Neat!

With this site, I believe finding an adventure to play is now very easy. Sorting between "Difficulty" or "Number of players" also helps greatly if you want to find a specific type of adventure. Every adventure is also "remade" into nice looking booklets, you will know what I mean with "remade" if you download an adventure and check the files.
The website also hosts Super High Resolution scans of pretty much every original HeroQuest Merchandise.
I have tried to message all authors for their permission to host their Quests but a lot of them have not been online on these forums for many years. If you are the author of one or more adventure on my site and don't want it hosted, please let me know!
My thought on this:
In IT, we have a mantra: Multiple redundant copies! Not just a backup, but many backups, and not all located in the same place. The more effort you put into your backup strategy, the more has to go wrong to lose a copy.
We didn't do that as a community for many reasons, and now some things are just gone. If you've managed to recover some, find some that nobody else had, and improve upon resources available here even at the Inn.. For that reason and a couple of others … well, you asked for permission, and I'm not personally bothering to do that anymore.
It's not that I'm trying to take something that belong to them or anything—credit where do, link back to their site as long as their site's there to link back to, etc. But someday if that site goes down and the link goes nowhere, hey, we have that, here it is!
That's a far cry from the eBay parasites who scrape together every fan-made card for the game, gets sets printed up, and then sells them on eBay as if they were somehow either part of the game, an official expansion, or their own creation, for twice what they paid to have them printed in the first place. You shouldn't give those people your money if for no other reason than they're kind of being very vague about what they're selling in the hopes you're gullible enough to buy.
A more reasonable scenario: Someone here on the Inn or other site organizes a group buy of all those custom bits people have developed for the game. Some tiles, card decks, etc. A couple of people buy more sets than they intend to use. All get a good discount on what they buy because of the group order and quantity of parts produced.
The couple of folks who bought extra sets then sell them for a modest markup … say 10% to people who missed the group buy. They know what they're getting, where it came from (here!), that they could make their own card decs and tokens/tiles … but it'll probably cost them what the asking price is to do it from the same professional printer. But even if it were more than 10% more than the seller paid, the fact that the buyer knows the details kinda matters a lot in my opinion.
(Actually, if someone wants to undercut the parasites/scalpers, it'd make my day… In an ideal world, it would spoil theirs.)
