Keen follower of your channel and have found this video in my quest to identify tiles I found in a mystery box of vintage heroquest. Turns out I have a lot of the floor tiles and 3 of the weapon cards! Have only now realised they relate to Advanced Heroquest and not Heroquest Advanced Quest.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Nice. That's a really lucky find. They are hard to come by!

[@jeremycarnes1656]

This is AWESOME. My friend, please make more stuff like this. This is just amazing. ABNB line of (A)HQ expansions now!

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.

[@jeremycarnes1656]

@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring this isn't just fan gushing when I say this. I seriously think you should consider table top game design. Even on an independent local level, you could make some great stuff.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

That's very kind of you. I have tinkered with game design in the past, but I honestly don't think I could find the time right now. It takes so much energy to put out three videos a week for the channel, and I would love to do even more videos than that if I could.

[@davidk6269]

Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for sharing this!

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

[@redgreen09]

well great stuff and have good time paying and will get to nest vid

[@SoldSanke]

Very based take on these classic gaming materials and sources. Since the reseller prices are out of control, let's say f... rick them, and use what we can have. Cheers!🍻

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

The prices for Terror in the Dark are really ridiculous these days.

[@rodgertoner5705]

Another great video. Lucky enough to find my in my parents attic 4 years ago. Thought it had been thrown out!

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

That's a great find. You're very lucky.

[@Alittlefruitgoesalongway]

I've considered doing this for a base copy of warhammer quest or advanced heroquest, and saving my money purely for trying to aquire some of the awesome classic miniatures

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

I do like saving pennies for buying classic miniatures.

[@HivisoftheScale]

Quite industrious of you. I am most impressed.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

It was the only option until I win the lottery. And I don't even play the lottery.

[@noprobllama9747]

Nice video. I like your resourcefulness.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Thanks. They say necessity is the mother of invention!

[@stevenray8737]

Nice job! 😎

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Thank you.

[@genestealerz]

Love your AHQ content! I'll try to make a high resolution scan at work of my Terror in the Dark weapon cards. In case you want to remake them.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

That would be great. They were the only thing I wasn't really happy with. But don't put yourself to any trouble!

[@scottbaker2451]

Great video. I've got a copy with sellotaped box edges because it was so flimsy. I'm guessing they didn't sell many of these because it was towards the tail end of GW's investment in HQ and Advanced was less popular than the original. When I was putting my copies together, I ended up scouring eBay for doors without broken hinges.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Ha. I did a video on Advanced Heroquest doors a while back. Finding intact examples is always a fun adventure! You're very lucky to have a copy of Terror in the Dark; it's not easy to find in any condition!

[@Heroes_of_Qalanor_RPG]

Great stuff.. I too am a huge fan of AHQ - best rules light rpg ever. Happy to have a game some time if you're anywhere near Dorset.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

It's my fourth favourite game of all time, and my main hobby game, really. Hunting down the miniatures and period accurate accessories is a big part of the enjoyment for me. Afraid I don't tend to travel much. I am chained to my video and hobby desk most of the time!

[@jonathan2950]

I was one of the people worrying my copy of Terror in the Dark was a bootleg! The corridor tiles definitely aren’t as nice as the ones in the base game, but once you have them laid out on the table and are playing a game they fit in just fine. I also didn’t pay those ridiculous prices you had up on screen, although it wasn’t cheap either. Luckily the number of vintage GW games I want to buy aren’t that numerous, so I was ok paying the high price for this expansion. Now the expansions for Warhammer Quest 95 are another thing entirely! 🤣

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Glad to hear you managed to pick up a copy without paying the truly crazy prices being asked for the expansion at the moment. Terror in the Dark is actually packed with gameplay content, but the physical components - especially with so many of them being more of the same from the core set - don't justify the prices that the expansion can go for. Quest 95 is now definitely in the realms of the most avid collectors and those with deep pockets!

[@robertlykins728]

You did it the right way

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

I can't ever see myself being in a position where I think it's okay to throw over £300 on this expansion.

[@iLostAgenToday]

Very impressive! I did the same thing for Frozen Horror and Mage of the Mirror.. then they re-released them 😅 it’s a shame us fans have little chance of owning original copies.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

I'm very lucky to have original copies of lots of amazing vintage games, but Terror in the Dark was a bridge too far. At the moment, at least.

[@iLostAgenToday]

@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring I agree, you never know what will happen in the future 👍🏻

[@robins5314]

At least the Advanced Heroquest paint set had figures and stat's not in the base game, even if they were from other sources. But thoses sort of prices for just a paper and card release is ridiculous!

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Yeah, the paint set came with one sprue of the Fantasy Regiments box (the first box of miniatures I ever bought!) and a frame of the skeletons from the Skeleton Army box (the second box of miniatures I ever bought), plus another set of the heroes, which was a really cool addition. GW could have easily thrown in a few more of those sprues in Terror in the Dark, especially the skeletons, which you need for the included campaign. (Funnily enough I have a video about Fantasy Regiments coming up soon.)

[@goodjessehobbies]

Hell yeah! I just wrapped up making my own set of expansion tiles for WHQ95! And I made about 600 cards by hand.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

That's a real labour of love!

[@jonathan2950]

How did you make the room tiles for the WHQ95 expansions? I’m about to do the same. Did you use the same method shown here or something different? And how do they compare to the original room tiles when in use? Sorry for all the questions 😂

[@goodjessehobbies]

@@jonathan2950 I printed them out and used permanent glue stick to glue them to chip board, then cut them out with a box cutter and straight edge. As far as where I got digital files, Broheim/whq95 and various google searches. Also I joined Littlemonk's runboard. They work fantastic. They arent exact but Ive found that when on the table and covered in models it really doesnt need to be exact.

[@jonathan2950]

With the modge podge, do coat the top, bottom and edges with it, or just the top? I’ve never used it before but will definitely be buying some to undertake my own project for the WHQ95 expansions

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

The satin mod podge is for the front face. It protects the art and gives it the satin finish. If you coat the sides and bottom you would want to use PVA that dries matte. I don’t coat the bottom because the uncoated card I mount the grey board to matches the card on the base of original AHQ tiles.

[@johnmiddleton4291]

Don't the WD adventures use a bunch of the other tiles from the RPG sets? I haven't looked at any of that stuff if quite a while.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Not that I recall, but never-the-less, they are really useful for when you are doing your own adventures.

[@penstroke2536]

I got a copy of mighty warriors for less than £40. It can be worth it just for the miniatures alone.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Mighty Warriors is pretty terrible, but it's an excellent source for map tiles and miniatures. I would say definitely worth the price.

[@opiesmith9270]

I’m looking to do the same thing, my copy of AHQ is in the mail, can’t stomach what terror in the dark is going for $500-$900! Anyone know where I can find scans for this expansion online?

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Scribd has the pdf you need for the book. I don't remember where I downloaded the tokens and maps. I found them through a Google search.

[@kaninersynger]

Hey there, thought i might be able to help you out for ones. i got a unpunched version of this one. i could scan my set so you get better quality on the bords like the special items and the room you where missing.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

That's very kind of you. I got good quality scans for everything except the four item cards, so I'm not missing anything, and really the only thing I would probably consider remaking are the four items. Don't put yourself to any trouble, but thank you so much for the offer.

[@kaninersynger]

@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring i scanned the 4 weapons, but seems i can't link them here

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Thank you. Unfortunately, you won't be able to link it in the comments here. I can be contacted using the email address found in the "about" section of my KZbin channel, or you can private message me through Facebook if you like.

[@ChazM003]

Any pointers on where to find the ruleset on the internet?

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Scribd.

[@modollaz8116]

The only thing original that I would want is the rule book.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

It's a shame the original rules for the expansion have such light printing. It's an interesting expansion though, because it is so easy to reproduce, especially these days when - if you aren't worried about things looking original - you can easily source replacements.

[@EriktheRed2023]

The real terror in this dark seems to be the exorbitant prices. *badum-tsss* Seriously, very sensible, and not a little cool. Do you have any idea what sort of miniatures you'll get for this with all the money you saved?

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

I only wish I magically had £320 floating in my pocket for new miniatures. I've treated myself to a few things recently - which, as always, I will show on the channel at some point - but if I buy anything else right now it will be paint to get through my huge queue of work!

[@pcuimac]

The floor plans are generic floors GW sold seperately for WHFRP. They were available long before Advanced HQ came out. They are cheaply made. The whole "expansion" was just a half backed money grab.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

In my previous video on Advanced Heroquest I talked about how the artwork for the floorplans was all originally from their RPG floorplan sets. They are recolorised and some have had a grid added though, so they aren't just straight reprints. So, in some cases the same art was used in three places - the RPG dungeon rooms, Advanced Heroquest, and Mighty Warriors - but they all have slight differences.
