I started working on a supplemental application to use as a GM tool for HeroQuest while playing the role of Zargon. Right now it is very simple, it contains a list of all the treasure cards in the core game. Clicking on the deck draws the top card and then shuffles the remaining cards. You can try it out in whatever form it is currently in here: elvyler.com/hq_card.
The program is extremely limited in it’s current form. Someday I would like to add many more features:
- A selector to add treasure cards from other official expansions
- A way to add custom treasure cards
- Some type of widget to help Zargon keep track of his minions in battle
If there are any other features that you think would be useful, I’m open to suggestions. Right now as a GM tool for HeroQuest, it’s not very feature rich. With a little effort, I think it could be a useful too. And if it turns out not to be that useful, at least it was a fun project to work on along the way.
hey nice tool, I’m working on a set of tools myself to help run my games and finally got this one completed for tracking player treasure searches so just throwing it around to see if it gains interest https://public.markforster.info/Heroquest/Tools/track/
Any more tools your’e working on or any progress on this one? I keep feeling i could right small apps (on one big one) for every part of the game but don’t want to take away from the players too much
No progress on this one unfortunately. I also have a battle simulator for testing out probabilities of surviving encounters with different monsters. It’s also not really complete, but fun to play with.

Thanks for this neat tool!
