Reply To: Could Heroquest be finally coming back again?

If you specifically want something with very similar rules and  a very similar feel to Warhammer Quest then I’d heartily recommend Nova Aetas and Darklight: Memento Mori. Darklight moreso than Nova Aetas. Nova Aetas has the feel but Darklight has similar rules as well as the feel (right down to putting the miniatures for slain monsters on your character sheet as trophies).

Darklight is a sort of Dark Souls style post apocalyptic fantasy where souls are a currency (like Dark Souls) but after every quest death comes for the heroes and they have to give him a soul. If the only soul they have is their own he takes it and they die. Fortunately he’s willing to take the souls of slain monsters allowing the heroes to live which is why souls are such a valuable commodity in this world.

Nova Aetas, on the other hand is a fantasy alternate Italian renaissance. So your heroes are playing a part in the power struggle between the Pope and the Italian Nobles with the endangered species of myth (fawns, satyrs, centaurs etc) as a third faction. You might want to hold off on Nova Aetas ‘though. it’s a lovely game but it’s getting overhauled for a second edition with improved rules, vastly improved miniature sculpts, and a kickstarter allegedly coming some time in the next month.
