Navigate your way to the highlights:

Karma is a Harsh Mistress

A two (and a half) part quest inspired by Hall of the Dead, an old Conan the Barbarian story. It’s a difficult solo adventure released too early due to crunch culture in the HQ industry.

Ian’s Beautiful Dungeon Mats

This reimagining of the HQ base quests were created in part as proof of concept, in part for shits and giggles when packaging Ian Schofield’s dungeon mats for HeroScribe.

Wrath of Kahn

A five part quest inspired by an old Conan the Barbarian story, The Hand of Nergal. Expect Toth—I’m sorry—Tusk Amon to make an appearance. Also expect terrible Star Trek references.

A Murder Most Foul

This two part adventure for Hero Quest was inspired by an old Conan the Barbarian story, The God in the Bowl. Take your barbarian hero for a spin and solo it for extra immersion.

Elves and Trolls

A two part quest created for the new First Light alternate Hero Quest board. It was inspired by a very old (ancient even) TTRPG adventure. Points for who can name the game.

    For several moons you have served as mercenaries under King Torgul in the war-torn lands of the Seltuk Empire. The bounty has been plenty, your enemies driven before you, and some lamentation has been heard. But eventually all good things must come to an end, and you find yourself fighting a pitched battle in the

  • A Murder Most Foul, part 2

    No sooner had your weapons felled the demon, than it rose again. Not in undeath, but simply unkillable. You escaped down a flight of stairs into the catacombs beneath the temple. Down into dark empty halls, where only the dead keep company. You barred the first door you came upon, but the winged beast is

  • A Murder Most Foul, part 1

    Returned from your latest high adventure and back in the city of Byzantia, you decided to visit your old friend Kalan the Priest—only to find him dead, and yourselves implicated in his murder.
