HeroQuest 25th anniversary crowdfunding!

[Thrawn]

My biggest worry with this is that the rules will not live up to what some have done on here, and I'll wonder why I paid so much to get something inferior to what I have been getting for free.

EDIT: That's actually my second biggest worry...my biggest one is that Hasbro will shut this thing down in the next year and all the pledged money turns into a legal defense fund.

[Thrawn]

The thing I'm trying to figure out around here is how many will be using this version. Will writing expansions assuming people own this set work? Or will I be better off just ignoring it's existence.

[TMU]

Atleast for me, it goes like this:

I buy it. If I like it, I'll play it.
Or
I buy it. If I don't like it, I won't play it, but put new quests on the old HQ and play with that.

As simple as that. My

[Sjeng]

Damn.

I never saw so much hate & s....ts comments about copyright crap or bad communication and blah blah blah here and everywhere on US boards.
For one time in their lives, american people seems to discover there is a hole full of water between Europe & the USA and that it costs a lot to send more than 4 kgs by mail.

They are right. There IS bad communication, even before the KS. And shipping within EU is also rediculous.

Why the price is in canadian dollars ?

Because when you open a kickstarter project you can't launch it from everywhere.
Just check the official page and see it yourself.
Since Gamezone has a company in Canada, they have found out more simple to launch it from there.

It is NOT ALLOWED to start a KS from anywhere outside USA/CA/UK. Do they really have a CA company?

What's the price for an european ?

110€ for the last pledge to get all bonus.
Add 30€ to euro countries for postage & package. Total : 140€.
Spanish people will pay less. That's normal after all.

As I said, rediculous. I've paid LESS for USA kickstarters. (MYTH for example)

The average price of Fantasy Flight boardgames : 80 to 100€ the box (descent etc).
+ Postage & package & Bonus : zero
Another example : 65€ + 12 of postage & package here in France for D&D WOTC boardgames ... not traduced.

D&D boardgames (Ashardalon/Drizzt/Ravenloft) are €55,- each incl. shipping. Descent is available everywhere and costs €70,- if you look ariound a bit.

Translations ?

Right now they required help from fans to make a quick update of the pages but they are going to hire professional people.
GameZone Miniatures exists for more than 20 years but it's a small company running with a tiny team and I can tell you they are doing their best.
So yes they don't communicate so much. They are too busy on this KS trying to finish the videos which are coming, waiting for the latest minis to put the photos online etc.

How hard is it to comment? I do hope they will get a pro translator.

A thing to remember :

YES it's a rebirth of HeroQuest and there are things which are going to change. It has been the case with Space Hulk V3 & V1, with many games in fact.

NO.

I don't see the rules, more things etc

Then wait a little bit plz. I just watched ALIENS VS PREDATORS kickstarter : I only see some minis, ugly tiles, a short explanation of the rules and predator character sheets that's all.
Nothing about aliens marines etc. Do you think they are not Professional too ? ... if KS start to open door only to "Professional people" with money then let's give it up because only big companies will purpose something that suit your desires to see everything at the very first begining of the kickstarter.
I remember was talking to one of the 3 french creators of Zomibicide and his first video was rmm was what it was
Wasn't convinced about the game at his debut but people don't like to remember this kind of stuff when they are talking about HeroQuest kickstarter.

This is a project at 80% right now.
They offer stretch goals for free which is not the case with other KS which are asking you more & more money.
So I won't tell you more about it. You'll see it by yourself.

You're comparing this with AvP, another failure in communication. Try comparing this with MYTH. Or Reaper. There are plenty of KS's with WAY better communication and better prices.

Don't hate Sjeng

[sajungzak]

I don't hate Sjeng
______________

Let's try to keep an open mind here. Yes, communication has been considerably lacking, but they are supposedly going to be posting daily updates from now until the end of the KS.

There are some aspects I like, some I don't care for, and some I didn't like at first but are already growing on me. The strange central room for instance. Yes the surrounding rooms have that square sticking out, but think of the diagonal attack possibilities in the corridor!

I would have done it differently, but I can only say that because I'm not doing it. Besides, they are asking for our feedback. I'm sure if anyone here made a tribute game there would be plenty of things I wouldn't like about it. And if there are any changes to the rules I don't like, I will simply ignore it, chalk it up to crazy Spaniards, and play the game the way I think it should be played.

After all, my name IS Zargon, and Zargon means... ME!

______________________________________________
OOo Ooo I just thought of something (regarding crazy Spaniards)."You killed my father. PREPARE TO DIE!!!!" The R.O.U.S.'s are already in AHQ! I dunno tho. The Dread Pirate Roberts would be no match for MY evil minions. Andre the Giant however...

[TMU]

No I meant that Sjeng should not hate

[Sjeng]

I think he knows

I don't always hate, but when I do, I do it profoundly.

[torilen]

Yeah, just don't say that line from Princess Bride around a 3 or 4 year old. They'll pick it up in a heartbeat,
and then go around saying it everywhere - and not the whole line either, just the part where you should
"prepare to die".

[Tott]

if there is something that you hate so profoundly, so passionately, something that's very existence causes you excruciating agony. you have no choice: hunt down these people, capture them. torture them. kill their friends and family in front of them, make their children beg for mercy before your slowly and savagely snuff out their short, pointless lives in front of their now gibbering sires. hell even kill their dogs and flush their goldfish down the toilet. then and only then will these scumbags know: there is only one HeroQuest. and it is yours.
OR
just stop reading this thread and looking at the KS. just a suggestion.
there's a whole ton of crap in this world that i think lessens the species and make me feel ashamed to be human. war, poverty, religious intolerance, hitler, justin beiber, the list goes on. i dont have anything to do with any of them.
except justin beiber. im hunting him down.
anyone know if he has a goldfish?
