One of our business goals at Moon Design is to make sure as much money as possible from the sales of our books goes to the writers and artists who make these books possible, and not to middlemen. To that end, we have gone with the eCommerce vendors that charge us the smallest transaction fees while maintaining security and accountability. Unfortunately, that means being able to integrate our vendors is far beyond our limited abilities – we are writers and artists, not programmers!

Tell me about the HeroQuest Core Rules

Anything you can imagine, you can play…

HeroQuest is the innovative, dynamic, and flexible rules engine by Robin Laws, suitable for play in any genre or setting. It present a simple and flexible system that allows Game Masters to make decisions the way authors and screenwriters do when creating novels, TV episodes and movies.  HeroQuest encourages creative input from your players, resulting in an exciting, unpredictable narrative created through group collaboration. Its  resolution methods and scalable character levels make it equally suited for any genre, from epic fantasy to satirical soap opera. Whether your next game idea draws on horror, war, westerns, martial arts, pulps, cyberpunk, cliff-hangers, giant robots, super-powered heroes, space opera, cop action, corporate intrigue, furry animals, swashbuckling adventure, Greek tragedy or even drawing room comedy, HeroQuest can handle it! You can even use HeroQuest to emulate a musical – although it won’t do the singing or dancing for you.

Completely rewritten by Robin Laws, this new edition opens and details running the core system for any genre.
