Temporarily: Risen Hero on Hold

For the past month I have put Risen hero on hold and  it will likely be for the next moth or so. I am hoping this break will re-energize me once I get back to building, much like the break between chapters 1 and 2.

I have started work on the community campaign, which is shaping up to be one hell of a game! I will be contributing 2 quest to this game. One of the quest will involve Horgath, seen in previous community campaigns (Halloween and SOZ expansion). I am hoping to develop a bit more of his back story, the conclusion to his story will be in the Risen Hero campaign (part of chapter 2, the next release).

I don't want to give away any spoilers of the community game, but I look forward to it; there are a number of very talented community members working on it.

On a separate note.
I have broke out my old HeroQuest board game by MB, and I have been playing it with my two boys (6 & 8). It is a fun run down memory lane and a great experience with my kids. It is fun watching their reactions as I describe the room they enter or seeing the fun in their faces as they slaughter goblins and orcs.

Heroquest ... I had the Amiga computer version of that game and loved it!

It was simple and addictive .. :)

The simplicity of the game is great. It give the younger kids a understanding of the rules and an idea of how to play without overwhelming them. I figure eventually I can start introducing some other dnd rules.
The wizards of the coast website has a great set of articles about playing with younger children. I have been using some of the advice I found there and it is definately making the experience a good one for everyone.

I can definately feel your pain Wyrin.
