If anyone is looking for Black Plague, it's on sale at Amazon right now for $81.31 USD.

Disclaimer: I'm not advocating anything, I'm just curious what people think.

I'm coming down off the Zombicide Pirate Crowdfund (which is technically still ongoing) and I got thinking, would it make any sense for Avalon Hill to do Gamefound crowd funding for a future expansion?

Hasbro uses HasLab to do their own in-house crowd funding, but they also seem to be moving away from directly supporting AH, based on some comments they made on Discord about liking autonomy from Hasbro and the fact they pulled most of the HQ products from their website. So in theory, AH could use something like Gamefound, which seems to be very successful, to roll out a new expansion.

If they did so, I would expect them to offer discounted collections of older expansions, possibly re-print Rogue/Monk, as well as adding exclusive figures/quests/cards as stretch goals. Plus dice, 3D furniture (maybe as an upgrade to First Light buyers), monster packs and so on.

If AH ever did this, what would you like to see? Since we're dreaming, you can say Guardian Knights if you want :)

What would be some potential pros or cons to doing this do you think?

Wouldn't it be a lot of fun to discuss how much Artifacts should cost? You know, come up with reasonable pricing for heroes that want to buy something they missed or lost, or so that they could sell it at 50% to a shop?

Someone could suggest something and we could discuss it.

Totally just for fun, I'm not just looking for someone to do the work for me while I work on other homebrew ideas *wink wink*

I'll go first. Borin's Armor should be $1600, double what normal plate mail costs given the huge advantage of not losing the 1D6 on movement.

Ok, the truth is I keep running into situations where I'm like "Man, I wish I had a price list for artifacts!" Whether it's my Wizardless party looking to cash in on the Wizard only artifacts they found, or wanting to do a "Random Artifacts" table of low-value artifacts like Rabbit Boots or Magic Throwing Daggers.

The latest is I'm making a roll table that Zargon uses at the beginning of each quest to determine a quest event. One of these events will be a traveling merchant selling some scrolls, potions, and non-unique artifacts (all at inflated prices).

Anyway, it's time to put prices on all the artifacts (including scrolls). Anyone want to help out?

TL:DR = There's remastered versions of EVERY Official Quest from New Beginnings through the Core set, to the Forsaken Tunnels through Kellar's Keep, and finally on through Return of the Witch Lord! They are as similar to the originals as I could get, but completely re-worked so they are instead using the Caverns board from First Light! You can find them at the link above.

The Caverns Project:

You can read all about what it is and why I made it on the pages and in the dev log. The short version is I wanted more excuses to use the Caverns board and rather than picking and choosing what *I* thought would be good quests on that board, I decided to just do them all and let the Internet Zargons decide when to use the standard, and when to use the caverns board! I'll be the first to admit some of these conversions just do not work well in the caverns, but they're all here anyway, just in case you disagree or want to use one anyway.

My new group of Heroes just started New Beginnings and I haven't decided if they'll go through Core or FL at first. If they do Core, I'll use a mix of standard and these caverns quests.

But as they approach KK/RotWL, I'll probably be looking continue this project into PoT/SQT, then FH/JoD/AtOH, then MotM/RotDM/WoM/CoPD. If this project is wildly popular, I may move the timeline up, so if you want to see something, just ask.

Otherwise I'll go back to working on a few other things, including re-sized custom tile overlays for the larger sized play mats (both standard and cavern versions of every tile overlay!)

Still here? Wow... ok so...

What is the Board Game Keeper's Guild?

As some of you may know, I have a bazillion homebrew projects going at any one time, and not only for HeroQuest. I tried running a place where HQ Homebrewers (including me) could host their content for free and where I could brain dump everything I learned about the history of HQ (https://www.boardgame.quest). But I don't really like editing HTML, I'm not interested in learning WordPress, and who wants to keep updating a brain dump every time AH passes gas? Not I it turns out. The site is still up, but I'm not going to keep working on it.

I decided instead to post my content on itch.io. It seems the most flexible for all the different types of content I want to post, and allows for tipping if anyone feels so inclined. Tipping is to support and encourage me, not to pay for my content, which is always free.

I was going to wait a bit more before I started publishing, so I had a bunch of cool stuff for you all, but I've been sitting on the caverns thing for over a month now while I work on finishing up a few other projects (and madly sling paint at my pile of shame!). So rather than keeping it all under lock and key, I decided it was time to set it free.
