A long time ago, in a basement far, far away, I ran several games of Warhammer Quest for
friends from the comic store and church (no, really!) and had a great time. I also played
Advanced HeroQuest and Warhammer Fantasy Battles; at the time, the various "Character
Packs" were not yet available. I happened to have a Troll Slayer miniature, but was
perplexed by the lack of a statistics card to go with the rules that were included with the
game. So, I made my own, and I didn't stop there.
I have only recently (as of this writing) recovered some of my old PageMaker documents that I used to make player handouts and game references for Warhammer Quest, and I've endeavored to try to convert them into a more widely usable format (Adobe Acrobat .pdf files) so that I can share them with other Warhammer Quest fans on the Internet. This is an incomplete collection, and as I find the time to go back and polish things up, I'll add more. This is dedicated to my original band of brave questers, and to those few and far between of you who actually found some of my old Warhammer Quest articles floating around the Internet and bothered to write back to me to let me know you liked them.
Mostly, all I have to offer is a grab bag assortment of .pdf files, grouped into .zip archives. You will need Acrobat Reader to use these documents. For some professions, all I have are the statistics cards. For others, I have accompanying rules, and some equipment card templates. As I find them (or recreate them), I'll try to dig up alternate spell decks, treasure cards, floor plans, and perhaps even an adventure or two.
I also have a number of old EPS files produced from CorelDRAW, as I made my own designs for
dungeon sections and special tiles to mark off locations on them. I found that the process of
converting these to Acrobat format files resulted in painfully large file sizes. So as not
to waste bandwidth and hard drive space, I am making these available in EPS format ... but in
order to actually use them, you will need some program capable of reading and printing
EPS. One such package would be GhostWriter and GhostView. (You may find various other programs
to be more convenient.)
In the meantime, here's what I have. To those Warhammer Quest fans out there, I hope you can get some use out of these. Happy Questing!
Pagemaker Files
In case you actually have Aldus/Adobe Pagemaker 5.0 or higher, here are some (compressed)
Pagemaker files that I used to make my statistics cards. Not only will you probably get
better results than if you try to mess with the EPS files, but you'll have templates that you
can modify to make your own custom characters with a minimum of fuss.
