Q: What age is A Heroic Death suitable for?

Freeform Games recommends A Heroic Death is suitable for anyone aged 12+. You can play it with kids or adults - or a mixture of both!

Q: How long does A Heroic Death take to play?

I would allow 3-4 hours to play A Heroic Death . While the game itself takes 2.5-3 hours to play, I recommend allowing time to introduce the game and wind down after.

Q: Where's my download?

Shortly after buying A Heroic Death you should receive an email from Freeform Games explaining how to download the game files. If you haven't received this, please first check your spam filter - sometimes the emails end up there. If that fails, please get in touch directly with Freeform Games - with the details of which game you bought, when you bought it, and which email address you used. Or contact me (with that same information) and I'll get in touch for you.

Q: Can I host A Heroic Death and also play a character?

The host has an important role in A Heroic Death . The organize and coordinate the party. They also act as an impartial "referee" - so it's important that they have read the game and understand what is going on. So I recommend not playing a character and hosting the game. But if you still want to host a game and play a character (or you have to because a player cannot attend), I have advice on doing that here .

Question 5

How many guests will I need?

Accepted Answer

You need at least 8 guests and no more than 12.

If you have fewer than 8 guests you will have to drop a character (which may affect the plot), or play a character yourself (not ideal, but I talk about it here), or even ask a guest to play two characters at once.

If you have more than 12 guests you will need to create your own, or use one of the free extra characters provided by Freeform Games when you download A Heroic Death.
