Ye Olde Inn

Hello, everyone.
As some of you may know, I was asked to host several HeroQuest games last year at GenCon 2024 in Indianapolis. I had a blast! Sharing my love of the game with several new comers to HeroQuest, newcomers to RPGs and some veteran players. It was a lot of fun.

I have been asked back for this years 2025 GenCon. The dates are July 31st through August 3rd, if anyone is interested in "the best 4 days of gaming".

I am still working out the details, but will update here if anyone is interested in following along or coming to meet me in person.

I have to check with friends, but I hope to see you there!

I'll be there (as will several people from HeroQuestFans discord, by last count). Would love to meet the guy who made so much stuff I use in HeroQuest, at the very least.

I'll be there as well... my very first GenCon. I'm looking forward to it!

Keep both hands on your wallet at all times (not because of pickpockets, I mean because you'll be tempted to blow it all on board game crap!).

UPDATE:

I will be in the "TABLETOP GAYMERS" room, hosting HeroQuest games at the following tentative schedule:
Thursday:
10AM
12PM
Friday:
8AM
10AM
Saturday:
8AM
10AM
Sunday:
8AM
10AM

I will also be hosting some Sentinels of the Multiverse games, but have not set times for those, yet.

Pictures, please... we would like to see pictures of such high level meeting!

2 hours is ambitious per session, but it can be done! Who knows, maybe you'll get some regulars!

My first priority will be to get into what Avalon Hill sponsored plays I can, but I do want to interact with fans like last year, which was really great.

We used 'special GenCon rules' for these sessions. Example: Instead of 'each hero gets to search each room once for treasure, traps, secret doors', a single search can take place for each location, but includes all three searches. A specially adopted map is utilized, as well. The idea isn't to have a classic HeroQuest game, per se, but to let new players experience that which we already know; which is how awesome a game HQ actually is. Last year all, but two, of the players I hosted were new to the game. One had played once at a convention in Connecticut, years ago and the other was an experienced Zargon, who had never played as a Hero. They both loved it!! And as far as I know, the rest enjoyed it as well. I also created a special GenCon treasure deck that included armory items just so they could experience some degree of 'leveling up'. I enjoy playing the game and found it interesting to see how these complete strangers work as a team. I had a blast!

Perhaps could be designed a special Intro Quest based in Ye Olde Inn, as a tribute in GenCon to our beloved website??
