Dungeons Rooms (1986) preceded Dungeon Lairs (which we saw some sheets from Wednesday). It feels very much like a companion to Halls of Horror, except with slightly more fantasy-oriented visuals. The Wizard’s Study, the weird ass throne room and the morgue are my favorites, but there are a lot to love here!

Return of the Witch Lord (1991) is the second HeroQuest expansion. This is the US version, with its sad repaint of Les Edward’s superior cover painting that appears in the UK release. It’s basically the same again, ten more scenarios, but with undead. There is a rad throne room tile, too.
This re-paint has a signature, Talbot. The only artist I could initially think of with that name is Bryan Talbot. Pretty sure now, after getting a copy of Powers & Perils, that they are the work of James Talbot (who also did some Tunnels & Trolls covers, as it happens). The original Les Edwards is from Blood & Iron.
As a counterweight to the GM facilitating the game, include an anti-GM whose job is to actively prevent the game.
Combat idea: you deal more damage based on the obscurity of the pop-cultural reference you make while rolling.
Dungeon Floor Plans: Caverns (1986) does for natural, erratic tunnels what Dungeon Floor Plans did for straight, artificial spaces. The idea was to cut them out of the full sheets and arrange them as you needed them. Of course, that might mean they worked for tonight’s session and not tomorrow night’s, but I don’t think Games Workshop minded if you had to buy another box every now and then.
Whoever owned these boxes before me tossed most of the contents of Dungeon Lairs (1987) in with this one. These move from the cut-and-play tunnels into cards for individual rooms and I think they are more usable. At the very least, they have a lot more personality. Dig that Chaos Temple and the Barrow in particular.

Being from the United States, the least interesting place HeroQuest saw release, it makes sense that I would own the two least interesting expansions to the game. This is the first, Kellar’s Keep (1991).
The smaller box contains a heap of orcs, goblins and fimir, as well as a couple new doors (entrance and exit) and some new floor tiles. There are ten new scenarios, intended to be played in order (as the Keep is a linear space). There are some new spells and items. There’s a big stone map in four pieces that needs to be reassembled, and a giant boulder trap. There are no real mechanical changes; the heroes are overpowered; the dice are random. This is pretty literally more of the same.
We don’t get more of one key thing, however: Les Edwards’ amazing artwork. For some bizarre reason (perhaps to facilitate the horizontal quest book?) the gnarly, highly detailed painting by Les Edwards was repainted with the same composition but a simpler style. It’s…fine, but I vastly prefer the original (which I have included, as originally published in Blood & Iron). Really sad they removed the falling orc and Les’ background is way more dynamic. Poor job, Milton Bradley!

I've just been reading @indestructoboy.bsky.social's Vagabond: Pulp Fantasy Roleplaying Game, one of the best things to come out of the OGL scandal, a game which has a Dancer class. #DnD
