Heroquest remake by Hasbro - The BIG discussion thread

[washi]

Is there an Italian here? I have relatives in Italy who will come to Brazil at the end of the year and I would like to know if there is any safe and cheap way to get the game. I would buy it and ask to deliver it to my sister-in-law's house. She would bring it to me for Christmas.

Unfortunately, at this time the crowdfunding for the English language Haslab release ended in November 6th. The crowdfunding also was not going to be shipped until fall of 2021 at the earliest.

There’s indication that it may be released globally, but we haven’t had any confirmation from Hasbro.

Thanks. When I notice USA/Canadá online I didn't follow the news anymore.

Are there any updates directly from Hasboro since the campaign completed? Like hey thanks for all your support, here's a steady stream of updates for you since you pledged ~$200 bucks with shipping for this?

The Avalon Hill page hasn't had anything new, and the guy with the painting series also just dropped of the face of the earth after his only video...kinda annoying and not very reassuring

@ajjohnsen So far the only thing that has been said since the end of the campaign was an email to the backers saying it had reached the 1 million mark and was funded and they would be collecting the funds from us the weekend after (11/7).

It also says you can get a refund if you cancel before Dec 7th, that release was in Fall 2021 and that you had 90 days from receipt to return, if un-opened. Supposedly those who purchased would get "updates" on production. That's the last I heard...

Yes, it’s frustrating to have radio silence after they’ve smashed through so many funding goals. I actually expected more interactivity than a Kickstarter because Hasbro certainly has the resources. I guess this is just one of a long list of projects for them, though. I’m disappointed that the HeroQuest revival doesn’t seem to mean as much to them as it does to me, though I love nearly every one of their choices, so… I’m still a happy backer, but they are squandering momentum, I think.

Also, did he post a video? I only ever saw photos…:

Wasn't there another place where stuff was being posted? I almost never visited the Twitter page (I don't have a twitter account), so for me it was the funding page or the "blog" that it linked from. Anybody know?

twitter has been silent too

even if you don't have a Twitter account you can simply visit http://www.twitter.com/heroquest with your standard browser and read the news.

Yeah, I didn't mean to imply you needed a Twitter account to READ twitter, sorry if I did. I meant I don't frequent the site since I'm not signed up.

There were two videos I was aware of, that guy who showed the painted dwarf figure and then the Q&A (was there just one or two?). I don't think I ever saw the earlier one. If it's all linked on Twitter, I just need to view it again. And the video of Stephen Baker narrating the opening to one of his quests is already linked on the "blog" page.

And was there an official facebook account that posted something? Because the "Hero quest facebook group" never approved my request to be added so I could read stuff but not post, but it seemed like just some fans talking (seemingly unaware of our community here...).

Sounds like we're desperate for any scraps of info between now and Fall 2021.

It's pretty frustrating to not hear anything from them. I backed Altar Quest of kickstarter and the publisher gave very frequent updates about the manufacturing progress and stuff like that. I also backed their miniatures line, they give an update every few weeks showing off the proof for the minis and stuff like that.

At least they're engaging their audience. With Hasbro, it feels like now that they have our money, it's no longer important to them that we get updates.
