Solo HeroQuest
|
|
I developed the following tables in an attempt to generate a random HQ quest for solo play. Admittedly, you lose a lot of the fun Hero interaction, and the monsters are all basically predictable in their actions. I'd also recommend making all the monsters have only 1-2 Body Points at most, or else you end up rolling an awful lot of dice to resolve a single battle.
On all tables, roll a single red die to determine the result. Most of the tables are geared towards more difficult traps, monsters, etc. on the numerically high end of the scale. You may also choose to use a modifier to the die roll (+2 for a really tough Quest, -1 for a fairly easy one, etc.). Some monsters and spells were taken from the Quest Pack for the Elf.
These tables could also be used to perhaps generate a Quest framework, if you will. I've tried to organize things fairly logically, so you don't get highly irrational combinations of monsters in adjacent rooms.
Enjoy!
