- I like the mechanics in this quest - the use of the dice to dictate the door behaviour and the requirement of keys to progress will make the adventurers explore - but there is the case where they have to know they need the keys first and foremost... Great quest and best of luck!
- The parchment text is compelling and the mechanic for the door on the way out adds some tension to the finale. However, with possibly one hero isolated from the rest of the group with only the roll of the die to save them, that sequence might take some time to play out. That as well as the double-locked treasure chamber and the rotating room could stack up to be a long night. It’s possible the heroes could return to the door after visiting only one upper corner of the quest, and find they must backtrack to unlock both barred doors.

Hello,
I'm going to play your quest with my heroquest group next week-end. I love the variety of monsters used in your quest, the difficulty balance seems reasonable and the board design seems to provide good exploration.
Maybe i will sugest to my heroes to try to divide the group for spicing up the fight.
Thanks for the sharing and best luck for the Jam ! ; )

Cool, let me know what you think of it! I plan to release a "Directors Cut" of sorts once judging concludes as I really had to trim the quest down and remove some things to conform to the constraints of the Jam rules. The "Directors Cut" will restore these elements.
Ok ! It's cool. I'm looking forward for your "Directors Cut" ! : )
