Hasbro 2021 Remake: Public Unboxings ARE HERE!

[Kurgan]

Thanks for the update, let us know!


How feasible would it be to create a new cover for the quest book(s) and then just sew it into the existing stitching? (I'm no seamster here, but could give it a try).

Edit: Fixed the first page links that were messed up.

In the new Rulebook intro, Ladril the Elf is said to be from Elethorn, rather than Athelorn. "Northern Dread Wastes" replace "Northern Chaos Wastes", as expected.

The new Game system's quest book says the Heroes will be acclaimed as "Champions of the Realm and dubbed Sovereign Knights" if they complete the 14 quests (classic edition read "Empire" and "Imperial Knights"). The Dwarven stronghold which features in Kellar's Keep, where "the King" (no longer the Emperor) is held up with his army is now referred to as "Kaba Karn" instead of Karak Varn). Thanks again to deadgamer for revealing these and many other changes!

Did one last (for the moment?) video covering the new rumors on social media but also covering a few changes and some gameplay questions from the Mythic stuff and changes to the lore in the remake here on youtube.

I spotted another stream from somebody on youtube covering the Mythic tier. There are so many these days... HomeBaseGames on YT...

Shadzar pointed out there's a Knight Hero expansion coming exclusively to Gamestop (in Canada, apparently) that has 2 new hero figures (male and female "knights" without helmets but sword and shield). Starts with armor (3 defend dice for shield), 7 body points and 2 mind points. There are also 12 cards (presumably 2 hero cards and 10 "skill/power" cards we haven't seen yet). It is "limited edition" but otherwise the set is the same as the Game System, so no KK, ROTWL or mythic tier extras (no Sir Ragnar). Pictures of the minis and hero cards have been seen online and a generic box cover but that's all so far.

HispaZargon pointed out the Alchemist Shop in Prophecy of Telor is not the same as KK/ROTWL but includes two different potions (for which there are no cards):

Potion of Magic (new graphic)
When consumed this potion allows a spell castor to regain three of the spells they have already cast on a quest.
400 gold coins

Potion of Healing
This sweet-smelling potion liquid restores up to 2 lost body points when consumed.

200 gold coins

Shadzar also posted that Hasbro has released the Rulebook AND Game System Quest book in a single PDF file to the public (in full color) at the Hasbro Customer Care website Thanks!!

Trying to keep up with all the news releases today... thanks for your patience!

The Commander of the Guardian Knights, leader of the king's most trusted warriors, has joined the heroes to protect them from Zargon's forces.

Hasbro Pulse emails just came in saying the retail release is official (for pre-order) and the Companion App are released.

Hi, thank you for the reported news.

Have you noticed that for the first time we can see an official picture of Balur, the Fire Mage?? (sticker album excluded) You can see it in the app video, minute 00:50 ... then, he is supposed to wear a cloak with hood.
