OpenQuest : Teaser

OpenQuest will be a free set of rules based on Heroquest. Its main purpose is to play on an open continuous board without squares.
It is also introducing new rules to integrate various figures from other games thanks to a character creation system.

New display : permanent pages

I have split the permanent page into 5 different pages :

• Resources : links to Dice Fo Heroquest application, new character sheet
• Heroes : Soldier, Bowman and Bretonnian Knight
• Men-at-arm : featuring only the Musician
• Monsters : Dar-Elves and Lizardmen
• Quests : All the quest and campaigns I have made so far

You can subscribe to my Blog by entering your mail address on the right bar of the main page

New Hero : The Bretonnian Knight

Today I'm introducing a new Hero : The Bretonnian Knight. A slow but powerful hero for the players. I'm sorry for the French version but my kids aren't so good at English for now.

It will be my last custom figure for a while because I'm about to start working on a new project related to HeroQuest. Stay tuned (for this purpose you can subscribe to this Blog)...

Another Dark-Elf : the Crossbowman

Here is the third Dark-Elf, the Crossbowman :

New monsters : Dark elves

Today I'm releasing two new monsters : a dark-elf soldier and a dark-elf spearman :
