A thousand pardons, my memory of these events has already gotten fuzzy. I did work with quests on the back of the box, but the front is the Swedish version...

Next we'll need to take another look at the back of the Remake box...

We can check and see if it matches up with any existing quest or is another brand new one.

As predicted, the above image does not appear to match any of the quest maps from the NA game system, KK or ROTWL. Nor is it an attempt to re-create the original back of the box image, but something new!

In universe you could imagine these images represent the creativity of custom quests. |_P

Hi, I guess it should be inside enough bases for both furniture and miniatures but only somebody with an original Brazilian copy could answer that.


Totally random answer after all this time, but no, the door bases are bigger. There are smaller bases with the same shape, like about 2/3rds of the door bases, just for the minis.

Another interesting detail of the remake box back is the different colored (chocolate) Sorcerer's table and one room with a treasure chest is inaccessible (they ran out of doors). Might be other oddities...

Whipped up a quick approximation in Heroscribe.

Linked with the original metallic prototypes of furniture models, Fimm McCool has posted today this interesting entry with pictures on his blog:

None of the green figures are used. Interesting.

I still wish I could get HeroScribe working again. I'm on Mac these days and I just can't get it to run. I have with the base code, but adding in the graphic packs.... crashes like a mofo.

Perhaps that room has a secret door and the chest was discovered by Pass Through Rock.
