A new game by the Grand Masters of Roleplaying
HeroQuest, Roleplaying in Glorantha is the culmination of 27 years of design, creation, and revision. Says president Stafford, "For 27 years I've said it would be out 'next year.' Well, now it is next year. HeroQuest will be released 'this year,' after it goes through the entire editorial process. I am excited to finally have this ready for the world."

completeness, and correctness.

them newly written by Greg Stafford, who originated the narrative style of
examples over 20 years ago.
· New Layout! A handsome interior format makes full use of the artwork,
runes, and other graphic elements for which Glorantha has always been known.
A Game of Discovery
The layout, contents, and presentation of HeroQuest encourages players to
discover the world of Glorantha. Entry is simple, and its exploration a
part of the story, campaign, and mythology. Only the minimal information in
this book is required, but deeper exploration is encouraged online and in
our supplements.
A Game of Adventure
The core HeroQuest rules book includes everything needed to play fun,
colorful, and adventurous characters. Character creation itself is a part
of the adventure. Players, not game designers, have control over the
abilities and magic available to their heroes, allowing them to create
their characters and begin adventuring almost immediately.
A Game of Heroes
HeroQuest encourages players to adventure into the myths and conflicts of
an ancient and magical world.
Everyone is a hero in HeroQuest.

Issaries, Inc. answers
Frequently Asked Questions about
HeroQuest, Roleplaying in Glorantha
Is this the board game? The one with the cool toys? No, it is not. HeroQuest, Roleplaying in Glorantha is a new game by award-winning game designers Robin D. Laws and Greg Stafford, based on the world of Glorantha. The world of Glorantha has been subject of many games, including RuneQuest by Chaosium and Avalon Hill, the Dragon Pass and Nomad Gods board games, and the King of Dragon Pass computer game by A Sharp LLC.
What about Games Workshop? Don't they have a Trademark? No, not any more. The board game Heroquest is out of print and no longer available. Games Workshop allowed their trademark to lapse. Issaries, Inc. is now using the HeroQuest trademark.
Is this Hero Wars 2nd Edition?
No, this is HeroQuest. Hero Wars is now the name of the book series for
playing HeroQuest in "modern" Glorantha. The Hero Wars roleplaying game is
no longer in print. Although HeroQuest contains the same basic rules system
as Hero Wars, every section and element has been streamlined and revised.
All of the rules, examples, and player keywords have been completely
rewritten. Although previous Hero Wars supplements are compatible with
HeroQuest, the game is better, faster, and stronger than it was before.
