Heroquest remake by Hasbro - The BIG discussion thread

[nathanielz]

So, a quick chat from hasbro rep - and she now said the international orders are already included (as we suspected from the daily jumps, but countrary to what they have been saying for a while).

This would close any hope of reaching beyond 3.4M (and 3.4M is still far away)...

Shame

Yes I suspected as much since those big daily jumps were happening at the same they started to announce availability for other countries besides US/CAN

[ajjohnsen]

The numbers are going up very rapidly, so I think a few more goals are possible. I wouldn't be surprised at all if we get the extra Chaos Warriors, but after that would be very surprising

Thanks for posting that Q&A it was actually pretty good. We will be getting lots of equipment cards including the UK versions and duplicates for "popular" items. Artifacts as well as the ones from unlocked quest books, so that's a confirmation of not only additional custom items for the quest books, but likely a sign of a good deep story plot

I'm very excited to see where this continues to go

I hoped I was wrong.
Oh well.

As others have mentioned, they botched the marketing on this campaign entirely. The Q&A was a nice touch, it just came a couple weeks too late. There should have been a lot more community engagement along the way, more transparency on the items being received, and more marketing towards international buyers once that option opened up. I'm not upset (I'm buying 2 copies and happy with the content I'm getting), just disappointed knowing that it could have reached higher heights if managed better.

Sounds like they will continue to develop HQ material after this campaign is over (as hinted at by the Q&A) but the answer given makes it sound like they don't have a clue yet what people want or what to work on next. I'm sure that's not the case, there's smart people making the decisions at Hasbro and they're raking in the money as a company right now. It's just... they need to find a better way to engage their core (and casual) fans in a meaningful way.

So between the pulse website, twitter and youtube I'm trying to find the answers to my questions.

Here's a link to the youtube page. (Hasbro pulse video on Heroquest remake)

If the initial post of this long thread could update with those links that might help too

Agreed, and there is a simple answer...ask us! We're here, and can help them with anything they need. If anything, let the creators of this site be the collective voices. I can't believe they wouldn't even consult directly with this community. It's rare that such an old and out of print somewhat niche game would have such a ripe collection of fans and data to present to them. Baffling.

To be fair, I'm a business guy in the financial world with an NYU MBA (not a humble brag I swear). Perhaps things I take as givens aren't so obvious to others.

Learn how to use GREEN STUFF. It will let you modify the weapons that the Minis are holding. You don't need those extra unlocks...

[ajjohnsen]

Yea but I want them! It's basically just free at this point if you've already pledged

[JCool]

Looks like we hit $3.2m. Onwards to the next goal!
