Heroquest remake by Hasbro - The BIG discussion thread

Wow.


Shad's copy will be 100% Orc Bards (nothing else inside). Make the video!

I want to see this video now.

That would be great.

I wish we had a video of the poor secretary at Hasbro being blasted with random phone questions on the spot about obscure parts of the company that they aren't involved in.

That would be part of the video. It would be dobby from Harry Potter with a headset on, ideally.


I joked with ikarith about the bard thing. We should all (well, all of us that are actually going to open our boxes and keep the contents) donate our Bards to a single person, who will then create the joke video with his box. A few editing tricks and it could really be over the top, with the endless cascade pouring out with nothing but bard figures falling on the floor in a huge pile. Maybe the reviewer would got swallowed up by the now living mass of plastic, and then when he finally emerges he would be changed (like the goblin in the original commercial). "Once you enter, you'll never be the same again!"

You could destroy them all, increasing the value of the remaining orc bard figures out there too of course, but who wants to actually help the scalpers?

Somebody whip up an "Ebay Scalper" hero card. With any equipment he buys, he can sell it back at full price... 2x the price (roll a white shield on one die) or 3x (black shield), only if he's never actually used it of course.

more bad news showing WotC has been in charge of HQ all along...

Here's a bunch of art from Fizban's Treasury of Dragons! Fizban himself has a new look from Nikki Dawes, and there's a gorgeous spread of the full wraparound cover art by Chris Rahn.

When I was asked to create the druid character, I knew I wanted to start with a succulent. They are hardy, drought-resistant plants, which I thought was a good fit for a strong and battle-ready character. I also wanted to keep a lot of rounded shapes in the overall design to contrast with other characters. I included this with the way her hair wraps around the succulent headpiece, the rounded forms of the braid itself, the curved lines of her body markings, and her soft body shape. I also wanted to keep her clothing simple and something that she could quickly move around in, so I actually based her simple leather top and bottoms on gym clothes (with some fancy leaf adornments).

You only needed to look at the cringe that has been @heroquest to figure that one out, I think. Where else does that much over-estimation of their own wit, humor, and cleverness come from? They're trying so hard to be stereotypically "artisté" that they're caricaturing themselves.

I recently split the topic. All posts related primarily to the discussion of Hasbro or Wizards of the Coast rather than the Avalon Hill HeroQuest can be found in the Lobby at the newly titled topic, Hasbro.

Thank you much appreciated.

Charging my phone here at the Dread Castle is simple: I command one of the mummies to shuffle up and down the hallway rug to generate static electricity. Then I use that to charge my phone.

It’s not even magic, really.

Wow. Just wow. I mean who do they think the audience is here? I love the second comment on there with a backer pleading for any kind of real info.

No doubt the guys actually working on the product are scrambling to release for the holiday season.. But to provide this instead of any kind of status is a really bad move. The trust account is empty and will take a very long time to restore. Sad really.

It's just comedy. It might not be world-class comedy, but it is not offensive. It's interaction with fans when there isn't any new information to release. And most importantly, it gets people talking, like you are now, so I guess it is doing the intended job. No need to take it seriously, it's light-hearted fun.

As I said, it's likely that everyone involved in the project is busy delivering. This is a great thing and what I would want. Personally I really don't care about not having updates. However I do care about how the community perceives the process. This Zargon thing has clearly frustrated many backers. This is demonstrable fact and not an opinion. Business and perception of your customers is always serious. Nobody at Ye Olde Inn wants the shadow of pissed off backers effecting the reception of the wider re-release of HQ.
