Heroquest remake by Hasbro - The BIG discussion thread

[mysticforce]

Really want those extra quests unlocked, characters and more monsters, meh.

So... the warlock all by herself is almost 100% better at dealing damage than the wizard, right out of the box.
Wizard has 3 damage dealing spells, that deal at max 1, 2, and 5 damage. Then no more ranged.
Warlock has a 2 damage all the time attack and can make that 3 with a rechargeable spell.

I don't like it. Either buff the wizard or nerf the warlock.

She literally has a -1 die crossbow for free "at creation". HOW IS THAT BALANCED?

Also while I'm complaining in question form... why am I ok with the under dressed for a dungeon of the barbarian (male or female), while not ok with the under dressed for a dungeon of the druid?

[Kurgan]

I hear that, but to be fair the Warlock has no way to heal (short of potions, which are open to all Heroes), while the Wizard has two. We're getting this instead of a Ranger, I guess. Healing is pretty important. Is the balance issue because you think nobody will pick the Wizard over the Warlock now (except those who didn't buy the "Mythic" bundle), or how would it matter if there were more than four Heroes on the board at once?

In any case, I'd rather they NOT nerf any of the classic heroes, personally...

They asked for feedback... send it to them! (I suggest being constructive in your criticism of course)

IF they combine the "best of both worlds" (as seems to be hinted by the inclusion of the Equipment cards, which were never part of the NA HQ), that means the Wizard and this character would both have access to bracers and cloak (which raises the question of who gets the "Wizard's Cloak/Staff" if both can use them), making them at least 1 Defend die stronger than we had in the US.

I wonder if there will be an "Alchemist's Shop" or those new potions (from ROTWL/KK) will be on cards (as artifacts? treasures? equipment?)??

I just now realized... there is no "Leader" orc. In the original Game System, we had 2 cleaver orcs, 2 flail orcs, 3 scimitar orcs and 1 with the "notched sword" that was a stand in for any "Boss" Orc (total of 8 big but tail-less greenie meanies). But the remake gives us two of each design both in the GS and the KK remake. It would only come up if the named-orc appeared at the same time as 3 (or 4, with the "mythic tier" set that includes KK) others.

As for the dress code, I presume the rough and tumble, outdoor living allows the Barbarian and Druid to go around in their underwear, but the lack of armor never made any real sense. As Shadiversity of youtube suggested, "use a shield!" (but where's the movement bonus?). Of course once you go down that rabbit trail, you start to wonder why Plate Mail slows you down, and why a Wizard can't use a sword, long-sword and crossbow should be two-handed, etc.

I think that it looks like the druid's clothing could be purchased at a store today... A little better now that it has a little more definition, but when it was flat, I'm 99% sure I've seen my wife wear something similar when excercising...

[ajjohnsen]

I like the spells and the idea of the Warlock, but Im not crazy about the Body/Mind total being 9...what's up with that? Just give her an extra point

The druid I'm hoping has some very interesting mechanics/spells since the art is currently my least favorite of everything shown thus far

Orc Bard? This is just a no for Heroquest, as Orcs are mindless minions not mindfull heros that sing songs of legend

Looks like each tier of 1 million will be a new hero, more monster minis and 1 questbook. For the $150 this is amazing so far even though I'm not in love with everything I see, how can anyone not go for the Mythic tier at this point? Its getting close to double the content

[Kurgan]

Maybe we're going all Tolkien here with the mixed "race" characters. Elves, Orcs, Men, etc. who knows what's going on in their off time? Some Orcs are smart enough to use spells, so maybe they can sing too (again, see Tolkien).

I also wonder if all those extra "unlocks" will increase the shipping? Have they got the box sizes figured out or are those coming in plain wrappers? Will they still be available after the kickstarter ends? (I know they said Ragnar, Witch Lord and fake Mentor would be exclusives). Will the Expansions be sold separately, with or without those extras? I could imagine many scenarios there. But so far they've only said certain figures would be "Exclusive" to the kickstart pledgers.

Somewhere in there is a joke about "not looking Druish" (*thank you Mel*)

Maybe because of the wording of their gold piece value, only the Druid knows how to purchase clothes like these... OR maybe...

A chrononaut perhaps? We know Time Travel is canon in HeroQuest as of the (not-yet remade) Elf Quest Pack...

So I'm also assuming that fear doesn't work on undead? Or can they not resist it ever? I need to know!

[Kurgan]

The only thing the Undead fear are holy things... where's our Cleric/Paladin?? (I know, must be at the $5million mark, right?)

If it needs Mind Points, then no, it wouldn't, much like Sleep. That caveat ought to appear on the card, otherwise it would imply they had no defense against it!

[Orc26]

At 4 million they should add gender swaps for the 'new' Heroes too... But then again do we want a male druid in skinny jeans?

[Ok, I'm going to stop complaining that I don't like how the druid looks. Just had to get 1 more jab in.]

Ok so I'm cuirous. Maybe I missed it, but where is the time travel in the Elf Quest?
