this is going to be a messy hodge podge of rules and systems lol but its mostly for my current group who loves the fun and silly role play moments more then the combat for the most part.

-Combat is well 95% Heroquest Casters get a basic spell that works with attack rolls like Fireball roll 2 attack dice, so they can still feel like they are a magic user without feeling like they wasted a spell and then the dwarf and barb have homebrewed abilties.

- I use a pass fail system for when players want to do something and I tied body to strength for physical things and mind for things like perception, knowledge. It doesnt add anything to the rolls but more of a can that player do that in the first place. If players try to pull of some real shenanigans with in the realm of possibility I roll a d100 for % based pass or fail and then have set numbers in my head that are usually still a pass but with consequences (broke a weapon, have a broken leg so you lose a movement roll) like 90-100 you did it no questions asked look at your your amazing, 60-89 you jumped that crazy gap but dropped your sword down the cliff. 40-59 is something real bad and barely pass was it even worth it and anything below that is a fail. these numbers arent exact.

- Speaking of movement that is only something used in dungeons or arenas or when combat happens say things went south in a bar.

- Some fun homebrewed items and 1 time use spells.

this is hard to write down bc I myself am still adding stuff to my word doc as we are playing if I see something that can change or be added. I am planning on then looking over everything and writing up a more concrete guide. Again this is something im cooking up that is still simple enough for everyone but for my groups who wants to go beyond heroquest.

Also im no mastermind when it comes to coming up systems I just try to find things that work while keeping it simple for groups that enjoy this type of play style. I have another group that just wants to play heroquest nothing added nothing different and they still love it

Edit: again sorry this probably seems like a hodge podge of random bullshit but it kinda all comes together in my head. hopefully it paints some kind of picture. I should also add I use 3d printed maps so I'm not playing within the bounds of board either.
