THE AXIANQUEST DECKS
AxianQuest is the name of the line of accessory decks I've designed for HeroQuest. Here's the list of those currently available, printed and ready, at DriveThruRPG:
The AxianQuest Heroic Skills deck, with 30 different skills cards any hero can learn: a simple way to introduce character progression and customization without bloating the game mechanics. Pay for training, learn a new skill, up to three.
A full gallery of the deck can be seen here.
The AxianQuest Wondrous Artifacts deck, with 20 new legendary artifact cards.
The AxianQuest Furniture deck, which allows heroes to search each individual piece of scenery for unique outcomes and loot.
The AxianQuest Weapon Artifacts deck, with 20 new weapon artifact cards.
The AxianQuest Dungeon Events deck, with 46 special events and encounters to make every dungeon adventure unique!
The AxianQuest Armor Artifacts deck, with 20 new armor artifact cards.
The AxianQuest Infinite Dungeon deck, a complete system to play always new quests and campaigns, with no Zargon player and no app needed, and supporting 1 to 5 heroes.
I've posted a Full Game Report of a solo game using the Infinite Dungeon deck and the Furniture deck.
Youtuber AmalgamAsh has reviewed the first four decks on his channel:

Good afternoon Axian Spice, i have a question.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible have THE AXIANQUEST cards in Italian language?
Yep, we are working on the Italian version, and hope to have it out in a month.
DeleteAnd the Spanish version is in the works too!
Hello Axian Spice,
DeleteI am so curious about the cards but I couldnt buy it until now because I need it in german language for my nephews. Then there will also be soon a german version? I read on another page (reddit maybe?) that this is not planned.
Hi! Any chance you could provide pdf versions of the decks? Print and play is much more viable for a lot of us outside the US.
ReplyDeleteHello! I'm sorry to say we have no plans for a PDF release. BUT we are going to release a "catch up" bundle with all the decks, at a substantial discount, so as to at least partially compensate for the expensive shipping outside the US. It should be available by the end of September/early October, as soon as the seventh deck comes out!
DeleteShipping to Asia would still be outrageous and very likely to get lost in my case. I would appreciate an alternative option, even with degraded graphics.
DeleteI'm really sorry. I live in Italy, and while it surely is not as bad as I'm sure it is with Asia, shipping my own decks (and print-proofs...) to me still is expansive and takes more than a month.
DeleteUnfortunately, my partner and I have ruled out PDFs and PnP for a variety of reasons. I know this decision is a disappointment to you and other HQ fans, I am sorry, but we are not changing that.
I hope you can figure some way to work around this, via friends or group purchases. I've heard people are doing that in Australia.
Do you plan on releasing a second deck of furniture cards different than the ones we currently have? I love the cards you have created. It would be great to have even more options when setting up homebrew quests.
ReplyDeleteNo plans for a second Furniture deck for now, unless we get new furniture pieces in future expansions, but I have three or four new decks I'm working on!
DeleteThey won't be around before Spring 2024 though!
I would like to buy the catch-up bundle, unfortunately I live in Italy, the bundle with shipping would cost me €102 no taxes included (i have to add 22% more) ... impossible
ReplyDeleteI know, that's tough. I live in Italy too!
DeleteHi, where can I buy the full bundle of cards with ITALIAN translation? Ty
ReplyDeleteIt'll be available on DriveThruRPG, like the English version!
