Perpetual Lurker. First-Time Poster

Postby dennislikesgames » Saturday January 27th, 2024 11:17am

Hi all! I was around when HQ was being advertised in gaming magazines and comic books. But of course, being a kid in the Philippines, it was next to impossible for me to get ahold of the game, despite all my begging!

I was finally able to get a beat-up copy of HQ and WHQ about five years ago and finding sites like this has really kicked up the game to a state that's pretty irresistible. I still haven't upgraded to the new version - though I'm sure I'm just pushing against inevitability at this point.

Thanks for maintaining a great site for custom resources for the game!

It's great you finally scored your copy after such a long period of waiting. If you return to the Philippines for a visit, be sure to bring it along and treat the kids! I played Heroscape there with children from the extended family and they loved it. I'd protect your WHQ copy from travel, though.
