HeroQuest Gold Edition
Based principally on Games Workshops's excellent Advanced HeroQuest. This reworking uses a freeform style of play based on a D12 success roll mechanic. Retaining the simplicity of the original, but allowing a wider range of choices and styles of play against a darker, grittier and more dangerous backdrop. This section contains an introductions & full rules & resources for the HeroQuest Gold Edition.
An original 'Smoking Gnu' production board game, concept created in autumn 2006 for 2-4 players (one and five player variants now also) set with a Doctor Who / Torchwood theme in which players take four characters, Gwen Cooper, Mickey Smith, Rose Tyler and Martha Jones who must search the city of Cardiff to recover the four pieces of the Rift Manipulator Key before the Rift Activity tears the City apart. Aided by the Hub organic computer that scans the city, identifying hot-spot areas of alien activity, unfortunately only by searching the area can you determine whether the reading originated from alien artefacts that may assist your in your mission or from hostile aliens bent on your destruction.
