I was thinking of maybe an additional quest booklet with all the on line quests: Rogar's Hall, New Beginnings, Foresaken Tunnels of Xor-Xel, Into the Northlands & Knightfall and maybe a few others, like The Maze for nostalgic purposes. They could include new cards like the ones suggested for Frozen Horror to make it easier, plus new artifacts that could give the Wizard and/or Dwarf +2BP & +1MP. Or an artifact that allows the Wizard (or Elf,or Warlock, or Druid) to pick an extra set of spells. Stuff for all the collectors that we can add to quests.

Now that "Return of the Witch Queen" has been released, I wonder what is next for HeroQuest?

Sadly, like last year, Doug & Co. were not giving fan interviews on the record. What is Hasbro's deal? But that's another topic...

After the ogl fiasco with dungeons and dragons they are likely less trusting of fans, interviews and social media stuff. For anyone who doesn't know they basically invited a bunch of youtubers onto a live stream annnnd it did not go well. They likely cracked down on who says what and to whom after that. Let's be real, all it takes nowadays to tank a brand is one tactless comment by one of the creators. Combine this with the fact many news outlets/content creators going out of their way to attempt to goad said comments out of them you can't really blame for going radio silent. God help them if some idiot decides to get political while giving an interview.


Also, I don't really wanna talk about weather hasbro is right or wrong, good or bad. I don't have very strong feelings on them. I don't want to start a flame/rant thread. I only bring it up because I think this is likely the reason they are resistant to having things on the record.

The leaks and the hacks weren't the fault of fans. If Hasbro blames the fans for some Australian store(s) releasing Wizards of Morcar prematurely, or someone stealing factory second miniatures out of the trash at some factory and selling them on AliExpress, not much we can do about that. Maybe that made them paranoid and that's why they think maybe not letting Doug & co. do any non-curated interviews with independent media will improve things?

I think if Hasbro is going to cut off the spigot of news and community feedback, the least they could do is invest in some community outreach... how about some more interviews, more updates, more blog posts, etc? Or are they so hurting for resources that they have to put all their energy into promoting Talisman and getting Wizards of Morcar to all the markets it was supposed to be in last March.

Yeah. I still think we are getting at least one more expansion but after that... doubtly.
Maybe is not that, but the feelling is that they are silently killing the brand. I had hopes on a FINAL expansion made by S. Baker but this has been ruled out so whatever it comes is ok but I already have enough Heroquest for two more yerars at least without homemade quests. Finishing ATOH, we have ahead First Light, Rise of the Dread Moon, COPD and WoM...

Firstly, a mini-box set for the gender-swapped Heroes from the 2020 fund-raiser: Female Barbarian, Dwarf and Wizard, and the Male Elf. I would love to see them available to the masses.

Spell Scroll Cards! Basically, all version of spells scrolls as their own deck with original card back art.

More Reagents for the Treasure Deck! I can imagine new reagents that can offer single attack or defend bonus when consumed.
