Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • 1. Fun Factor: ★★★★☆ (4/5) Assessment: The quest offers engaging gameplay with meaningful moral choices and a thrilling duel against Ragor. The tension between honor and deception adds depth. However, the limited variety of encounters beyond the arena slightly dampens the overall excitement. 2. Design: ★★★☆☆ (3/5) Assessment: The quest design shows thoughtful mechanics like the honor system and arena rules. While the logical map layout is effective, the lack of environmental diversity and the need for clearer rule explanations affect the overall polish and flow. 3. Narrative: ★★★★☆ (4/5) Assessment: The storyline is immersive with a strong moral dilemma and a compelling antagonist in Ragor. The quest integrates well with HeroQuest’s dark, adventurous tone, though it feels more like a side story than a major plotline. 4. Staying Power: ★★★☆☆ (3/5) Assessment: The dual approach of honorable combat versus stealth adds replayability. However, the linear structure and fixed outcomes limit long-term engagement. The harsh penalties for rule infractions may deter some players from revisiting. Overall Rating: ★★★★☆ (3.5/5) Feedback: Strengths: The quest excels in presenting moral choices, strategic challenges, and a memorable antagonist. The honor system adds a unique twist, and the strategic limitations encourage creative gameplay. Areas for Improvement: Clarify custom rules to reduce confusion, diversify encounters to maintain engagement, and adjust penalties to enhance fairness. Adding more environmental variety and hazards could also improve the design. Final Thoughts: An engaging fan-made quest with strong narrative elements and strategic depth. With refinements in design clarity and encounter variety, it has the potential to be a standout addition to the HeroQuest community.
  • Some ambitious mechanics in this quest! Well done and best of luck.
