HeroQuest may not need figures, but my players like them and so do I. They're great for setting the scene. Playing HeroQuest is like a film or a TV show. This is not Am-Dram and so HeroQuest requires fine actors on the set to scene and extras to fill the set out.

(I'm a 15mm fan and there's nothing like presenting players with a Balazaring citadel map covered in tiny pigs and them wondering how to tell the escape plan - roll on Pavis).
