BigJackBrass Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I've heard favourable comments made about the adventures included in the 2003 edition of HeroQuest, but haven't been able to find a copy of the book at a reasonable price. Does anyone know if the adventures have been reproduced elsewhere, preferably in PDF form? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I believe that HeroQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha was originally available in PDF form. So I would hope that it could be made available again at some point. As you say, it's worth having just for the adventures (which include a heroquest - Heavy Earth). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Tigers Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) There were 4 adventures in HeroQuest: • Physical Combat example: High Pressure Front, 5 pages • The Social World example: Chasing Kites, 8 pages • The Magical and Unpredictable World example: Fish Rain, 5pages • Heroquesting example: Heavy Earth, 3 pages And let's not forget Hero Wars adventures (2000): • Physical Combat example: The Hound Tower, 8 pages • Magical Combat Exemple: The Food Thief, 14 pages • Ritual MAgic Exemple: The Demon On The Red Grove, 12 pages • The Other Side example: The Grotto Of Despair, 18 pages Note: For french HW edition, we got instead an original one: Chaos Never Sleeps, 9 pages. + one another with the Screen: Sleeping Waters Awakening, 25 pages Edited July 28, 2017 by 7Tigers 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJackBrass Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 A PDF re-release may be a long time coming, which is a pity. It would be nice if they were collected and made available, but for now I'll keep looking for a cheap paperback. Thank you for replying.

Steve Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 @Rick Meints any chance that some of these older PDFs could be uploaded, assuming you still have them? I understand if you don't have the PDFs and would need to recreate them, but I imagine you already have HQ:RiG. Thanks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Cooper Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 @Steve A couple of questions (1) Would you expect these edited to be HQG instead of HQ1e? (2) Would you be willing to pay for them? I ask this mainly because (1) it would only make sense for Chaosium to upload it, if it was not going to confuse customers and (2) that implies editing time etc. which means Chaosium needs to get a return on the costs of doing that. Not saying it can't happen, but just trying to get a feel for the appetite for what we might have to do to make this happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm asking if the original PDFs could be uploaded for those books, assuming they already exist. I'm not expecting the rulebooks to be recreated if they don't already exist in PDF (though I think they do), and I don't expect any conversion to HQG. Yes, I would expect people to pay for them (it's unlikely I'd pay for the PDF myself, given that I already have hard copies). I'm not asking for any editing, conversion, etc, just a simple upload (if they exist) to the online Chaosium store. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
