Behind the role-playing and combat are the mechanics of the system.

To help both newcomers to the system and our experienced club members, here is the complete rules' reference information:

• Glossary - Rules Terminology: the best starting point if you want to get to grips with the Heroquest Rules.
• In-Game Effects - a detailed description of each of the in-game effects you may encounter.  There are a lot here, but newcomers are not expected to know any of these.
• All Skills - a detailed description of all skills available in the system - and another very long list!
• Immunities - the shouts you should use to show when you (as a player character or NPC) are not being affected by your opponent.
