Bruce, Mr Castle, Mike, just wanted to say thanks for the info (I could't find on The Forge, depite searches). The links provided were just waht the doctor ordered!

I will get cracking and probably feedback to this group and/or The Forge about successes I have in using the HQ rules-set in introducing my nephew to retro dungeon bashing.

Muchos gracias!
Rusty
