Heroquest remake by Hasbro - The BIG discussion thread

That would certainly be cool (and I can't take all the credit of course).

Have you ever used HeroScribe, Edge?

It may not be Mario Maker, but it's pretty simple once you start using it.

Too bad we didn't get the dice like in this Gift boxing video

Aw man you just reminded me about that cool promotional item that I'll never have

But yes, I much prefer those round edge dice to the square ones.

While I am not a Warhammer geek, I do prefer Fimir to Abominations. Dread/Chaos...whatever. That is just semantics. But Fimir were nasty when you know the Lore. Abomination fish men dudes just do not thematically fit. Where is the nearby body of water? What is this Creature from the Black Lagoon looking freak even doing in this crypt or dungeon or other place underground nowhere near water?

It is a minor thing to hang up on and I won't mention it when we play again. (Saturday) If the players mention it I will point out that the new edition will be mothballed once we play with it a couple times. I painted up 4 sets of old school mini's, I got the huge roll up mat (the one with double wide halls) and all my original furniture is painted. I only got the mythic tier because I am a HQ junkie. I seriously didn't need the new set.

Can you recommend where you got yours? Perhaps a small review? Im considering picking one up.

So I emailed Hasbro attaching a PDF of the email sent by GameZone Miniatures regarding their ScamQuest 25.

Here’s what I wrote to Hasbro:

Hello!

I received an email from GameZone Miniatures purporting to be a joint press release with Hasbro. Due to the disappointing history of this company I would like to inquire if this is a legitimate press release and the promises made in it are accurate. Specifically the press release states:

“European-based gaming company Ludofilia formally renounced ownership of its HeroQuest European trademark and its tabletop game project will be rebranded, though the contents will remain unchanged. Ludofilia will now be offering fans who previously supported Ludofilia’s independent crowdfunding campaign the OPTION to receive Hasbro’s version of the game, Ludofilia's rebranded game, or both.”

Is Hasbro aware that Ludofilia is sending out press releases on Hasbro’s letterhead? Will Hasbro be providing Gamezone backers with the game or is that solely Ludofilia’s responsibility?

Considering they missed several promised dates (heck, HeroQuest's 25th anniversary itself has long come and gone; it's more like its 32nd anniversary, if I'm not mistaken, and then there were delays afterwards), and everything else that happened, I don't blame you for being suspicious.

I pretty much decided with TseuQuesT, if this makes it to store shelves, then I'll think about whether or not to buy the game. I am not paying a single cent before it hits retail. And if it never hits retail, then hey, I kept my money.

Oh, I didn't even consider that it wasn't a genuine agreement between the two! Let us know if you get a reply.
I recently checked out the BGG listing for HQ25, what's up with those dice? Just going for something that stands out I guess.

I do not remember where I got it honestly. I got it from someone who was selling mousepads and game mats. But I really like it.

My brother pointed out that I probably shouldn't print out too many character sheets at this moment, in case Hasbro decides to sell packs of them at stores like Walmart and such, but it's still the best way to get more character sheets right now. I printed out just enough for the niece, nephews, and a few other people, but at this point, it's probably best I hold off on printing more until I know how things will turn out from here.

Though I think the UK ones should be used for any bosses I wanna make; they may be best for bosses, since I noticed my siblings did that. He also pointed out I should keep my master copies because you never know what will happen or how long things will last.
