New HeroQuest Expansion, Designed by Joe Manganiello, Arrives in August
Tabletop gaming enthusiasts have a new adventure on the horizon with the upcoming release of the HeroQuest: The Crypt of Perpetual Darkness Quest Pack expansion, set to launch in August. This latest addition to the HeroQuest universe features a collection of 10 new adventures, all meticulously crafted by actor and renowned TTRPG aficionado Joe Manganiello.
The expansion promises to immerse players in a dark fantasy setting with its heavy metal aesthetic, a theme that aligns perfectly with Manganiello’s vision. Inside the box, players will find a host of new components, including fresh cards, intricately designed dungeon tiles, custom dice, and a striking metallic Black Dragon miniature. This thematic approach mirrors that of the previously released Welcome to the Hellfire Club expansion, offering a cohesive experience for fans of darker, more intense gameplay.
Currently, The Crypt of Perpetual Darkness is listed as sold out on Amazon, though a restock is anticipated. It’s vital to note that this expansion requires the base HeroQuest game to play. The base game is available for $88,a reduction from its original $135 price point. Alternatively, players can opt for the HeroQuest: First Light set, priced at $50, which also serves as a gateway to the HeroQuest experience.
HeroQuest itself is recognized for its streamlined, board-game-style approach to the tabletop role-playing genre. This makes it an ideal entry point for newcomers to TTRPGs or for players who appreciate a more tactile and mechanics-driven experience, blending the accessibility of a board game with the depth and narrative of traditional pen-and-paper role-playing.
