Heroquest remake by Hasbro - The BIG discussion thread

[reluctantflux]

That is world's better! But more importantly, it looks like they might actually be taking constructive criticism appropriately, and we can help mold the project to be more in line with what the community wants! I don't think think we'll be able to get the orc bard removed, as I seems to already have a questbook designed around "good" orcs, but maybe we can get that figure to be more snarling scathing insults and less heartbroken serenading.

Well. It’s banana leaves/feathers over yoga shorts, but it is a definite improvement. And the top is worlds better.

Sad to see it slow down this much, but understandable given (a) there's a pandemic on so money's tighter than normal, (b) so far they don't seem to be doing other languages, and (c) only people in a handful of countries are even allowed to buy the damn thing. I'm curious if the bump on Day 17 was from all of the resellers, or just the Australia and New Zealand ones; I'd like to hope Zavvi deploy a load of orders that shoot the bar up a large chunk, but that's probably not going to happen.

Without at least the EU, this thing's going nowhere. Wish we could at least hit the four million mark.

I want this project to do well... But! If we DON'T reach $3 million, that means the lame misunderstood orc empires and bards won't become canon...
Tough choice


SO much better. I'm absolutely okay with this.
I'm not even sure if she is still wearing the yoga pants underneath

In a way I feel a little bad for the designer.

And they removed the tree stump from inside the dungeon! Let’s focus on small wins.

It will probably be better if we don’t hit 3 million to be honest. Everybody is saying that they’re hoping for new content, but do they really want it if that content revolves around misunderstood orcs in pirate outfits and advanced orcish civilisations? That stuff needs to die before it is ever properly conceived (or else stay in the D&D world).

The Druid is now MUCH better. Six or seven more iterations and I might even allow her on the same board as my old minis. But she’ll always be known to me as the Extinction Rebellion Druid.

Yes.
You don't have to use all of it.
But I want it all so that I *can*.

Agreed. I'm really excited for the new content, myself. I was actually hoping for more than one Orc hero, really!

I'm should probably feel like crap when it comes out that I was mercalessly ripping into a 1st/2nd draft of that druid... I won't but I probably should.

[Oftkilted]

For those folks who played on the “Horde” in World of Warcraft, or created non-human adventurers it’s an interesting take. Evil comes in all races, not just the ‘ugly ones’ we can see that with the Dark Warriors in the HeroQuest Master Edition.

Okay that Druid is far,far better than it was!!!
This project has just made me a little happier now!
Again I’m okay with the bard orc but I would love an orc barbarian/savage orc hero.
If you’re reading this thank you for fixing that Druid!!!
