I had a strange idea last night: has anyone thought of adapting Advanced Heroquest rules for Necromunda dungeon crawls?? Hear me out!
In Necromunda, there's a whole lot of exploration of ruined Hive stuff, and it seems like not a stretch to say that a Warband might pick up a guilder assignment to go find something or other deep in the confusing labyrinth of crushed hive somewhere. Since AHQ offers random dungeon generation tools, stipulates mapping, and has you generate your own monster tables, it seems well suited to this sort of adventure.
Quest rooms = obtain archeotech for the guilder Traps seem to fit very well There are mechanics for hirelings across both games Verticality is a natural fit One could easily have a tunnel system lead to another dome or fully built table.
The trickiest thing seems to me to be monster tables.
Monsters we know would work:
Spiders
Zombies
Mutants
Ripperjacks / rats / leechy-looking things
Chaos demons (Plaguebearers, Daemonettes, Bloodthirsters)
Purestrain stealers (RUN AWAY!!)
Potential crossover baddies:
Genestealer cultists
Other outlaw gangers (Redemptionists, Ratskins, Spyrers, Arbites)
Am I forgetting about a Necromunda bestiary somewhere? Links appreciated. What do you guys think?
