Heroquest remake by Hasbro - The BIG discussion thread

[cynthialee]

screw that if someone wants to pay me an exorbitant amount of money in a couple years for my set I am selling it

we are poor folks around here and been making due with a lot of self printed stuff, we can do it again

hell I haven't decided if I am going to even use the new set except for when I have guests

[Fallensaviour]

10,000 away from 3.6mill do I hear 3.8 coming....

No one can sell for more than someone is willing to pay. That is not gouging, it is supply and demand.

[lestodante]

And... at the end I'm in! I pledged mine too. Although I am still not convinced with the new style, if I didn't I will regret later when it will be no more available.

It’s a wild ride. As 8:30 we are less than 7.5K from the 3.6M unlock and there are 3 hours to go till the crowdfunder closes.

The current trending has been ~$11.8K an hour over the past 24 hours.

There is ~3 hours left in the campaign.

The Alt Dread Warrior at 3.4 is unlocked, and Dread Warlock alternate Sculpt at the $3.6M Stretch Goal ... that will be unlocked by the time I post this update. (And unlocked!)

The alt-sculpt Gargoyle unlocks at $3.8M at ~$200k or 1,334 pledges at Mythic Tier

To reach the final stretch goal with Quest Book by Joe Manganiello with the Dragon Miniature and Game Tiles would require ~$400k or 2,667 pledges at Mythic Tier level.

Can you explain why we need a “younger edition” “sub-board? What is it that makes this new version not meet the descriptions of the the core HeroQuest forums?

I guess if you owned the original game you might understand how this isn't a true rerelease of the games system or ROTWL or KK, but a reboot really. Same game name and basic contents sure, but completely redone like any rebooted movie, it is just like a new movie franchise, not the 1st version of the game in a slightly bigger game box. it won't be that compatible with the old game components (unless you can overlook glaring style differences, sizing, materials etc.) and are house ruling any changes to the modern rules.
We won't know for sure just how different they will be from the originals until they get released, but they are different.
Doesn't make sense then to talk about them in the same area for threads for both the old version and the new, we should separate the two editions BEFORE the threads are hopelessly entangled for clarity sakes.

The way I see it we have
Classic Edition (1st edition)
Classic UK/Europe/AUS version
Classic UK/Europe/AUS version fixed
Classic NA version
1st edition: Heroquest game system (maze), HeroQuest game system (Trial), HeroQuest game system (US), HeroQuest advanced Quest, Kellar's Keep (UK, EUR, AUS), Keller's Keep (US), Return of the Witch Lord (UK, EUR, AUS), Return of the Witch Lord (US), Wizards of Morcar (UK, EUR, AUS), Against the Ogre Horde (UK, EUR, AUS), Barbarian Quest Pack/ Frozen Horror (US), Elf Quest Pack/ Mage of the Mirror (US), Adventure Design Kit (UK, EUR, AUS), original magazine published quests and novel quests, and various original foreign language versions.

new Modern Edition (2nd edition)
Hasbro version (revamped or modernized)
2nd Edition: Basic Game system (revamped), Kellar's Keep (revamped), Return of the Witch Lord (revamped), Prophecy of Telor, The Spirit Queen's Torment, [very unlikely unlock] Quest Book by Joe Manganiello.

They are clearly separate editions based on release time (25-32 YEARS DIFFERENCE!), content and style and should have separate areas of the HeroQuest Rooms to discuss each edition.

And... at the end I'm in! I pledged mine too. Although I am still not convinced with the new style, if I didn't I will regret later when it will be no more available.

Still no definitive confirmation that it will ever sell retail, although the press conference gave some teasing that it might or new product might.
Good call.

3.6 unlocked. I guess it could still hit 4m. very surprised

You might think the best thing about discussing HeroQuest is to keep reissues in separate forums. I would like to let you know that the best thing about HeroQuest discussions is ensuring that you don’t have to deal with 12+ different folders, and you don’t have to decide “should this go in the 2020 remake folder because I’m discussing the differences between the 2020 rules and the classic edition ... or the classic edition section because we’re comparing the old and the new...”

It isn’t even a real “reboot” because a reboot would imply substantially more changes than we appear to have received. This is a “reissue” or a “remake” not a “reboot.” It isn’t a “modernized” version (other than the art and models) and it isn’t “revamped” as it uses the same core rules with minor tweaking like the prior releases going from EU v1 to the final MB release did.

Unless you’re actually proposing that we split the current forum into 4 discussion areas ... for each rule set and official release? That’s pretty radically crazy. And the forum doesn’t have enough traffic to make that even make sense.

[Cael Darkhollow]

um...the HeroQuest rooms are already split into 5 subareas for different aspects of the game (this qualifies), why not a 6th?
