I founded the Indie Game Reading Club in 2010. I've written and developed RPGs since the mid-90s, now I mostly talk about playing them.

I had HeroQuest and Warhammer Quest. Had to ditch some stuff for a move. Neither of these are particularly good as games. So I harvested and primed the minis for painting, and tossed the rest of the games.
I see this one going for $100+ at dealer halls now. I failed to anticipate the price people will pay for nostalgia.

I’m thinking it’s kind of perfect for a precocious six year old.

I finally reassembled my set after the minis had gotten scarfed for RPG play.

Dumd question: whats you best and worst board/rpg games?

john pascual I wouldn’t even know how to begin to answer that. I own hundreds of both!

I’m sitting on a near-complete copy myself. Think I’m missing an orc? Some of the minis are painted via nine year old Adam, too! Not sure how much someone would pay for nine year old me’s painting ability…
I also have a near-complete copy of Dragon Strike. Can’t find the VHS, though. 🙁

I had my original set and I found an incomplete set from Goodwill for $1.99. 🙂

The vhs part you can find on you tube. I had a vhs game and lostthe tape. Most was on there.

I tried my daughter and her cousin on this when they were 6yo and they both LOVED it.

I put a lot of energy into game thrifting at one point… that looks like a box with some expansions.

Another dumd question: have you heard (or played) of a (i guess rpg) board game that based on chess with the same pieces but 3-7 times bigger and the chess board have more of a background with stuff that can stop a players piece (IE: a knight cant go thur a river).

john pascual not a dumb question but that doesn’t ring a bell, sorry.

No problem. I thought you may know. I remember read about this board game from a old 1983 sci-fi magazine in gaming
Thats the game or the name? I tryed to find it all i remember was: it was reviewed by matthew j. Costello, now i found out he created the board game geek site. But count not find it

Ok, nevermind my last post. That is the chess board game..
Funny i thought the name was something like hellsfire or the raging battlefield.
And again thank you.

I’m pretty sure my minis are trashed from my early D&D painting days, but this is in my closet too and I dunno what to do with it.

Jonathan Perrine maybe we can combine into a single better set? I’m setting up to play now and the doors are pretty thrashed. Cards are okay, just old.

Paul Beakley yeah. Mine’s not in awesome shape either lol. This game needs a broken token obviously.

The details on my Chaos Warlock are diminished after a flawed paint job and too long a dip in Pine-Sol. Someday I want to replace him, but single figures for this game go for mercenary prices on the secondary market.
