JonL Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I'll be running three HeroQuest games at Gen Con this August. Two will be set in Glorantha, and one will be a supers game. As they were late additions to Chaosium's programming, they only hit the catalog the night before registration opened, and as such they are wide open for players even after the big rush. I hope to see you there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonL Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Well, that was quick. As of this writing, the two Glorantha games are full, but there are three seats still open for the HQ2 supers game. Thanks, all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go on folks, sign up if you are going to be at GenCon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankcam Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) HQ Supers sounds really cool!

Steve Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 The HQ ruleset must be ideal for supers. Sounds fab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using the framework I posted last year for characters, and will have some ready to go Sidekick, Community, Ally, and Enemy (Flaw) options specific to the setting on hand-out index cards for anyone making new characters or customizing the pre-gem ones. I'm tweaking the Group Contest rules slightly to incentivize switching foes mid-battle and assisting/augmenting teammates somewhat - as that's very de genre for comic-books. We're also going to use the Flaw/Ability-polymorphism and Flaws as Heropoint Generators options put forth in Nameless Streets. 19 hours ago, Runeblogger said: What are the Gloranthan ones about? The (currently full) HQG games will be the "Red Moon Rising" scenario from Pavis - Gateway to Adventure and the debut of a new Red Cow scenario from The Eleven Lights. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soltakss Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I have run SuperHeroQuest several times at conventions and I think it has gone really well. HeroQuest works well for Supers, especially HQ1. 2 Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982. Many Systems, One Family.

JonL Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) I could see using HQ1 if you wanted the sort of game where you have more quantitative and granular measures for strengths, speed, etc. I think HQ2 is better if you want to follow more Comic Book Logic where The Flash doesn't effortlessly defeat guys like Captains Cold & Boomerang. Both approaches have merit. Edited June 1, 2017 by JonL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankcam Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) I have always preferred RuneQuest for Glorantha, just personal taste I guess. But for a Pulp Action, Crime Investigation, or Super Heroes game I think HQ would be absolutely PERFECT. So jealous !!!
