HeroQuest 25th anniversary crowdfunding!

[mako-heart]

I'm gonna mention something here - I would like to think this wouldn't need to be said,
but sometimes one just never knows.
When and if this new edition of HQ comes out...if the company does make new quest packs to go with it,
I would like to urge everyone to be respectful of the company. By that I mean: Let's not find any scanned
copies of a brand new quest pack up here for pdf download...let's not find any word for word copy of the
text of the new quest packs...let's not find any point by point walk through of any new quest packs.

Basically...again, let's all be respectful of the company, and let's not ruin everyone else's fun in seeing what
is new.

Sure...we can all talk about the stories and plots and such...but use some restraint in how we do it.

Yes? Can we all agree to that?

Agreed

I've just assumed that there will be no downloadable material here that someone created/is yet to create for a company still at large.
HeroQuest, as it stands now, is carried by us. Not one person, not a company.

HeroQuest 25th anniversary edition by GameZone will be made and created by GameZone Miniatures for the sake of the fans and the company.
There has to be some profit.

I fully agree with torilen.

On a sidenote, the name HeroQuest (both words contracted and capitalized) is in commercial use (Issaries, Inc.). I have no clue whatsoever about the law, but can GameZone actually use that title? Just wondering, because I also read somewhere that through crowdfunding every backer can be held responsible for legal transgressions. Might be complete bullshit, too.

As far as backers being held responsible - I was the one who brought up that idea. I really do not know the
law behind such a thought, but I wanted to put it out there (mainly for the thread under which I had stated it
at the time - I don't remember what it was for now). I have been reading a lot of news the last few years, and
have seen some disturbing trends in lawsuits and what is allowed and not allowed and such.

In short - I was simply talk out of my %$@.

As for Gamezone being able to use it - Issaries, I believe, is an american company? I'm pretty sure their use
of the name is under american trademark. I don't think that has any bearing on foreign companies at all.
How that will effect them being able to sell to those of us in the U.S., I honestly would not even try to
speculate how that would work.

In such a situation, however, I seriously doubt there would be or could be any charges brought against a
company in spain for using the same name. And as I stated, I really do not know the legality of charging
backers, but I don't think anyone would have anything to worry about.

Hello, it seems they finally put some official picture on the website homepage, so i retrieve what i've said earlier this might be serious afterall... But still xD very BAD communication! I hope some stuff will be free to download like rules and one example quest though. Seems like an habit nowadays.

That is how it is/will be. Also why you don't see AHQ, or WotC stuff posted. If Hasbro ever re-releases HQ, all the resources currently available will be removed and only the fan-created content will remain.

I assume that doesn't mean if HQ25 is released with the exact quests from the original game, and with the exact board, those will all be removed? Because in my opinion that's still OLD HQ, and should forever remain here. Hasbro is never going to rerelease HQ. At least the art will be different now, so the original cards etc will remain here.

I agree with torilen though, although that means I'm gonna have to buy it now lol.

Given that GameZone only has distribution rights for Spain (and obviously not copyrights, or else the whole thing wouldn't be remade entirely), they will only be removed if Hasbro re-releases it or sells the rights to someone else who re-releases it.
