Heroquest remake by Hasbro - The BIG discussion thread

. . . taking bets on if HQ orcs will be "evil" or not, or just misunderstood.. . .

My money is on the Orc Bard being considered a heroic anomaly as only his unconventional soul is capable of appreciating the ancient-Orc-legacy thing to be introduced in the expansion. That will leave plenty of room for standard Orcs to be suitably naughty and rightly killed by Heroes, including the Bard. Awkward--sure--but that's what they have planned for us.

expansion, there was no such mention of any expansion, even the orc bard and Teos quest book were not linked like Joe Macaroni's dragon mini and quest book. Are you Teos?

They have planned for us? You seem to have inside knowledge that nobody has released yet by the wording present here.

If Ye Olde Inn is involved, then if someone would say it, it would alleviate a LOT of stresses many people have about this new version of the game and recent events.

Either way, i am taking your money and placing it in this sack, and should you win, you can retrieve it from the stairway after you have completed this dungeon.

What the hell did I just watch? I'm sorry, was I supposed to take that seriously? … Nope, can't do it.

the Orcs-as-mushrooms theory seems more and more plausible...

Just released this pic of the minis:

That's a terrible photo. The hero models shown are all clearly multi-piece models. Zombies appear to be cast in light grey instead of off-white, I wonder what the proper grey models will be. Those dice look awful, hope those aren't final.

my take on this new non-information.

is al they want to do is produce eye candy with no substance.. i am getting diabetes from this. The twitter now needs Wilfred Brimley warning people about it.

No expansion--right. I was thinking Quest Book, which is the main feature of an expansion. As we all know, that's where the new fluff, any new rules, and story of the Parchment Texts is found. Anything Teos Abadia has planned for Orcs will be put there, if anywhere. I recall Doug Hopkins, the HeroQuest project manager at Avalon Hill mentioning that a few.additions to HeroQuest may be coming down the line. I assume they''ll continue to be added in the Quests Books, as they ever have been.

Whether the Spirit Queen's Torment actually answers any questions with new lore, well we'll just have to wait and see. My conclusions about Tios Abadia's and Doug Hopkin's plans are just an opinion. Nobody at the Inn has any secret connection to the new HeroQuest--at least no members I know of.

Whether my guess about Orcs is accurate or a miss, at least we know your dungeon will be filled with proper ones, bad to the bone!

Yes Yes they will.



Wait. Fungus has bones now? I am going to need to ask this guy in for an X-Ray

Just released this pic of the minis:

This looks like the minis are being packed into trays, pre-assembled (they do look to need assembly…) Interesting. I wouldn't have expected that.
