They should at least have had a dedicated webpage up and running by now. But the crowdfunding should start up next week. Maybe that will tighten things up a bit.

I wonder if there will be any pics before the crowdfunding starts...
this is where I've been posting my painting progress so far:

I promised I would complain about what they change, and so I shall keep the promise. I am upset about what changes appear to be coming.

On the other hand, I have all the original quests and stats and whatnot on file or in hard copy. I give it a week before someone buys the game and then converts the stats and game back to a traditional feel, haha.
Sure it's pretty scary when the witch lord returns but what you should really be afraid of is "Resurrection of the Witch Lord". Resurrected baddies always come back more threatening than ever, usually kind of demonic with wings and horns and hell fire to announce their arrival. Think Gannondorf or Mother Brain from Super Metroid.

If it's not too expensive and I like the minis and furniture and whatnot it's gonna be just another board game to salvage for HeroQuest: The Real Deal.

I hope this KS will be:
- EU shipping included/FREE
- US shipping actual costs. (or a max amount)

I'd like to see this turned around in our favour for once :)

I have to say that at least my letter has a real wax seal. You can just admit that I'm a HQ visionary and I'll humbly accept it.

Yours doesn't have spelling errors. "Your arrows are still fly true"? lol, "Your steel remains vigil"?

oh, my Goddess, they are going to screw this up badly, with spelling errors alone. If I buy this, I'll wait for the revised edition.

n00b question: (never backed a Kickstarter)

When I back this project for the full amount (150 $); will I have to pay that when the Kickstarter finishes?
And then I have to wait until the product is released? (which can take several months)

Also, if Games Workshop starts a lawsuit and GameZone loses: then every backer loses his/hers money?

1. yes

3. I have no idea. You'd have to ask them. Good point though.
