to attack the fortress Anthrax, you get the idea, could be fun.
I can't wait to I get enough figures done to take a break and fiddle around with some games! JIM

Flint over at HQ Cooperation has done some of what you suggest. He has even rebuilt the board to be modular and redesigned the first 15 quests to match. You can find the images and description of it here: www.hq-cooperation.de/galerie/hq_modular/hqm_e.htmlThe downloads for it, if you want to print it out and try it yourself, are in the top two links here: www.hq-cooperation.de/english/download.htmlI have not played with the modular board, yet, but it should work like you want.

That's perfect. I can make a master board from my Worldworks Chunky Dungeons set.
Once I finish my 100th figure set I'll start some of these side projects. JIM

I had a lot of fun with Warhammer Quest - and still have my sets. The rules used to be available as a free download (by permission of GW) but it appears that they are gone now. So, let me add another to the list for WH Quest - The Museum, which once held those rules. The Auld Grump

I'd love to see some Heroquest figures! Although I haven't played in a while, I might have to dust off the old sets... Dewayne

Arkcaver, nice to see another from Arkansas. I live in Springdale, just north of Fayetteville. Am I correct (from your name and bat pic) that you like caving?
For Heroquest minis, check jarro's section in the Members Projects part of the forum

Awesome! I just recently did about 4 miles in Mammoth Cave (KY), tho I didn't get to do the wild cave tour Maybe another time. I did do the wild cave tour at Blanchard Springs (AR) a few years back, that was a blast. Do you just do local caves (meaning Arkansas), or do you travel out of state?

I've got some friends that just came back from a weeklong survey in Mammoth - they have been trying to get me to go for a while, but right now just isn't the right time. Maybe someday! ;D
