Ye Olde Inn

Hmm seems like a good time to raid this forum of all the files I haven't grabbed yet. Got a bad feeling if this is a total re-release hasbro is going to be targeting this site not soon after.

That has crossed my mind also.

I also thought so... and ebay also for people selling repros!
Anyway, some hints suggest there will be a crowfunding onn their HasLab platform at the end of countdown.
So not sure we will be able to see someting concrete in September yet.
HasLab link here: https://hasbropulse.com/collections/haslab
Or this can be just a new Betrayal version or Monopolu with a HeroQuest theme, who knows?
If they will re-release the real game I guess it will be totally re-designed, including miniatures and I hope they will not be the same style of the Wizards of the Coasts figures.
Games Workshop just collaborated with the game providing some pieces (miniatures), unless the rights expired I don't see any problem in using the same Fimir or Chaos Warriors names.
Finger crossed for one week more or less.

If this truly is going to be the end of the forums, I just want to say it was an honor to spend time with such excellent Dwarves, Elves, Wizards, Barbarians, Goblins, Orcs, Fimirs, Chaos Warriors, Gargoyles, Skeletons, Mummies, Henchmen, Ogres, various icy creatures and assorted Sorcerers (whether Good, Evil, or neutral). The creative juices and fun here was truly a blast! If they can put out a product good enough to "put us out of business" perhaps the Inn could return just as a fandom for that. Hoping for the best! If not, we'll all be back here in a couple of weeks or so, surely...

It will not be the end of the forum. Maybe they could just claim for copyrights of downloadable contens asking the official files to be removed.
But there is no law that deny us to discuss about our favourite game.

That Witch Lord looks too standard, but ok. I'll take Thanto's Witch Lord then. If this is real, I am in of course, but I will still mention the generic look and feel from time to time!

This
And even then... what a great way to revive a game, to piss off your entire targeted playerbase, by purging the internet. I'm not seeing it happening.

To be honest, the original HeroQuest miniatures are generic AF

Anyways I am pretty excited, but the artstyle of the witchlord is nothing compared to the great art of Les Edwards, which gives me a bit of a bad feeling.
Can't wait till next Tuesday

I think my issue is if game work shop isn't on board then yes there will not be chaos warriors. Okay so they change the figure which seems like no big deal. Except all the lore that comes with it. Except Heroquest is based on warhammer lore and you lose that.

I totally agree. The style looks similar exchangeable like the anniversary game someone was trying to produce a few years ago. On the other hand, the cover of Heroquest was back in the days only a, hence sophisticated, manifestation of a similar rpg cover style, too.

GW abandoned the old world. The four gods were never in HQ. What stays is the generic fight order against chaos, which you can license from Michael Moorcock, or good vs evil, which is generic.

Yes the old world had style. Hopefully they can do something about that.
