Recruiting! The Dragonknights - The boardgame. (Calling evileeyore)

[Rayex]

This is an old Boardgame, somewhat similar to games like HeroQuest, D&D The Boardgame, etc.
I'd like to try to play this as a pbp game, and will need 4 players to get this game running.
The rules are quite simple and easy to learn.

If anyone is interested in this, I'll post more info.

Well, I loved and still loved heroquest, but I never heard of this one. If you can give me more info I'm interested.

I dont really know what the game was originally called, I only got the Norwegian version. So everything will be translated.

The game is much like HeroQuest, only with less rules.
Each player has a Hero on a quest. You got 2 actions each round, and actions you can do include Move, Fight and Search.
You get weapons, armor and Special Items throughout the game, giving better attack, defence and other abilities.
Each Hero start out as a Page, and can rise in rank, lastly to become a Master.

I am certainly interested. I used to HeroQuest back about a decade ago for my roommate. So while my skills and knowledge is a tad rusty, I am familiar with the concepts.

Are there different Hero types? I seem to recall that it was more like Old School D&D.

Originally all are Fighter-Heroes.
I got a Thief and a Hunter variation though, if that is desired.

Ok, I've descided to start the recruiting now.

I'll need 2-4 players.
Classes available: Warrior, Hunter and Thief.

Sounds interesting. How long would a normal game take to complete?

 

[Rayex]

To be honest, I have no idea.
This will be the first time I run a game like this.
This game will go in turns, so if one player is MIA for a week, not much can happen there, unless I auto-pilot his/her character.

 

[Knight Otu]

I meant, if played normally as a board game, not online?

 

[Rayex]

Ah,ok.

Last time I played, one Scenario was played through in one hour. With the game, there is a Campaign with 6 scenarios, we played through the game in 6-7 hours.
