Heroquest remake by Hasbro - The BIG discussion thread

[Oftkilted]

Another 33k jump in funding within the last hour... it seems they keep having occasional manual updates.

Total of up $41997 since last night with another 4 hours till ~24 hours since the last track point.

Feels like they will be able to set the number wherever they would like... Who is there to provide oversight? Want to hit 3m for bragging purposes, but only 2.9 pledged? Just tap a couple of buttons and bamn bragging allowed. "Over 3 million earned!"

Edit: Someorc is feeling extra cynical today...

[nathanielz]

not cynical, realistic.

In a kickstarter, you can't tinker with numbers. If a stretch goal is missed, it is missed.

On your own platform, you can tinker the numbers. And even if they don't, remember that they said that overseas numbers aren't included in the current display. How do we know what these numbers are really today. If we hit 2.9M at the end of the campaign, they can say that we had 1'100'005$ sold overseas so the total is right above 4M - who's to say these numbers are right or wrong?

Either way - they paid Joe to do the 4M questbook, they paid the artists to do the renders of each bonus figure between 3 and 4M. Are they going to waste that money spent if the sum is not at 4M? Maybe, and after all they can..

Finally - I think that every previous Haslab project reached 4+M. The current Razor Crest project is already past 4M. If the first boardgame they put on haslab "tanks" with a mere 3M or less, it could look bad. Hence, a quick "tinkering" of overseas orders is the perfect remedy to this problem.

Either way, we only can wait and see, but I'm happy with more stuff included. Already have a couple ideas of special roles to give to the bonus monsters

Final note: 10th post, I have now a monster icon too! Yay Goblins

The Quest book would be harder to explain (unless they released it a few years down the road as a stand alone product after some people had the actual game to play with and nostalgia isn't waning...)...
but honestly the miniatures could literally be used for anything else. Just dump them onto the WizKidz line and they'd fit perfectly.

The artwork similarly could be used for something else. They surely wouldn't let it go to waste if the $3 mill mark isn't met.

[nathanielz]

Oh of course, they absolutely could. Though in that case they still would be releasing them (just not "inside" the mythic tier, but one could buy them as addons), they wouldn't be wasting them.

I hold hope for the fact that if we miss the 4M mark (which is likely, unless the final days manage to give 1M or more), that they'll release what Joe wrote. I enjoy what the community made, and I'm also happy to see more official content.

It was pretty poorly executed overall they should have just put up the 4 mill stretch at launch.
It more than likely would have driven pledges up,only putting up the 2 million stretch probably really hindered the process.
People can’t get behind something they can’t see.3 mill stretches weren’t visible until half way through.
If the 3 million isn’t met we may never know what was potential at 4 million it’s all just rumours and speculation.
Sure joe talked about his quest but is it even done?
Does it even exist?
I’m sure they could bundle it up as a future expansion if it doesn’t get to 4 million.

[FainFlynn]

It looks like they fixed Baker's quest and added the "G" where it should go.

We’re trended at ~28K/Day globally over the past 7 days (since the 23rd.)
There are ~15 Days left in the campaign.

This was an odd blip in that there were large chunks added in two days in a row. Likely international numbers added in piecemeal rather than in the block as last week.

At $28K/Day globally the numbers are trending upwards towards an additional $420k in sales, and at $15k (the typical NA domestic number) that’s closer to 225K.

Using the lower number, we will just miss the 2.8M stretch goal, and using the higher we will end up at about 2.95M. Just shy of the final 3M amount. However, with the international numbers remaining fairly consistent we are likely to reach the 2.8M goal for the alternate sculpt mummies.

[Fallensaviour]

Hammer Orcs is all I’m concerned with at this point!!!
Then we’ll worry about Mummies.

[Orc26]

Is it bad that I've recently been more excited about Oftkilted's number breakdown than anything else right now?
The sample quest was ok, and I'm coming around to the visual style, nostalgia told me the old ones were better but after using the new one, it worked just fine.
