Working on Pets...

I'm currently working on pets to include with the new set of heroes, and they're raised some questions and quandaries!   Simply put, pets can work like extra heroes (with all of the usual actions and abilities) or they can work as an extension of the hero that they 'belong' to.

Here's an example pet that would be an extension of the hero it belongs to:



The reason for the difference between pets with full sets of actions and those that are extensions of their heroes is to do with the 'action economy'.   If the heroes of some players have pets and others don't have pets, then the players whose heroes do have pets will have much more stuff (more actions) they can do on their turn than the other players.   This will make the other players sad.   Which makes me sad.

However, if solo kids are playing with pets, then they would probably prefer to have a full set of actions for both their heroes and their pets...

Dilemma.

New heroes, progress continues apace...

Here's the Storm-Mage Hero Card.   Hopefully his bonus ability isn't too powerful!


The Acrobat, Swashbucklers, Alchemist, and Wolf-Child need some thought...

New Adventure - Glade of the Unicorn

A new Hero Kids adventure is now available:

The Glade of the Unicorn adventure takes place on one of the kids' routine patrols into the Darkenwold Woods.   During their patrol they rescue a unicorn from a pack of marauding goblins.   The unicorn has been mortally wounded in the attack, so the kids must quest deeper into the forest to find a cure.
•  Adventure with nine encounters and nine new maps
•  Includes seven monsters: Wolf, dire wolf, and a full set of goblins


Here's the link to DriveThruRPG:

Hero Kids - Adventure - Glade of the Unicorn

This is an even bigger adventure, coming in at 35 pages, making it just short of Maze of the Minotaur!

As ever, the new encounter maps from Glade of the Unicorn are modular, so you can mix and match them to create your own adventures.
