FORHAN SEMI-RETIRES FROM HEROQUEST

For the first few years after Milton Bradley took HeroQuest off the market, Carl Forhan's FAQ, website, and other efforts were pretty much the only way to get information about the game online. Carl has recently decided to shut down his pages and turn the reins of the HeroQuest FAQ over to Dewayne Agin. Look for a new edition of the FAQ on Dewayne's site in the near future.

Additionally, Carl has graciously agreed to allow the Alchemist's Bench to republish articles that Carl wrote for Vindicator and other gaming periodicals. Look for Carl's articles starting in the next issue of the Alchemist's Bench.

UNCLE OWEN: PRODUCTIVE YET LONELY

The website called Owen's Moisture Farm now has a quest to download. Be sure and let the site's owner know that you downloaded it, because he is unsure if anyone ever goes to his HeroQuest site.

You'll find it at http://www.heroscribe.org/owens/index.html
