Has some gathered the icons for all the expansions up to and including Rise of the Dread Moon in PNG or JPEG format?

squidgemonster of hquestbuilder.com seems to have assembled them. Of course the PDF for Rise of the Dread Moon is out now (you can find great vector images of these and other characters there, see also MOTM and Frozen Horror for the rest of the unique character icons and furniture). There were some visual glitches and errors with some of the original icons (corrections aren't too difficult) regarding the Specter (weird strike through lines in a couple of places) and the Dread Wraith (cropped top or edge), but there you go. The Hideout infamously is not a stylized vector icon like the others but a monochromatic image instead but various apps out there with AI might be usable to convert it into something resembling what others desire. These are just examples below, not trying to say they are improvements on the captures of others!

There's those elusive Mythic icons to consider as well. Acid Trap, Tavern, and Temple. The Dragon map icon in First Light may resemble the one in CoPD but with a different base size (this is a speculative reconstruction):

Some that squidgemonster may also consider adding... the "bone pile" from ROTWL that while it has no official function, nevertheless has a map icon in the back of the official PDF... and First Light will make use of some unused tiles from the GS, like the Mentor/Zargon "mystery tile" and the "grates" as well, I have it on good authority.

Thanks for the comment @kurgan - I am very close to getting Against the Ogre Horde out the door, and can certainly look at any missing icons :)

I have put a post on Reddit asking a few questions about implementing the expansions and also covering off the older EU/US styles, as well as some larger questions about expansions - if anyone wants to take a look:
https://www.reddit.com/r/hquestbuilder/ ... questions/ - you can always reply via the builder's contact form if Reddit isn't your jam, or here... if I get notified of mentions.

RE: the graphics. I have spent a LOT of time collating, kindly being supplied with and optimising the icon graphics for hQuestBuilder - if anything can be syndicated back to HeroScribe, I'm happy to help where I can.

Oops, I had it backwards... the "Bone Pile" mystery tile from ROTWL doesn't have an official map icon, but the "Statue" mystery tile from KK does...
