Heroquest remake by Hasbro - The BIG discussion thread

[Leathaface79]

I ended up just 3d printing a bunch of secret doors to use and scrapped the tiles

Those look Great!!!!

That is exactly how I imagined it being. When the hero's search for Secret Doors I would imagine they turned a Torch Sconce and a Secret Door would open (Like Kiri in Beastmaster when she went to put her "battle gear" on )

Can I buy some from you?? Those look great!

I posted them all up in thingaverse ages ago after I rebased them

For all you guys hating on the new Orc Bard, here is a seriously fun Bard that I created ages ago. Way better than anything Hasbro is proposing and true to the vibe of HeroQuest. Also I remember reading somewhere in YeOldeInn that people were complaining that nobody had created a good Bard Hero. Well here she is.

The idea was to add only one additional hero that filled the gap between the Elf and Wizard with 5 body, 5 mind. I wanted to introduce more use of the underutilised mind points and I've managed to create a balanced character with a mind point mechanic that doesn't require any rule changes. I find her perfect because there is always the tension between spending mind points early and weakening your other spells. Can't imagine the Orc Bard would be anywhere near this good. They should have got fans from this site to redesign the game. Enjoy!

PS how annoying is it that the scale of the HeroQuest reboot is different so you can't mix and match the old with the new!

This is very nice, but she almost seems overpowered. Well, Soothing Hymn and Magical Songbook mostly. I'd love it if the Wizard could have a multi-use spell like that, and being able to attack after singing/casting SH is pretty cool. Like the Wizard casting Courage on himself and being able to attack immediately. I assume Dream only works on *her* lost mind points. Can Charm be used on Undead monsters or anything else with 0 mind points? Does she have equipment restrictions like the Wizard does? I am seriously considering using her!!

That is a fun Bard!! Might be slightly overpowered, but a fun set of skills and balance to play with

Nice work. Do you have versions without the photobucket watermark? Thanks! (PS: where's the Kabong??)

As for not being able to "mix and match" I'm not sure there's that much difference in scale, base of 23/24mm vs. 25.4 mm (for contrast, the original BOARD squares are 22 mm, yes, the mini bases are slightly bigger than the squares!). You could easily place any of the original content on the new board with no problem, but a lineup of remake minis on the old board would be a little cramped.

There is also a website that makes a custom Heroquest "mat" from the same material you'd get in a mousepad. I have one and it is excellent as well as having squares 30x30mm

Is that the X-Raypad shop? If so, any potential to do a quick review of it?
