I played Broadsword at Gen Con last year, and if an updated and expanded Hero Quest-ish experience is something you'd enjoy, you should give this a look.

I backed it.

    After watching that Heroquest video, I can't see this without thinking "Brode sode".

    Thanks, Casey G., I took a look. I respect what Alex is doing but I've kind of moved on. I transferred the images for Heroquest into Roll20 to play for myself personally, but never got around to it. I have a copy of Heroquest that I picked up a few years ago that I have played with my brother and nephew. Alex looks like he is taking the necessary steps to modernize it a little by giving you some slightly more choices than original Heroquest had for your action, while limiting it from a full paper-pencil RPG.

    The bottom line for me though is that this doesn't scratch the itch. I've grown up and I don't really have the need for something this tactical AND this light. I have all the D&D adventure system games that I'll use when my kids are a little older and ready which I think took the next step from Heroquest. Also I've now played Gloomhaven which is a much more interesting tactical puzzle of a game (if you can get past the immense box and contents).

    Best of luck to Alex with this project though.

    It's always a source of such immense joy when I see someone new come into the fold and link to that video, not knowing how intricately the two have been intertwined.

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
