OpenQuest at Proof!

June 26th, 2009 by Newt

Earlier this week I finished off the layout of OpenQuest and sent the Pdf to my printers. Still waiting for the proof but in the mean time here are some photos that chief OQ evangelist Neil Ford took of the copy he printed off and bound.

Neil is also running the OpenQuest Adventure ‘The Road Less Travelled’ at Dragonmeet SW this Sunday 28th June in Swindon at The Croft Sports Centre..

I’m off on my holiday next week, but when I’m back I’ll be sorting out releasing the game as a free Pdf and running a softcover printed version which I will be selling at £15 +p&p.

Release should be no later than mid-July.

D101 to do a range of HeroQuest 2 supplements

June 26th, 2009 by Newt

I’ve got a long association with HeroQuest, having played the game from its first incarnation HeroWars in 2000. I’m delighted that Moon Designs is allowing other publishers release non-Gloranthan supplements under the Open Gaming Licence. D101 Games will be fully embracing this amazing opportunity and releasing a number of HeroQuest supplements in various genres.

See what we’ve got in the pipeline on our HeroQuest page.

Me and John Ossoway are hard at work on the first adventure book for OpenQuest  ‘The Savage North’.  John has just sent me the first map, which will also act as the back cover.

UPDATE: Jon Hodgson has now sent me a brilliant front cover painting.
