Would you lend out your copy of HQ to a friend?

[Jackyboy]

Having just got my copies back from a friend whom I lent them too years ago! I will say NO WAY! Although he would never intentially harm the games, he couldn't find them for ages, they were in his loft. I'm sure some things were missing and in less of a condition than when I gave them to him. The only plus is he is now giving me all his old board games, ADHQ, Dungeons and Dragons board game etc

Now I have them back in my possession and am firmly getting my arse back into the action! These games are never leaving my side, I will be teaching my son how to play them as soon as he is old enough and these will be a keep sake for him when I am gone. I want to make my collection as full as possible with custom expansions and all sorts! NOT to be lent out for any reason!

Man, I wish someone in my circle of friends had that many games and wanted to part with them. lucky you!

i say no to my sister and brother ( even that my brother got this HQ present. ) i still say NO
and i hav allways got this policy if you broke some thing my own (if you cannot pay for it ) then i broke some thing that you own.

Like 16 years a go my friend lended 3 VHS tape 2 where totally broken by theyr dog. I told him pay up if not i broke something that you own (vhs i mean)
or like my brother broke my book Belgaraht i was so pisst off that i broke his favored book Dragonlance.

UPDATE: I lent my friend a basic copy of the Game System, and could not be happier! He designed a really exciting quest, giving me not only the opportunity to be on the other side of the Evil Wizard screen, but to be inspired! He used traps in a fun way, while I had always avoided them for fear of them not working out or being annoying. It was refreshing to play a quest a remember what matters when you're dungeon crawling with friends.

I think I may buy him his own copy of HQ for his birthday

Sweet, always would maybe, lend to someone I know that also loves the game, but anyone else. It remains under lock and key at all times! I have to watch my wee cat and dog from time to time when I have everything out, they just seem to think the miniatures are food!! A friend I was introduced to a wee while ago recently told me he had a core set, and not long ago gave it away! Mini heart attack! Hahaha.. mostly everyone just gets to see the pictures and posts of whatever I do with Hero Quest. Im evil.

When I moved away for college 15 years ago, I left some stuff at a friend's house--my copy of HeroQuest being one of them, along with Keller's Keep and Return of the Witch Lord expansion packs. Unfortunately when he moved out the following year, he moved into a sketchy roommate situation and had to leave on the spur of a moment... and left half of his stuff behind, including all my HeroQuest stuff, along with his own copy. That's why about a year ago I decided I needed to finally buy a new (to me) copy.

TRASHING DRAGONLANCE too far.. Your just like Caramon and Raistlin. I won't lend my set to anyone for love or money ! I would just bring it and play it. If you want to barrow the game system too bad. Save up and buy one you will love it and treat it like a family heirloom.

I like collecting more than hoarding. If all my *lemony goodness* gets lost or stolen, I get to collect it over again. Its about the journey.

I wouldn't lend out my copy of HeroQuest, or any of my games with lots of cards and small pieces...except maybe Monopoly

Even when I play HeroQuest with my friends I worry a bit about pieces getting damaged, especially since some of the players are young and the cost of this game and it's components keep going up in price. Sometimes I look at my HeroQuest collection (the base game and all four US expansions) and am in disbelief when I think of what it would cost to replace.

That being said, I'm quite glad it's still getting used. It was meant to be played, just like my collectible guitars, basses and ukuleles.

my collectible ukuleles.
