Ye Olde Inn

Possibly the best music video ever inspired by Heroquest.

Not exactly HeroQuest, but equal or greater in scale of epicness!

We've all been there...

I gotta go with Wonderboy by Tenacious D. Unfortunately, the Mucky-muck Man has banned its play on Youtube. Try this link:

It loads slowly.

I had to give it a second chance. The first time I watched it I was ho hum about it. The second time was a lot better. So many gaming references to be said. I couldn't stop thinking about the need for a Cleric... I mean honestly. You never leave home without one...

If you have no Cleric then be sure everyone in the party has at least 3 heal potions. And the good and powerful ones not those lousy D6 ones that have an inexplicable way of rolling 1's and 2's!

For me rather than have say 2d6+x (x being whatever the standard bonus is) for healing I like giving 1d6+6+x or even 1d4+8+x to ensure players don't get screwed out of some needed HP. That's happened to me way too often. Always bring a Cleric, a party of 4 Clerics is obscenely hard to bring down...

I tried showing this video to my co-workers, but it's gone. Can't find it anywhere!

Of course they do. It's a well-known application of Murphy's Law.

Incidentally, if you apply a minimum heal of 3 to the effects of a Potion of Questionable Healing, it and the standard "heals 4 Body Points" potion have exactly the same expected outcome. (One die has 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6 as its faces, and the other has 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4. Both dice sum to 24, just arranged differently.)

Also, if you have a pair of Sicherman dice, you can roll the die with the 8 on it instead of a normal d6, to give a better spread of healing values. Getting a 1 still sucks, but the other faces more than make up the difference on average. (The easiest way to simulate such a die with "normal" d6es is to treat all rolls of 2 as 8s instead.)
