Heroquest remake by Hasbro - The BIG discussion thread

[iKarith]

Calling it a kit is going a bit far, it's just a printout. The symbols to the side aren't even scaled to the same size as the dungeon map, so you can't just cut them out and stick them on even if there were enough. Might be better to just use letters on the map and write those over the symbols in solid black.

Encarmine (Chris Nadeau) said something about losing a bet as to how long it'd be before someone asked about making it digital when someone did … This was a piece of printed con swag, posted online for those who couldn't make it.

I'm pro-sticker certainly! But I have to admit I'm more likely to use a digital tool myself. I just want two printed ADK booklets with stickers, one to keep and one to play with. I'm not sure anything more … more … is likely to be a priority right now since hQuestBuilder exists.

Pre-ordered the Rogue set @ amazon.
FOMO.
I guess I can always sell it for € 150+.

No FOMO here. I saw it, it looks like a lot of fun to play, so I snagged that one! It's not gonna be limited like the Guardian Knight was, but I also don't want to have to wait for restocks while all the scalping bastards act as though they will be and buy out all the stock they can get.

Though I hope the scalpers do buy tons of them and get burned, burned badly.

Actually, I consider the DQP that someone completed on this site to be perfect, so AH would do well to ask permission to use that as it's basis.

Not sure they have a need to ask permission to do much of anything. These are their toys we're playing with, after all. That's easily (and often) forgotten, but the DQP/WQP that've leaked were nearly complete and have only been tidied up a bit by fans. That doesn't give them any kind of ownership or anything. They can use the unreleased thing or create something new or not bother at all. I'm hoping for one of the first two, myself.

I'm very glad they were giving them out in printed form at GenCon even though few fans are going to actually be able to get those (and shame on the people already scalping them online for $50 a pop, wow). Had they really limited the errata to those who attended the convention that would really be a bad deal.

But I wanted the stuff in digital AND printed form (printed inside the box if at all possible). Either way, making it available for free to everyone who wants it is the right thing to do. The ADK is more a piece of swag as only the blank map is useful and we can already photocopy the quest book or print out what's already been posted online just that page.

If I go to the print store in town and let it print the whole thing on waterproof flyers, I have to take 25 pieces but pay only $25-$30!

Are the GenCon fliers of Into the Frostlands printed on card stock, and are they perforated? Or are they just printouts on regular paper?

I wanted the miniature of Mentor in the Mythic set to actually have a purpose, so I have created a character card so he can be used as a master wizard in the game.
I'm starting to do the 1st Quest Book with the Bard, Warlock and Druid and Mentor is accompanying them to show them the ropes!
I hated the generic Wizard card showing Mentor but not naming him as such.
He deserves his own card and character!!

Nice!

Mythic Tier is already featuring a card for Mentor (which is named "wizard") and is an exact copy of the Wizard hero card with a different image.
I like your version more anyway.

Yes I know the card is in there as Wizard, but as it is clearly showing Mentor, it's a bit insulting to his awesomeness being named as a generic Wizard. Like I said, he needs his own card and stats! After all, this is the legend that has trained tens of Hero's over the years!
I wanted him to be able to pick any spells he wanted from all spell groups, mixing and matching, not having to pick a complete group, but this was problematic as it would leave incomplete sets for others (Elf) to pick from, so instead he has four sets to use in each game, or he can use his energy blast spell as a ranged attack each turn. (This was a nod to the Wizard character in the Gauntlet video games back in the day)!

Since you'll be sending him out with the Warlock, Bard and Druid I'd give Mentor access to all 4 Elemental Spell groups. IF he ever ends up in the same quest with the Elf, hopefully the Elf Spells from Mage of the Mirror will be ready.
