A small thing, but I'd like the Companion App to allow editing of the name of the various allies/npcs/mercenaries...

I was wrong when I thought the Hearthkin Horn could be used in any quest to summon skeletons (and change their stats to allow a "fifth hero"), sadly it can't be used outside of First Light. Granted, there are more important things for the App, like making Rogar's Hall fully playable in it (and add the new Knight art, the new Druids)! I hope the App is available indefinitely... as a free item to enhance the game.

What about the Elven Bow of Vindication? That one is stated explicitly on the card.

Zargon cares not for "cards." All artifacts are open to all heroes at any time!

I recall a podcast where Stephen B was asked about other Hero characters that didn't make the final four cut. He said a Ranger was also one of the archetypes that he created and playtested in the prototype stage, but it overlapped with the Elf. If Stephen could collaborate on the redesign a Ranger, that would definitely pique my nostalgic interest.

I'd like to see every country (and language) that got HeroQuest in the 90's get it again, officially. Other than the brand new material there is significant work already done (granted, only the Brazilian edition in Portuguese matches the NA rules used by the remake, but still). Fan translations of nearly everything also exists if you know where to look.

And I'd like to see Hasbro Spain finally be able to give the fans there what they want (re-stocks of the expansions in a decent translation!).

Think upon the new Caverns backside of the First Light gameboard. Cool, right? Another Hero Quest prototype element I'd like to see "Baked" into a future release would be the larger Icognito-sized board that unfolds into 6 sections. I wonder if Stephen can still recall its general layout? Wouldn't it be more fun to have more rooms to explore and design Quests with a larger layout, as originally envisioned for Hero Quest before Milton Bradley/Hasbro suits scaled it back?

Another Hero Quest prototype element I'd like to see "Baked" into a future release would a larger 3-paneled (maybe 6-paneled) gameboard. I wonder if Stephen can still recall its general layout?
