I think it’s universally agreed that the most magical part of Warhammer Quest 1995 is the Roleplay Book.
That’s what I’d really like to see in the next iteration of Warhammer Quest.
Since the ’95 version, the game has shrunk. Monster, treasure, actions, and adventure types have been reduced. And that’s OK for the most part. But eventually the beauty of running a GM-less game that nearly rivals a full roleplaying experience has slipped away.
I’d really like to see a Roleplay-like book make a comeback.
The Soulbound Ulfenkarn source book is somewhat along those lines. It provides a lot of flavor and adventure prompts. I’ve flipped through my copy, it’s very cool. Game Master (GM) needed though.
One of the best parts about Warhammer Quest 1995 is that everyone can be a hero, no GM required.
And, I’d say that we’re due a new installment:
- 1995 – Original Warhammer Quest is released
- 2015 – Warhammer Quest the Card Game (20 year anniversary)
- 2016 – Silver Tower is released (1 year later)
- 2017 – Shadows Over Hammerhal (1 year later)
- 2018 – Blackstone Fortress (1 year later)
- 2021 – Cursed City (3 years later)
- 2022 – Lost Relics (1 year later)
- 2025 -??? Come on! It’s the 30th anniversary of Warhammer Quest! (it’s been 3 years since the Lost Relics mini game, and 4 years since the full-sized edition of Cursed City)
We’re currently in the longest Warhammer Quest drought in a decade!
Original WHQ debuted in April 1995, fingers crossed for something this month! But I’d definitely settle for something this year.
