The original and best. HeroQuest is such a gentle, yet thrilling entry into the world of RPGs, where simple dice throwing, teamwork and spell casting can allow a team to pit their strength against pre-designed quests. A vast array of furniture, special tiles, doors and evil creatures are waiting to be put on the board when you enter the room, but be prepared to have to search for traps, secret doors and pitfalls or you won't get far. One player acts as Dungeon Master, the rest pick their characters (barbarian, dwarf, wizard or elf), each with their own skills and abilities.
Dice rolling was as simple as skulls or shields - beat the enemy's roll (allowing for handicaps) to defeat them and move on.

Wow. This documentary was amazing. The restoration work, and the care that was taken with the footage is awe-inspiring. The Fathom Event showing had a short 30 minute program afterwards where Peter Jackson gave more insight into what all was done.
At first, it's all in black and white, when the colorization portion started, there was a collective gasp in the full theater. It was definitely reminiscent of The Wizard of Oz, in terms of the overall reveal.
The use of the actual veterans talking about life during the Great War were really interesting to hear, and though they used dozens of people, they were blended together seamlessly. I absolutely loved it, and can't wait until I can purchase it.

I read this when it was provided as an addendum to 'Battle Ground' (that's book #17).

I was unaware that, apparently, this had also been released previously, on Jim Butcher's own website, back even before Peace Talks (or book #16) was released.

it is set after Battle Ground - thankfully giving no spoilers but only dropping hints to what will transpire - with Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, attempting to put together a bicycle for his daughter on Christmas Eve, while staying with Michael and Charity Carpenter.

A bit like Scrooge, he receives numerous supernatural visitors on that night (although for very different reasons than Scrooge did!), with the final visitor and the final portion of the story bringing a tear to the eyes.
