What Is RandomQuest?
RandomQuest is a new, GameMaster-less way to play HeroQuest. Dungeons are created randomly, as is monster placement and treasure.

RandomQuest is loosely based on the card system found in Warhammer Quest. It uses card decks to determine passages, rooms, monsters, and treasures. Quests from any source can be played in RandomQuest - HeroQuest quests, Advanced HeroQuest quests, Warhammer Quest quests, Dungeon and Dragons, etc.

RandomQuest was designed so that any number of Heroes can play. Solo questing is easy, as is multi-Hero parties. Players are not limited to one of each Hero, nor are they limited to the basic Heroes that came with HeroQuest.

  RandomQuest Questions
  
  Why did you create RandomQuest?
  Sometime ago I realized that I had never played HeroQuest as the Hero. I was always the GameMaster, and it just didn't work out that others could be him.
  
  I also wanted an way to play HeroQuest without all the preparation that goes into a normal game - quest creation can take quite a while. I wanted a way to play a game with little or no advanced notice.
  
  Why didn't you use any of the random and/or solo HQ rules available on the internet?
  There are many good rules for solo/random play available. Mitchel Hansinger has a good set on his HeroQuest Resources Page . The only problem that I had with most of these rules is that they relied on tables to generate rooms and monsters. I wanted an easy way to add a new tile into the set, or take some out. What if you got a new monster figure - you would have to re-work the tables. What if you only wanted to play the game with Undead? 'Greenskin' monsters? Only Orcs? Again, a bunch of table changes.
  
  What I was after with RandomQuest was a quick way to set up the game for any type of monster, quest type, treasure type, etc.
  
  Why did you make the cards for RandomQuest so large?
  Two reasons, really. The first is because on several of the cards there is so much text that is was hard to fit on the standard ‘HeroQuest’ sized cards. The second is that I have been playing the game with my son, who is in the second grade and had an easier time reading the text at a 10 point font size than at the smaller 8. I needed the cards to be larger for this larger font. If the cards are too big for your personal tastes, you may want to reduce the size before printing them.
