Fimir vs Abomination | A Brief History of the Fimir & Discussion on Their Replacement in HeroQuest
419Always Board Never Boring struggles to pronounce "fimir" too many times in this brief look at the history of one of HeroQuest's most memorable monsters. This video includes a discussion on their replacement in Avalon Hill's edition of HeroQuest, the Abominations. Are they a worthy replacement? Will ABNB ever like them?
Please be aware, what was supposed to be a fun video turned into a bit of an essay involving a good deal of research. Hopefully there are no inaccuracies, but here are all the resources that ABNB used while making this video. You should check out all these places because they are amazing:
