Thx for the feedback dude.

The margins won't be as large when printed, I know that the icon colours do need tweaking, I've been mucking about with them. The icon sizes will be corrected in the final version.

I do have some ideas for a different introductory Quest, but I'll be leaving it for a different volume.

More uploads have been done. Hope to get the cards finished over the weekend.

In the mean time, a couple of quick examples of how HQR is looking right now:

I just love the linguistics behind this. But I'm sure I must have mentioned.

Seems like there are a few commas missing. "An arrow shoots from the wall, striking you." is the worst (otherwise it sounds like a wall is striking you), but most of the sentences need to be broken up with commas for clarity.

Good catch on the stray comma in the flavour texts. I'm used to more technical writing, and this is reflected in the rules text on the cards.

Hi Slev,

I saw you mentioned a Wizards Quest Oack in Cynthia's thread. Is it available to look at? I saw a bunch others that looked interesting on your website, the links aren't active yet though.

Not yet as a seperate entity.

You can see the extra spell decks (Control and Wizardry) on the site already though!

A look at the Armory Cards shows those that don't match the Gary Chalk style. Have you checked out the Project Aon site yet? There's loads of Chalk artwork there from the first five Kai books and some of the periodicals. If you're not averse to using art work without express permission, there's a lot to choose from and it matches the Hero Quest card style well. I guess you could even write Gary for permission, which would be safer and more ethical.
