Those of us who remember the old gloranthan art still cringe I think.............Its rather difficult to show a old runequest picture of an elf to a newcomer to hero wars without them bursting into laughter...........in recent years the artwork situation has improved a 1000 fold and yet still one new gloranthan picture or piece of artwork/landscape photograph IS worth a 100 words .........I think the cardboard figures are a wonderful idea..they are a playing NOT a hobby like minifigs,plus the cost is much much lower.
The landscapes of gloranthan need some working on as well .this refering people to an old out of print book just is not good enough, if need be get out there with your camera's whilst on holiday and take some pictures and put them on the web.
The end of this rant is .......if we don't actively encourage a new influx of new players by these sort of methods and techniques...the game of hero wars /heroquest will be become (sadly) history.....so if you love the game and you can draw.......well enough said...
best wishes
