Oh man WHQ is so good I hope there is a reprint in the makes. I bought a copy last year around this time being a huge fan of HQ but never had played WHQ before that time. Since that time my girlfriend and I have got alot of use out of it. I have wanted to play with a heavier rpg side to it but since it is just me and her we just make the town rolls and continue dungeon crawling. Your sessions seem to be very rich and it is fun to see how you interpret the town encounters. I hope you do more since this is one of our favorite boardgames. WFRP is fantastic but not as action oriented as WHQ. Im with you on Descent being good in its own right but the flavor of WHQ is just too good.

Great stuff. Some of my friends were heavily into WQ, but I don’t think they aimed at any emotional depth – it was all about dungeoneering. My god, though, it was hard. The first time I played, the wizard kept summoning monsters every time he rolled for magic – in the end they were queuing round the entire dungeon waiting to get into the room we were in! Fantasy Soviet-style. The second time we were more successful, but the thing that really sticks in my mind is the Barbarian player declaring “I’m going to piss the door down.” And he did.

I inherited a pristine copy of WQ and some expansion packs and extra characters as my cut of a GW job lot that I helped sell on eBay. Going to have to break that beauty out one of these days.

Michael, Dunno if it’ll ever be reprinted. I’d imagine any reprint would be hugely expensive. I do prefer it to Descent, but Descent is a great game in its own right.

Skip, we’ll be looking at WHFRP 3rd next week.

D’ye think this’ll ever be reprinted? I’m curious about Descent, but WQ strikes me as a little more appealing.

PitFighter all the way, the only hero that you can make how you want by spending set points per level on attributes you wanted more than others. Extra attack 6 points, extra strength 4 points, weapon skill 2 points and so on. With only 8 points per level how do you spend them hmm?

Also the witchhunter wasn’t too bad. You could use faith tokens to add +1 to dice rolls. So it was possible to shoot a powerfull demon or necromancer, use your luck to reroll any misses then use your damage dice for wounding but add all your faith tokens to it to effectively one shot a real baddy. I loved this game.

I’m surprised you didn’t just move on to WFRP. May I ask why not? And any interest in WFRP 3rd edition?

Warhammer Quest was our staple game of choice for many years. I think I’ve still got all the extra rules culled from White Dwarf kicking around somewhere.
Half of the fun in Quest was between dungeons, having to stand up and sing sea shanties, or spending ages in the gambling house making money for your next level.
I’ve come over all nostalgic.

“I’m going to be writing up campaign reports for the site for two reasons….”

There is a THIRD reason… there are those of us who are fascinated by RPGs, but have NEVER played on — and WANT to do so. Your posts, reviews, and videos have inspired many decisions on my part and have opened my eyes to gaming worlds that I did not know existed. May this continue far into the future!

Welcome back… we missed your presence.
