HeroQuest: Prophecy of Telor Quest & Plot Review | FULL SPOILERS | For Zargon Players Only 

These Zargon focused quest breakdowns are absolutely **fantastic**. They really help get the creative ideas flowing!

It’s a really good point about traps in odd places. Me & my family have added a house rule that specific items you want to search like treasure chests and furniture you need to be standing next to it.

7:11 The bowing skeletons was an amazing moment at our table. Shouts of disbelief and confused looks everywhere. Top 10 moments in our entire HQ campaign thus far for sure 🤘

Another fantastic HEROQUEST video. I really enjoy hearing about your experiences and critique on each of the levels in the campaign. I’d personally love to hear your take on each level from the original campaign, Kellars Keep & Return of the Witch Lord. Either way keep up the good work. 👍🏻

In quest 11: You can always replace the goblin for the miniature of imprisoned Ragnar (lots of us have this one costum 3d printed). Then you can say that instead of a undercover goblin its a human slave that helps you unlock the doors. I think this works waaay better

I love this quest. I love the corruption aspect of it.

Awesome! I love the ideas in this Quest Pack and I want to run it now. I might see about buying the Quest Book on it's own though because I really don't need any of the box contents really ...

I’ll personally switch friendly goblin with one of those mercenaries as a scout that just guide you

Well, that settles it. I'm (pre)ordering this. Thanks for the great review!

6:11 The issue I ran into on quest 3 was the party being too powerful and wiping all the monsters before they had a chance to do anything special. The goblin only respawned once, which I had less of an issue since it was just a good roll. But the final demon, which I custom printed and painted (prior to the retail release) hoping for an epic fight was put to sleep and wiped before his first turn. I’d strongly advocate for many of the levels starting on Zargon’s turn like an ambush if you have a medium to strong party, especially on the final demon.

Great review, as always! (Sorry if this is a little long.) I remember reading the original three Mythic Tier Quest Books from scans that just happen to fall out of a trunk one day (totally legit! LOL). I recall how slapdash it all was in layout and information, so I categorized it as one of those untested early release books that gets fixed due to fan feedback. So yeah, like some old D&D or Judge's Guild module being reused for modern D&D/PF play, Zargon players will have to read though them **thoroughly** and adjust each part that makes no sense. Here were my notes about this Quest set: In room were monsters are standing behind cupboards/bookcases, move the furniture back to the wall to avoid supposition and have the monster spring out of it on Zargon's turn (just like Ambush in WHQ). As transformed Orcs, Heroes are allowed use any artifacts and equipment usable by any Hero, and assume that everyone have at least a BRAOWDsword (sorry, I love saying that) so they don't die to quickly. Use the Witch Lord's Throne Room tile (most player will have it) as the Alter of High Mages, noting that the safest way down is by a "grand staircase" akin the the one on The Titanic (pointing for players to what-is-what). The books states it negates "all magic", so not being able to use basic equipment makes zero sense... so ignore that it says and allow for all non-magical Equipment (so, not the Wand), Potions and Skills. To keep the game flowing with Zargon's Flame, establish that the target numbers are 1 and 6, or 1 with hit with a Water spell. I did not catch that "each Hero gets a Ring of Fortitude" at first, only catching it when I reread it as a physical booklet from the Quest Pack. I don't like the idea of having multiple Artifacts of the same type. Hell, I don't even like the idea of consumable Artifacts beyond the Elixir of Life and thus treat spell scrolls as their own thing! I like Artifacts to be unique and permanent (or at least, reusable). In this case, I rather have that boost to Body (even Mind) as an innate ability that comes with hard work and becoming better Heroes, and thus, cannot be striped away so easily with theft or some magic negation.

I think my next big purchase will be the new Heroquest, most expansions seem easy to get hold of, unlike most GW stuff

Glad that we all have the chance to play some new missions from Stephen Baker. I think I will play these on the old board.

Great vid.

Hey! It's a Prophecy of Telor Tell-All 😂

Does it matter which type of Hero Character has the Talisman of Lore? For example, in one of my playing groups, the BARBARIAN has the Talisman of Lore. Will this be a problem when we play this Quest Book?

So the bad guy on the front of the box, do you think that is Melar or Fellmarak?

Guessing next would be Path of the Wandering Monk?

Some unusual maps for this quest seem like a great candidate for a playthrough, or is it just me? Goblin with Gorgoyle stats... Gobgoyle? Gorblin? P. S. Watch out, fellow traveler. The whole 'ABNB hates the Greenskins' thing might end up as running gag at this pace.

Looks fun

🔥

At least they decided to crib a pretty obscure and niche story. Not much chance that any of the players will recognize anything.

Word is Hasbro is looking to sell D&D and possibly even Wizards of the Coast along with it to Tencent. I have no idea what this means for Avalon Hill and Heroquest. And even though this is a rumor,it makes a lot of sense because Tencent owns the company that made Baldur's Gate 3 so they'd be pretty interested in acquiring it. Even at that,I'm expecting to see Heroquest at Ollie's at any time because that's just how Hasbro rolls these days. Really stupid. Basically shooting themselves in the foot while it's planted firmly in their mouths. So enjoy while you can because who knows how long it's going to last.
