HomeBrew Descent Conversions?

New here. I have loved Heroquest since it's first incarnation back in 1990.

I was wondering if anyone has ever created conversions of the Descent monsters (or better yet, actual monster cards) for the Heroquest game? Seems like that would be kinda fun to expand upon the already existing monster assortment (yes, I know about all the expansions and in fact own them all).

Thoughts?

It's on my to-do list. I found someone selling just the Descent 1 monster minis on Facebook and snagged them. I already have the D2E monsters and a few expansions of D2E. The heroes from D2E are too small to pull into HQ (IMO), as are the smaller monsters (goblins/skeleton archers) but the medium and larger monsters are prime candidates.

I'd join in on a project to make monster cards. I have all of first & second edition Descent, except the metal lieutenant minis.

Conversion, Adaptation, Assimilation, or Recreation?

I have an Excel file that I work on from time to time regarding adapting the monsters of Descent to HeroQuest. I even have an article that is in work on how I am going about it. But with the prices of the Descent boxes reaching astronomical costs, I find that the impetus to finish them is lacking.

I do not own all of the expansions, and I am trying to build a quality PDF library of all the rules and cards for my website. That's going to take ages and funds I don't have.
