Ok, ok. You're right, Mortis. Point taken regarding posting questions on the board, as opposed to sending emails, even though I thought that it would have been specific for myself.
Pretty much all of the rules make alot of sense in order to turn HQ into a more in-depth and all-encompasing RPG-style game, and truth be told, I would LOVE an opportunity to play this game with your guys and it sounds like the type of game that I'd really enjoy.
But the main reason I searched out this game (which I originally owned back in the 90's) is BECAUSE of its simplicity since I'm going to be introducing it to 3 other game-newbies who prefer party games such as Say Anything, or Scattagories. My ultimate goal is to eventually get them to play more and more complex miniature games. (So I guess I'm using HeroQuest as a gateway-game. Heh heh heh!)
So the 1st dungeon we play, I plan on not using any homebrew rules, and slowly introduce them in the preceeding dungeons, such as the fate points, wizard rules, and possibly the weapon durability (suggestion by Kessandra & Chaos_warrior). But I may go ahead and use the Mortis-ized Search Rules right from the start as I've never really liked the "Player states that they're searching for *** and automatically find them all" game mechanic.
Obviously that would be a cruel Zargon if I were to do that, but how WOULD you introduce any new characters, and what would you do with the old?
Thanks,
And a special thanks to Mortis for willing to introduce/share logically-butchered rules to us.

Follow up Question
I do have another request for advice (for whomever would be willing to answer). The game initially starts with the 4 base characters. I've seen a couple of homebrew created character floating around (ie. http://www.boardgame.de/reviews/heroques.htm) which I may want to introduce, but how would you recommend we start using them? One day before the 4th gaming session just plop them on the table and say "Ok, you can now use one of these characters, but if you do, your old barbarian, Cohnin, that you've been role-playing and love, and all his hard-earned equipment and gold, are now dead to us. Bah ha ha ha!"Obviously that would be a cruel Zargon if I were to do that, but how WOULD you introduce any new characters, and what would you do with the old?
Thanks,
