I like the unique goblins and wandering monster variety with the dwarf ghosts appearing. Very clever. The tomb riddle is great too, and I like the note about beer haha. I do wish the players had a clue about the correct answer however. Perhaps in the quest text or when a dwarf ghost wandering monster appears and blesses the hero. Great humor and clever gameplay mechanics throughout!
I LOVE the name of the different goblin types in this quest :) allowing for Zargon flexibility is always nice to see too. It's a bit of a shame that the riddle appears to be optional verses part of the quest - but this is a minor point when the overall quest is considered. Great work and best of luck!

Hello ! First, sorry for my bad english if i were to leave mistakes. ^^"

So, we played "Nigrud the goblin assassin" last week-end ! : )

First, thank you for this nice quest. Alongside the pdf, the card and the images accompaniying your submission are a nice touch to set the mood. We really had a good time.

The dwarves and goblins thematic is very well illustrated here and this quest has an ambiance and... a soul.

When we play a heroquest's quest, we like to have fun, good challenge (with a good balance of difficulty), a game that is neither too long nor too short and a little somethings that adds identity and make it memorable. Your quest has all of this.

***

SPOILERWARNING

- The utilisation of the differents goblins miniatures is a very good idea. This provides tactical choices for Zargon and diversity in the gameplay situations.

- Nice allusion to Durgin.

- The dwarves are my favorite fantasy race and you capture their spirit ( ;) ) very well .

- Moon-moon ! ^^

thank very much for your reply. I love that other people besides my own group play the Quest i made . I have not had a reaction of someone playing yet until now. Hope the riddle was not to hard .
I going to try some of the other jamquests with my group but their are so many and i am glad if we play ones in a month 😅 so that will take long unless i get a second group.

again thank you and good luck with your quest i will tell you when i had time to play it its one of the view i already downloaded

The riddle is perfect if the adventurers know even a little bit about dwarves. The players guessed correctly and it was a cool moment (my favorite, i think).

I'm lucky to have some heroquest fans at home so we can play more regularly but for years, it was also a game every two or three months ! ^^

If your group play my quest one day or another (and even if you play others), i wish you all a good time !
