I thought those of you wanting to get into playing HeroQuest but are having difficulty getting hold of the dice (or those of you who already play HeroQuest and looking for extra dice) might be interesting to know that the dice from HeroScape (a game published by Hasbro) make good substitutes.



Big Cat recently got hold of a pack of 12 of these dice (and a D20) off eBay. As you can see from the picture above they are marked with Skulls and Shields, they even have the same number of Skulls and Shields as the HeroQuest Dice, 3 Skulls and 2 Shields, however where the HeroQuest Dice have the Round/Black/Monster Shield (also know as the Special to my gaming group due to our houserules), the HeroScape Dice have a blank side. This shouldn't really be a problem though, just remember that the blank counts as the Round/Black/Monster Shield, make a little sticker of the symbol or just draw one on with a permanent marker.
