Good on them! I'm glad some Spaniards do have their heads on straight GG Vekami!

Perhaps Indiegogo next? xD

Sarcasm: If at first you don't succeed in kissing your sister move onto your cousins. If that doesn't succeed follow on down the family tree till it does. /Sarcasm That's about what I get when reading that... I'm putting any enthusiasm I have for HQ anniversary stuff to come from those here. Already there has been more concrete and substantive things discussed and more has been done to get it off the ground than GZ has. Once finals are over I'll see if I can contribute in some small way.

This all could have been avoided if they'd called it "SpaniardQuest" and said "inspired by 25 years of HeroQuest."

I told you so. The cake is a lie. Nobody would listen to me then. FAKE.

Well it was an exciting day at the internets today
I must be living under a rock, cause all this time I did not notice this whole new HQ thing. A friend mentioned it yesterday and this morning I anxiously googled it, only to be disappoined 5 min later . Talking about emotional roller coaster

Well it seems to me that GZ acted quite irresponsibly and unprofessionaly at all levels. From legal research to communication. But from all this fiasco, we can be certain for one thing. Alot of people would pay good money to have HQ again. 52000 in afew days is the best proof. Its obvious that GZ tried to jump the nostalgia train (the 25th anniversary was just an emotional pressure point for the lot of us- HQ fans). Although we should not forget that Moon Design also exploited the Heroquest brand name. They might be legaly right, but from a moral stand point they also jumped the same train. They said that one of the reasons that they wont allow GZ using the HQ name (which they run to pick from the ground), is that Hasbro might implicate them in a future law suit (if GZ had not the license of Hasbro). I really cant imagine how this could be done, even in the most far fetched bureaucratic senario. What I really believe is that they afraid that Hasbro can claim back in some way the brand name, or cause some legal troubles for them. Let us not forget that Hasbro is the Satan of the boardgame universe. GW is a kitten compared to Hasbro.

They just keep trying and trying. http://www.lanzanos.com/proyectos/heroq ... iversario/ (click the language bar at the top)

Man, I hope these guys will crash and burn on this site. Let this be over once and for all please.

And there's NOTHING new.
Nothing!

No Concept Art, no bigger pictures, no greens, no freakin' nothing!

It's like seeing Those People at Wal-Mart and being unable to look away for the simple fact it's a horrendous tragedy. I think they are just gonna keep at it in the hopes that they get tired of writing new C&D notices.

Well they are definitely attracting backers because they hit 50% so far. I know it was a lot less than that when I looked earlier. Just wait till the C&D hits...

I've posted a backup of the campaign on the blog in case it crashes again xD lol One terrible thing I noticed almost immediately was the many spelling mistakes on the english page of the campaign... And I'm french speaking so... I hope they will quickly correct those!

Anyway, besides the terrible communication problem from previous weeks, I find the 3rd level pledge of the current campaign pretty attractive for the incredible amount of stuff that will come in the box :

(Have you noticed the non translated part )

that's 46 minis + 46 furnitures + 35 markers + at least 10 more at the time I'm speaking... for only 110 euro. I say that's a bargain!

I'm not a fan of the board nor Zargon's screen though...
