Thank-you for the unboxing. I got it coming in the mail shortly. I have been looking around youtube and not seen one unboxing of the Hero Quest 2023 version. The board looks like it may be smaller or the box is larger because I have a small spacer for one side of the board, the other looks the same. Also the miniatures are packed loosely and have a protective sleeve keeping them in place which will make many of the painers happy so they don't have to buy the foam.

Thanks for this video! In the Rogue Heir box there is a letter hinting towards this quest, and the Heir's possible interest in it. I assume that's not covered in this, by which I mean, I assume the Elf only items continue to be Elf only even though the Rogue is technically an Elf. Is that right?

there is still plenty to explore in the new campaign! lots of new traps and puzzles. For storage of my new game system i kind of have been just throwing everything together in the box. for the cards i use rubber bands (size carefully selected for minimal pressure on the cards) and for the minis I use a couple of plastic bins that separate them into green, white, red, and everything else. Only because the plastic is pretty sturdy and will bend instead of break. it's not a pretty or well organized solution though.

The Rogue does have abilities. Or do you mean homebrewing the elf spells with the Rogue? I think the nomenclature will have a lot of people questioning it, but the Rogue and the elf are mechanically very different. While the Rogue is portrayed as an elf, he isn't called the Rogue elf; rather he is a different class entirely, while the elf is ever the spellsword, amplified by the new exclusive armor and spell selection in MotM.

@@AmalgamAsh Maybe the possible gender virtue signaling is a reference to the change from He/Him or She/Her, to They/Them? When I was growing up, it was common to write "he." "The player states "he" will move his model 3 spaces, then picks up his model and moves it." That kind of thing was common when I was a boy. Far as I knew (and all the women in my life have said the same), women understood that the "he" could refer to them too, as the player. It wasn't really a big deal that the masculine was used for what could be a "mixed" crowd. It wasn't viewed as an insult or slight. Times have changed. Some things for the better. Many things for the worse. I now live in the land of the easily offended. I think it's silly they felt a need to change to they/them. I also think it's silly to get offended too much that they made that change. Great coverage of the expansion!!! I appreciate your comparisons and sharing your thoughts about the system. Looking forward to many more releases. Can't wait to get my copy. Keep it up!!
