@@TheDungeonDive I'm only really getting back into board games to be honest but I think dungeon crawling is my thing (might be due to heroquest nostalgia). I think you would love the warhammer quest card game
Love your videos about AHQ! ...I’ve been reading the rules as I’m building my set and man!....I gotta say that this game is standing so tall above everything I’ve played to date!! ...maybe my DC experience is limited but this game is so versatile and accessible...I’m getting so excited to get my project finished and log some play time. Best dungeon crawl ever right now!
Huge fan of AHQ and bought it when it was released way back when. It has sat on my self for years since then and about 9 years ago I bought all the metal skaven and painted them for it. Again, I only managed to fist play the game at that time but never finished the quest for the Shattered Amulet. I am now planning to play it solo and film it over my holidays once I've finished painting the heroes. I look forward to watching your video later tonight when painting and thanks for making this :)
Great vid and great references for research and development! Thanks!! Saw you have Dragon Strike in your pile o' games. The intro VHS for that is freaking PRICELESS!!
Totally! I did a video on Dragon Strike. Pretty cool game, actually. I like the different boards. But I did end up selling it, as it's not a game I'd really play these days.
Always nice to see a new video of someone sharing their love for Advanced Heroquest. I am right there with you man! It is also my favorite of the big three. I own it but I made my own tiles for it out of inch thick insulation foam. They have magnetic bottoms to place on a large piece of sheet metal and the option to use walls if I want. For wizard I use the Warhammer Quest style of play with my own spells like, force push or just simple things like magic missle. Roll for power on d6 ect..also want to make a deck of cards for random dungeons. Passage, passage with 1 door, passage with 2 doors, passage with monsters.. I could go on and on. I loved your video. Cheers!
@@TheDungeonDive Just some pics, still just working out putting almost everything on cards, encounters, monsters, hazards, treasures, magical treasures ect. Mostly from Terror in the dark and my own creations. Lots of work to do. Mixing the best of AH and WQ into one is my focus.
I bought this back in 1990ish? then inherited another set from a friend in 1995 so have double bubble tiles for huge layouts. Still play to this day, expanded rules and our own house rules for things like blocking doorways and locked/unlocked doors. Such a great game and a missed opportunity at the time. Good luck getting a mint version for under £100 now!
Super sorry about the audio quality on this one. My mic wasn’t plugged in, so it just picked up the sound on my phone. :( For some reason, I mix up the words door and room multiple times in this. Not sure why. Lol. Gonna blame it on the allergy medicine.
The Dungeon Dive great video, I’m interested in creating some buff’s and neg’s in card for a game I’m making, I’m interested in how you make your cards look so professional?
@@marcusgingell3585 Have you heard of drive thru cards? You can create files and send them to them and they will make you some cards. Not sure if this helps, I'm not smart enough to design games myself...
@@TheDungeonDive Yeah, I really like them too, just as with the Warhammer Quest tiles. There's something to their simplicity that's refreshing, and they still look very cool and atmospheric. I think like you've said at times, how sometimes anything is nothing, speaks to this. Many of these tiles are just that. Tiles, empty rooms, sometimes a little features here and there but not many. It's nice not having super crowded and busy artwork and scenes sometimes, because yes, sometimes there would probably be empty or nearly bare rooms in abandoned dungeons and fortresses, especially if they had been left there for centuries. It's a feel that I don't get in many games currently and I realize I really want to play something that will give me that armosphere.
I have such fond memories of that store. Loved game stores back then, because you could find all kinds of totally wild shit...games in plastic baggies, games printed on home copiers....all kinds of weird indie stuff.
I completely agree wirh your starting sentence: the reason of the failure of this game was the lack ov variety in the box. Nonetheless, the rule sistem is AWESOME and I created up to 24 different classes for heroes. If you collected minis for years and you have Heroquest too, the fun is endless. I deeply love this game and I gave unforgettable days to a bunch of friends. Lastly, I personally don't agree with the idea of a random generated dungeon. I prefer to draw dungeons by miself. Usually, a total point value of 4 times the total amount of fate points of the heroes is ok to give a though but possible adventure. I also adjusted here and there some minor rules, but the system encourages this, and that's one of the reasons I love it.
My favourite dungeon crawl. The D12 system works very well. I much prefer this to Warhammer Quest. I like the realism of having to buy ingredients for magic spells and when they are gone they are gone. In Warhammer Quest you just keep endlessly rolling for winds of magic to do your spells. I also really like that you don`t know how big each level will be when you enter it(apart from last level)
Advanced Heroquest has a module in Tabletop Simulator - this is fork Advanced Heroquest 3.0. It’s with the rules of the world map, guilds, cities and many other interesting things, like Dun :) I advise you to try it!
I was thinking of fiddling around with it as I have the mod on Tabletop Simulator. It looks cool but I want to get actual miniatures instead of the cardboard cutouts.
Holy crap, look at you pulling out all the old school GW boxed products from 3+ decades ago! Impressive! Can I come over and dungeon crawl some time please?
Totally. I love dungeon crawlers and have played a ton of them. Warhammer Quest was fine, but I feel like it ignored the whole exploration element that made Heroquest and AHQ so thrilling. Middara is a modern crawler that has brought some of that back (just a shame that the theme doesn’t quite hit for me).
@@firehrt WHQ is my favorite old school DC, for sure; I think it does exploration really well, at least to me. I didn't care for Middara. Too much reading in between missions. Cool system, though.
@@firehrt I just want to add that the Arcane Portal Addon from Sword & Sorcery introduces dungeon area exploration as well. And the follow up Ancient Chronicles will have it in several Quests (not all) as well. Sword & Sorcery has a lot of meaningful exploration overall.
It's been so long I can't really say. I do know that when I was looking for them, I just googled things like map tiles for WHQ / AHQ. There were quite a few places that had them for download.
I never use three passages either.. I have developed a really good Solo set of rules over the years .. on one A4.. happy to send it to you the PDF - but how?
I know this is years after you posted this original video, but I keep coming back to this video, and the one you did about empty dungeons... I can't recall if it was this video or another related, but you asked the audience if they would like to hear more about your hacks and ideas for AHQ... I for one am very interested in how you make games more fun for yourself.
Just google for Enhanced Advanced Heroquest for the main rules, and I got the expansion book on Sribd. I signed up for a free trial account and downloaded all the WHQ and AHQ stuff they had.
Can recommend taking a look at the fan-made edition "HeroQuest Revised (v2)" of the normal HeroQuest as well. It's really well made, and even has the addition of a custom dice set, which are really great.
I used to play a lot of Heroquest back in my youth and always wanted to play this but never did. I might get myself a copy on ebay. I remember when this was first released it had its own paint set
I was wondering : where do your double square doors and plastic stands come from? Been trying to find good ones and those are great! Thank you for the interesting video, your homebrew rules to spice up solo gameplay are nice
Articles I think I grabbed off of Scribd. They’re out there. Just Google them. That’s how I found them. I had them spiral bound with laminated covers at a office supply store.
Yes I remember buying this game as an early teen and being deeply disappointed on many occasions that I didn't have the right models to play this game with. I didn't have the sort of pocket money needed to collect the figures needed and to be honest I think it was a rip off by GW. It was designed to doop people into having to buy the extra models to play the game properly. Was a good game though!!!!!!!!!!!
Always been interested in AHQ , but god damn does it cost an arm and a leg online. I have a complete set of the original and a dnd grid map, so I guess I could always play using that. Unfortunately I can’t find a proper pdf of the original rules from a reliable site aside from Scribd.
Use the Enhanced Advanced HeroQuest rules that I mention. Easy to find with a quick google search, and they contain everything from the base game, expansion, and white dwarf articles.
I have the 1st HeroQuest game. My friends and I love it! What other games are out now that are similar to HeroQuest or Advanced HeroQuest? I need a good dungeon crawler very similar to either of these games. Not so much card based mind you but focuses more on minis and dungeon tile setup. Thx
Hey Daniel - I watched your entire Warhammer Quest series and thought you did and excellent job. I own two complete sets of Warhammer Quest mostly unpunched and miniatures on sprues, also both expansions unpunched with miniatures in blisters. I have the 3 treasure card expansion packs also new in shrink wrap. I love Warhammer Quest but I sometimes think Advanced Heroquest is the better game, and from this video I'm wondering if you think the same? I'm tempted to play Warhammer Quest but with Advanced Heroquest rules.
@@TheDungeonDive I actually have a third warhammer quest thats about 75% complete that i bought locally for $75 about 5 years ago. I remember you mentioning you were in the NW in one of the videos I watched. I live in Tacoma WA. And call me crazy but I'm actually looking at opening a brick and mortar game store soon.
@@TheDungeonDive one thing you have I don't is some of the bonus miniatures, for some reason I haven't tried to collect them despite being a bit of a completionist in most circumstances. I did buy 3rd edition of Talisman though just to get the cool minis to use in Warhammer Quest and whatever.
@@TheDungeonDive Awesome, thanks! I have heard of them but only seen the sci fi settings. I'll go look for these. Great video btw! I'm also working on AHQ, it was quite ahead of it's time in a way but of course, every younger player that loved Heroquest found it too complicated and there were no streamlined rules or slow introductions, you just had to read the manual a whole lot and have more miniatures than provided. Not even enough tokens were there, I hope to fix these issues and turn my copy into a "what should have been" at the time kind of thing.
Totally. AHQ is a great rule-set, but a terrible product. One of the GW's worst boxed games. The box is almost entirely empty, and it didn't even come with enough stuff to populate the included campaign. Also, none of the heroes or monsters shown on the cover are even included in the game.
AHQ was a vehicle to cash in on the popularity of the first HQ and cross sell Warhammer Fantasy Battle minis. That been said...AHQ is Amazeballs and totes amazing. I kinda wish there were more narratives in the rule book but still its wonderballs. Paint the minis to maximise the game. If you watch youtube tutorials you dont have to be a great painter which is handy becuase I am awful :)
It's a great game, for sure. I'm a totally OK painter, I just don't have the time to. It's the very, very, very, very last way I want to spend my free time. :) I can do the Dungeon Dive, or paint, and I get way more hobby satisfaction out of doing the Dungeon Dive. :)
@@TheDungeonDive Maybe if we crossed abilities. My extra free time on top of your paint skills we'd be like Optimus Prime! For reals though you do make a good point re time sink. I have recently aquired a new copy of AHQ and have just painted 20 identical Skaven and...12{?} men at arms....gets a bit tedious.
I played HQ as a child but never owned it. Bought my copy a decade ago. Couldn't afford the expansions even then, but I wanted them. Then … I saw AHQ and the paint set for an amazing price! I grabbed it.Shipping was well more than the cost of the game, but … I had something kinda unique and unplayed. It's sat unplayed because five minutes with the rules told me it was a different game entirely. But you're right-it's an incomplete game that presumes you have a copy of HeroQuest at the least, or a pile of Citadel minis and are prepared to buy more. It's basically incomplete as sold. You've given me reason to dig it out and see what it's like. I wonder if a program to do the auto-generation would make sense? Probably not if you've made heavy changes to it…but maybe even if you have it could be easy to modify the auto-roll tool? Hmm. I don't regret buying my copy of AHQ, as I've said a couple of times lately. I don't have the expansion, but apparently if I've got the rules I don't need it. Still, I kinda wish there was a comprehensive site like Ye Olde Inn for AHQ. I never found one, anyway. I'm a bit of a preservationist and the best I've found are low-res, blurry scans. I can scan the base game, but I haven't got the expansion to scan. It'd also be cool if there was a source where fan-created tiles and quests were posted. The Inn has spoiled me for base HQ I guess. 😉
I wonder if GW's intention with Advanced Heroquest was... a) get folks to reuse miniatures from Heroquest b) get folks to buy new miniatures from their catalogue/store to replace the monster tokens c) offer players AH as a 'hobbyist expansion' to Heroquest whilst also offering it as a standalone game to newbie players d) just misguided - they f'd up on the UX (user experience) Funny to think that Heroquest ultimately ended up inspiring the Sadler Bros to design AltarQuest, whereas Advanced Heroquest is clearly the more beloved fan experience.
I think A-C are all likely, with the focus on B and C. This really should have been marketed as an "advanced" expansion for Heroquest, because that's what it is. I bought it used, knowing that, and so I knew what I was getting going in. If I had bought it not knowing that, I would have been very, very disappointed with what is included in the box.
My understanding is that it was basically a big expansion pack to bridge between the kid-friendly Heroquest boardgame and the far deeper hobbyist Warhammer range at the time: Warhammer Fantasy Battle, Warhammer Quest and Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. GW definitely figured people would use the existing citadel miniature range to populate the dungeons they created.
Nope! I either have time to learn, play and make videos for games, write and record music, and read and write about books, or paint minis. I've chosen wisely. :)
@@TheDungeonDive my son and I enjoy the process of home brewing heroquest. Our newest additions were a "greed" treasure card that makes you immediately draw two more treasure cards at your own peril. Also the short bow which is just essentially a dagger that never runs out of ammo and can't be fired at close range. Also the crossbow needs a round to reload. The crossbow was the worst bit of game design in the original heroquest system lol
@@TheDungeonDive man I love hero quest, I have three of them(non complete). I'm really interested in the advanced, I think it might be the collector in me😁, but their prices shot up over the last year or two. I also was looking forward to the 25th anniversary one that was illegitimatly coming out. But that also was not ment to be😭. Where I'm from no one plays table top or role playing games so I just collect them. I suppose the nostalgic buzz will have to sufice💚🇮🇪
Have you ever heard of Allied heroquest? Bit of a mash up of a halfway house between both games. I have both games and find this a great way of mashing them together. tocoking.be/ahq/files/AlliedHQ_Rulebook_DRAFT_Version1_8_1.pdf
I keep going back and forth on when new portions of dungeon are meant to be generated by the GM. By my reading, I'm relatively sure that new sections are laid at the end of all heroes movement and actions, prior to the GM phase. Others I have played with generate the new rooms or corridors as they are encountered.
What i don t like in advanced Heroquest is that you roll one thousand dices, it s boring after 1 hour of that treatment... and sometimes you can have great adventures or depending only on luck only empty rooms that lead to close the box very quickly... i think that advanced HQ have great background more adult than MB heroquest and can be a good intro to roleplaying but no furnitures, only skaven as bad guys and game time is too long. Warhammer Quest is better to me
No prob. I think youtube attracts animated talkers. It's easier to convey emotion in audio/video when you talk with your whole body, and helps to make the voice sound not boring. :)
Wow, I've just brushed off the dust from my old Heroquest this week to play during lockdown. You've got the best taste in games.

What an amazing coincidence, I hadn't heard of Advanced HeroQuest until recently and was interested in seeing how it compared with WarhammerQuest.
It’s quite a bit different. It’s kind of surprising how much different the two really are. They seemed to completely abandon the AHQ system entirely.

I would guess MB wanted to cut production costs and reduced the mini count. I would love to hear from the original GW designers about that.
Yeah - a good documentary about GW, HeroQuest, MB, and WHQ would be awesome.
This is super expensive on Ebay. On the bright side Hasbro has made a crowdfunded hero quest remake for 100 and 150
Yes it is. And I would not pay eBay prices for AHQ. Not worth it.
What are the walls you have in the thumb nail? I couldn't see them in the video
Battle Systems Dungeon
@@TheDungeonDive Awesome, thanks! I have heard of them but only seen the sci fi settings. I'll go look for these. Great video btw! I'm also working on AHQ, it was quite ahead of it's time in a way but of course, every younger player that loved Heroquest found it too complicated and there were no streamlined rules or slow introductions, you just had to read the manual a whole lot and have more miniatures than provided. Not even enough tokens were there, I hope to fix these issues and turn my copy into a "what should have been" at the time kind of thing.
Totally. AHQ is a great rule-set, but a terrible product. One of the GW's worst boxed games. The box is almost entirely empty, and it didn't even come with enough stuff to populate the included campaign. Also, none of the heroes or monsters shown on the cover are even included in the game.
…. But I don’t have any Decent 2.0 tiles. All
I’ve got are Zombicide tiles and CMON miniatures.
nosotros usábamos las reglas de Hero quest,pero usando tiles y cartas,y por supuesto dado de seis,que era más divertido y fácil de jugar
AHQ was a vehicle to cash in on the popularity of the first HQ and cross sell Warhammer Fantasy Battle minis. That been said...AHQ is Amazeballs and totes amazing. I kinda wish there were more narratives in the rule book but still its wonderballs.
Paint the minis to maximise the game. If you watch youtube tutorials you dont have to be a great painter which is handy becuase I am awful :)
It's a great game, for sure. I'm a totally OK painter, I just don't have the time to. It's the very, very, very, very last way I want to spend my free time. :) I can do the Dungeon Dive, or paint, and I get way more hobby satisfaction out of doing the Dungeon Dive. :)
@@TheDungeonDive Maybe if we crossed abilities. My extra free time on top of your paint skills we'd be like Optimus Prime!
For reals though you do make a good point re time sink. I have recently aquired a new copy of AHQ and have just painted 20 identical Skaven and...12{?} men at arms....gets a bit tedious.
I wish I had the time. I really do. But I have so many damn hobbies!
Here we go with the "Tjasm" Again.. ;D
Do you feel that AHQ is easier to Print and Play than Warhammer Quest 1995?
Not sure. WHQ has a lot of cards, but AHQ has a lot of tiles. Maybe a bit easier.
I played HQ as a child but never owned it. Bought my copy a decade ago. Couldn't afford the expansions even then, but I wanted them. Then … I saw AHQ and the paint set for an amazing price! I grabbed it.Shipping was well more than the cost of the game, but … I had something kinda unique and unplayed. It's sat unplayed because five minutes with the rules told me it was a different game entirely. But you're right-it's an incomplete game that presumes you have a copy of HeroQuest at the least, or a pile of Citadel minis and are prepared to buy more. It's basically incomplete as sold.
You've given me reason to dig it out and see what it's like. I wonder if a program to do the auto-generation would make sense? Probably not if you've made heavy changes to it…but maybe even if you have it could be easy to modify the auto-roll tool? Hmm.
I don't regret buying my copy of AHQ, as I've said a couple of times lately. I don't have the expansion, but apparently if I've got the rules I don't need it. Still, I kinda wish there was a comprehensive site like Ye Olde Inn for AHQ. I never found one, anyway. I'm a bit of a preservationist and the best I've found are low-res, blurry scans. I can scan the base game, but I haven't got the expansion to scan. It'd also be cool if there was a source where fan-created tiles and quests were posted. The Inn has spoiled me for base HQ I guess. 😉
Bro! Your books are tabbed! Smart!

If anyone in UK fancies a game that would be pretty awesome.
I wonder if GW's intention with Advanced Heroquest was...
a) get folks to reuse miniatures from Heroquest
b) get folks to buy new miniatures from their catalogue/store to replace the monster tokens
c) offer players AH as a 'hobbyist expansion' to Heroquest whilst also offering it as a standalone game to newbie players
d) just misguided - they f'd up on the UX (user experience)
Funny to think that Heroquest ultimately ended up inspiring the Sadler Bros to design AltarQuest, whereas Advanced Heroquest is clearly the more beloved fan experience.
I think A-C are all likely, with the focus on B and C. This really should have been marketed as an "advanced" expansion for Heroquest, because that's what it is. I bought it used, knowing that, and so I knew what I was getting going in. If I had bought it not knowing that, I would have been very, very disappointed with what is included in the box.
My understanding is that it was basically a big expansion pack to bridge between the kid-friendly Heroquest boardgame and the far deeper hobbyist Warhammer range at the time: Warhammer Fantasy Battle, Warhammer Quest and Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. GW definitely figured people would use the existing citadel miniature range to populate the dungeons they created.
@@cybertrophic Aaah...it all comes together now.
Get some paint on those minis!
Nope. No time for that. I enjoy learning, playing and discussing games. Painting is a completely different hobby that I am not interested in.
Paint those minis! ;}
Nope! I either have time to learn, play and make videos for games, write and record music, and read and write about books, or paint minis. I've chosen wisely. :)
@@TheDungeonDive Fair enough, nice videos. Advanced Heroquest gets hardly any acknowledgement. Thanks for posting.
Doesn't come close to heroquest
The best is DUNGEON UNIVERSALIS ;)
Still waiting for it. Seems awesome.
I don't dislike advanced heroquest but my home brew advanced rules are more fun 😜
I think everyone plays homebrew rules these days. :) I use Enhanced AHQ.
@@TheDungeonDive my son and I enjoy the process of home brewing heroquest. Our newest additions were a "greed" treasure card that makes you immediately draw two more treasure cards at your own peril. Also the short bow which is just essentially a dagger that never runs out of ammo and can't be fired at close range. Also the crossbow needs a round to reload. The crossbow was the worst bit of game design in the original heroquest system lol
BROAD SOAD
Godammit, you beat me to it. I wanted to be the first in the comment section to say “BROADSOAD”.😀
Do you know the best thing about hero quest? 🤣🤣💚🇮🇪
The broadsword!
@@TheDungeonDive man I love hero quest, I have three of them(non complete). I'm really interested in the advanced, I think it might be the collector in me😁, but their prices shot up over the last year or two. I also was looking forward to the 25th anniversary one that was illegitimatly coming out. But that also was not ment to be😭. Where I'm from no one plays table top or role playing games so I just collect them. I suppose the nostalgic buzz will have to sufice💚🇮🇪
Please stop the hands things, it's dizzying :)
Have you ever heard of Allied heroquest? Bit of a mash up of a halfway house between both games. I have both games and find this a great way of mashing them together.
tocoking.be/ahq/files/AlliedHQ_Rulebook_DRAFT_Version1_8_1.pdf
I have but I’ve never played it. I’ve been meaning to check it out.
Yeah, we are currently playing Allied HQ. I use a VTT to digitally create the dungeons and cast on my table TV. Its been super fun.
That sounds awesome.
I keep going back and forth on when new portions of dungeon are meant to be generated by the GM. By my reading, I'm relatively sure that new sections are laid at the end of all heroes movement and actions, prior to the GM phase. Others I have played with generate the new rooms or corridors as they are encountered.
Literally only had 6 spells. I A4 sheet. Apart from that it was pretty good. Original was better.
Its not heroquest. No board. That are little things people dont get.
What i don t like in advanced Heroquest is that you roll one thousand dices, it s boring after 1 hour of that treatment... and sometimes you can have great adventures or depending only on luck only empty rooms that lead to close the box very quickly...
i think that advanced HQ have great background more adult than MB heroquest and can be a good intro to roleplaying but no furnitures, only skaven as bad guys and game time is too long.
Warhammer Quest is better to me
I did a whole video on empty tombs. I don’t mind that at all.
I hate the advanced Heroquest board, it is so ugly orange. The original Heroquest board is much nicer. I printed the original board as tiles.
Heroquest is better
Most people would probably agree with you. Congrats on being on the winning team!
What is it with the constant hand puppetry in so many UA-cam videos. So damn distracting.
Thanks for watching! I really appreciate your time and thoughtful comment.
@@TheDungeonDive Thanks for being so nice in your reply. I didn’t mean to sound nasty. Just taking the piss. 🙂
No prob. I think youtube attracts animated talkers. It's easier to convey emotion in audio/video when you talk with your whole body, and helps to make the voice sound not boring. :)
