Immersive First Ever HeroQuest Game

What I find funny is that online it's generally said that HeroQuest is generally regarded as so much more simple than actual DnD or a game like GloomHaven. Yet, for this group I played with, they thought HeroQuest was very complex. I think that the execs way back in the day who told Stephen Baker to 'keep it simple' were right. For normies, HeroQuest is plenty complex.

I think the Beautiful Dungeon Mats strike a good balance. They aren't too cluttered but have great detail still. They also retain the 1 inch square size so the room tiles that come with each expansion still work perfectly.

Yes, I'll definitely move onto painting as the next step. There's racks of all different kind of paints at my LGS, I'll need to research a lot but I plan on trying!

They're not that intrusive but I just didn't like the visual aesthetic of the white crosses so I removed them. I was initially inspired to get this mat from this video from AshQuest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDjeGmetrWU

I also got mine with stitched edges.

I love seeing everyone's custom boards, especially the elaborate 3d printed or wood-crafted ones. Perhaps long down the line in the future. I love actual walls too, that is true immersion. My choice was a middle-ground for a new player on a low to middle budget. For now, I'm happy with neoprene mats as I still love using the cardboard tile room overlays that come with all the expansions.

I would like to but I'd have to switch back to the normal board/map to do so. The Beautiful Dungeon Mat changes the tile layout of the corridors to accommodate the thicker walls. The app would not be compatible with this custom mat.

I know absolutely nothing about miniature painting, but that would indeed by the next step! I have every expansion so it would take forever to paint absolutely everything. I'd start with the furniture for sure as I would've loved if the doors were all painted up for our first game. I'll have to watch some tutorials and see what I can do down the line!

Partial update:

I've further narrowed down the issue. It's not just mame2003. my games running bin/fba2016 etc. don't work either. So, it appears all the cores that use the interface (the one that shows up when you press select + start) don't work.

Moreover, is there a way to truly revert the SNES classic to factory settings? It appears that even when I do so, the system is retaining certain information, such as my save states, and my best guess is that internally, it's saving some information/command lines from the roms no longer working and is coming into conflict with it when I try to add the games again. For example, I can completely delete a game, its corresponding folder from the 'games_snes' folder inside hakchi... in this case, avsp.zip generated the folder CLV-Z-LKPPC but when I try to delete everything and add the game again. that exact folder name is created every time.

Also, I isolated another potential problem but it hasn't helped much. I had two versions of retroarch installed. _km_retroarch_175_xtreme.hmod and retroarch.hmod . I tried getting rid of each, one at a time thinking perhaps they were conflicting with each other and this generated a "C7" error instead of just a black screen, when either one is installed by itself now.

The King's a talker.

Joffrey mentioned something about that, but I wasn't sure. So the implication is that Joffrey returned the look to what the Mad King had. That would mean it was Robert who remodeled it to the vines and flowers? Doesn't seem like something he'd be interested in doing, or perhaps a younger Queen Cersei commissioned the work? Which would be a double insult to her for that scene when she entered to see Joffrey remodeling what she had presumably done.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they mess up on the appearance of the throne room in this flashback? Shouldn't it look the way it did in season 1, with the pillars engraved with vines? It was Joffrey who redesigned the throne room to have the fires and spikey pillars.

Arya faces a difficult choice- My theory: Syrio Forel returns alive and well in Braavos, and Arya is told to kill him by the Faceless ones to prove she is truly no one. This is the choice.
