HeroQuest 2.0 Play-test EMD&DMUG part 1.
Actual Play
This is a play-test game of the new HeroQuest 2.0 rules that took place at the East Midlands D&D Meet Up Group's monthly meet that took place at The Brunswick Inn, Derby on Saturday 14th June 2008 at 14:00.
This scenario is called 'Winter Warriors' and deals with player characters that worship the Goddess of Snow, Inora and their dealings with the long and cold Fimbelwinter. The players are Chris and Simon.
Part 1 suffers from a technical hitch as half the sound was lost so you only really hear me and not the players. I tried my best to boost the sound so I hope that you can manage to hear the other players.
Running Time: 01:28:26.
Air & Motion-Session 2 part 1.
