Heroquest remake by Hasbro - The BIG discussion thread

My assumption was that it would be 10 quests... I have no good reason to think that, but when Jason pulls things out of his ass he goes big.

The Spirit Queen's Torment - Questbook
Joe Manganiello Questbook - $4,000,000

Where did they talk about this Spirit Queen questpack? I didn't notice it.

Read the bio's at the bottom of the page (https://hasbropulse.com/products/heroquest-game-system). Teos Abadia wrote it.

Since the first day and funding it has averaged about $100,000 a day. It will slow down at some point, but should pick back up near the end.

It already has but it's close to leveling out, it will increase near the end, but not by much. I'd be surprised if it gets over $80,000 in a day the rest of the way (not unless they open it up to Europe which would probably beat Day 1 US sales).

Day 1: $1,000,000 (actually hit 1 million 30min before 24 hours)
Day 2: $267,000 in Sales
Day 3: $151,000 in Sales
Day 4: $102,000 in Sales
Day 5: $65,000 in Sales
Day 6: $52,500 in Sales

If it averages $40,000/day the rest of the way it will clear $3,100,000.

I'll be Happy if it passes the 2Mil Mark and we get the extra content. I am looking forward to the finished product!

Does anyone have a link to a recording of the HeroQuest panels from Pulsecon? I wasn't able to watch live and I can't find videos, just people talking about what was covered. I'd like to see it myself.

Worry not! They've uploaded the streams to their YT page.
The HQ segment starts around 1:58:00, and STEPHEN BAKER is at 2:18:30

Enjoy!

While I'm here I just wanted to give my and concur with what a lot of folks might have already said:

For all the years we've pined away for more official Heroquest content, making and sharing our own here, Heroquest IS BACK, and Stephen Baker is on board!! Sure, the style is updated, but the quests, the mechanics, the of what makes Heroquest so fun to gather round and play with your friends is ALIVE AND WELL and so long as the community supports it, it will continue to live on in a way we've only daydreamed about until now.

Hasbro knows they need our lifelong fanbase for this to be successful, and we've already seen constructive criticism result in real change with the much-lowered Canadian shipping. I know it's a big ask for folks outside the US and Canada to support and spread the word on something they can't purchase just yet, but with more support, and more constructive feedback from the community, maybe we can steer this in a way to impact the greatest good!

They're also inviting new ideas just like we do here by including modified rules, new heroes, and guest quest creators. Who knows? Maybe in the way LEGO Ideas creations go on to become official products, now more than ever, we're closer to the possibility that any one of us here could see their fan creations developed into official Heroquest expansions! There's so much to get excited about here!

I'll close by saying that when Stephen Baker speaks about how he created Heroquest, I get warm fuzzies it reminds me of just why this game of heroic questing is so amazing outside of its own time, and why it's worthwhile to bring it back now. Before I get too misty-eyed to keep typing, I want to encourage everyone here to reach out to your inner 10-year old self and remember the first time you said, "Zargon, open that door!", the first time you put pencil to a blank quest map, or the first time you celebrated a victory (or defeat!) with your friends or family, another world unfolded before your eyes, and your imagination was forever enriched.

Keep the Quest Alive!

Insert complaints that we are not at $2M in pre-orders yet so I can see the next few Mythic bonuses (and probably be unimpressed by them).

My assumption is that any unlocked "Quest Books" will be a minimum of 10 quests. We had the base game quest book at 14 quests, and then RotWL, KK were 10 quests as well. I don't own any of the other ones but I think they're all 10 quests too right?

Id wager an absolute minimum of 8 quests in an of the new books and maybe, likely, more than that for each one. The only way it'd be less is if they're released all in the same book as mini-quests. Then I could see them being 3 or 4 each, but that would be a massive disappointment for me

A promise is a promise, a tease is a tease. So for right now we're going to get at least one new quest for $150 minimum, possibly two (if we go over $2 mill, right now it's at $1.6 mill). I'd love it if they made a bunch of more quests, but I'll believe it when I see it. We have plenty of quests to play, but yes, it would certainly be cool to have something "official" that was made by the people who worked on the original games.

Against the Ogre Horde was 8 quests, and Wizards of Morcar was only 5. The Elf & Barbarian packs were both 10 quests though.

But we're really in uncharted territory now, (((they))) can do whatever they want with this. I'm not so bothered by the number of quests as I am by the content. ATOH had 8 but it was still a really solid adventure, whereas the 10 for KK was arguably too much (some people have said that it was that pack which killed off their Heroquest gaming group).
