You want a picture of the girls? Fine. No place to put them in the Game System comparison thread as all except the new female elf didn't come in the game system. the three vintage female figures came in the Barbarian Quest Pack expansion also known as The Frozen Horror and the Elf Quest Pack expansion also known as the Mage in the Mirror, while all the other new ones come in the Mythic tier expansion. They are in the new box though so in the unboxing thread I suppose it's fitting.

Left to right:
originals 1992: female Barbarian (TFH 1992), Sinestra elf sorceress (MitM 1992), Elf Female (MitM 1992) apparently I no longer have an unpainted figure of this one, I gave my spare elf quest pack to my brother, and started painting this set at some point.
new female heroes 2021: Elf, Wizard, barbarian, dwarf, warlock [sic], druid

I have a dwarf female old metal miniature from Games Workshop that is very similar to the unreleased HQ female dwarf 4 up prototype I'll see if I can find it

I never saw those before, yeah I'd love to see the actual minis of those that are available. Getting a little off track but not too bad. Isn't there a thread for those unreleased quest packs?

damaged minis reports as new packages get delivered. seems first few were "perfect" quality save for errors in the text, but each new delivery seems to have all sorts of damage through.

The above doesn't look like damage, it looks like a poor glue job (wasn't fully dry before put into the package, so started to come off). The average buyer will need to track down some materials to make such a "repair."

maybe, and it looks like proof the minis are multi-part assembled in China.

This guy just can’t get ahead. Any chance Zargon has a spare lying around?

Good stuff, thanks for this detailed comparison! Some of the equipment cards are cut off on the edge, but otherwise this is very helpful. I see very few changes from NA to Remake editions in the content of the cards.

Courage, Borin's Armor, Wand of Magic and Spell Ring have changes (and of course the EU ported items Holy Water, Bracers, Hand Axe, Potion of Speed, mainly just prices and who can use them)... any others?

As for the crappy assemblage, that's something that Hasbro should make an exception to their "no refund if opened" policy. They should send the replacement free of charge... I'm glad they posted their complaints, otherwise a company might be able to ignore such issues.

Zargon is aware of issues with unmarked tiles.

Great Zargon, what do we use these for? Are they made for custom adventures? :)

how many cards?

Postby Shadzar » Tuesday November 9th, 2021 3:21am

For those are planning to do some serious color-coding with sleeves or who merely want to know, here is the number of cards, by type:

Mythic Box
Equipment:
Potion of Battle
Potion of Dexterity
Potion of Restoration
Venom Antidote
Artifact:
Magical Throwing Dagger
Rabbit Boots
Dust of Disappearance
Arm Band of healing
Anti-Poison Quill
5x Spell Scrolls: Pass through Rock; Heal Body; Ball of Flame; Courage; Fire of Wrath


That's wrong, it's the Witch Lord card list.
The Mythic Box features instead 18 cards:

4 character cards (Bard, Druid, Warlock, Mentor)
3 Bard Spells
3 Druid Spells
3 Warlock Spells
3 new weapons (Dagger, Rapier, Wand)
2 new artifacts (Crown of Shadows and Dragon Spear)

At this point I don't know what is right...

There are a total of 143 cards - wow! 93 cards come in the base set, and 14 each in Kellar's Keep and Return of the Witch Lord. Which means the stretch goals include 22 more cards!
11:24 AM · Nov 5, 2021·Khoros Publishing App



I swear someone else counted 151 cards total?
