- what minis?
- in which style?
- card art
- new quest book?
- houserules and rule cleaning-ups
and so on.


How would that work without breaking copyright and still have pretty much the same game?

But that's just it. If it's not "really" HQ, what's the point? It's has to be official and have the brand name to make sense.
otherwise it'd just be a cheap knock off. I wouldn't buy that.

This reboot is not a fake.
I'm the french official translator.
I've started yesterday for Game Zone on the very first cards.

The artwork is different, the miniatures are different (and better until 8 different orcs !), the texts are different too and the game name remains the same.
The spanish company owns the rights.

Just wait & see (news next week)

Lorenzo Pablo on BGG read some leaks on the Spanish site and recapped the latest news (5 posts down). Getting more interested, that's for sure. Fearing the shipping.

Congrats on landing a cool job at the new HQ! |_P

Things are sure shaping up, but I'm still baffled at how bad they are at marketing this.
They should at least have had a dedicated webpage up and running by now. But the crowdfunding should start up next week. Maybe that will tighten things up a bit.

edit: reposting this for your convenience ;)
Lorenzo Pablo @ BGG wrote:- Kickstarter starts on November 22nd.
- In addition to the already mentioned 3 pledge levels there will be one in which they will add a picture of you and your friends playing on the back of the box.
- There will be miniature and furniture pledge levels and all components will be available on the company web page in case you need more of anything.
- Each Hero, male and female versions, will have different stats. There will be a huntress instead of a female barbarian.
- 6 spells on each school of magic for a total of 30 spells.
- Each miniature will have different sculpt. In addition to the original contents and the female counterparts of the heroes there will be some new miniatures: ogre, stone gargoyle, spectre, black orc and pit slime.
- There will be 50 completely new adventures.
- One side of the board will have a dungeon and the other will be outdoors with ruins.
- The old adventures will not be reimplemented.
- Enemies will be tougher.
- The mind value will be used.
- In the interview they talk about the help received from Hasbro Iberia (Spain and Portugal), which sounds like they have reached some kind of agreement and a lawsuit is out of the table.

And there is more, but I am sure you want to know what will be in the box:
- Board.
- Bad guy screen.
- 8 dice (2 movement and 6 combat, all by q workshop).
- Rules.
- Adventure book.
- Hero stats.
- 86 cards (10 artefacts, 30 treasure, 16 equipment, 30 spells).
- 46 miniatures (8 heroes, 6 goblins, 8 orcs, 4 skeletons, 2 mummies, 4 zombies, 4 chaos warriors, 3 drrakks/fimir, 1 stone gargoyle, 1 gargoyle, 1 chaos wizard, 1 spectre, 1 black orc, 1 ogre, 1 pit slime).
- 48 furniture elements, some of them multicomponent (18 doors, 4 chests, 2 tables, 1 throne, 3 bookshelves, 1 armour stand, 1 torture table, 1 chimney, 1 alchemy table, 1 tomb, 1 pit, 1 altar, 1 cage, 1 mirror, 1 statue, 1 death pendulum (sorry for the translation), 1 dimensional portal, 8 treasure chest contents).
- 35 resin markers (1 entry stairs, 4 secret doors, 8 fallen rocks, 4 double fallen rocks, 6 pit traps, 4 spear traps, 4 axe traps, 4 arrow traps).

And it will weight around 4 Kg.

Now, that reads like a charm. In theory, nothing to complain about.
I also fully agree with G-K. Worst nerd marketing ever.

I really need to see it. Only then can I decide.
Still: the contents list looks great!
