Reply To: Could Heroquest be finally coming back again?

Id suggest Sword and Sorcery or Shadows of Brimstone as some of the non Narrative focused crawlers that tick the most boxes from someone who has come from a heroquest background (I had Kellers Keeps, Return of the Witch King, Ogre Horde, and Wizard of Morcar) originally. I like Super Dungeon Explore but it doesn’t scratch the same itch, nor does Gloomhaven, I felt Dungeon Saga fell flat and its advanced rules positiively sucked so I wouldn’t recommend that to anyone.

Descent I feel (I have 1st and 2nd edition might get 3rd edition which was just teased depending on what it brings) is something different its at its best when played verses a Overlord who is semi trying to win unlike games like heroquest where they are a guide. Its competitive though not entirely so because overly competitive overlords seem to get a bad reputation so its a bit of a balancing act but as someone who loves the role its dungeon crawling at its best when you’ve got the right people.
