I know, eventually, I'll be able to get my hands on a copy by hook or by crook.
But it's pretty frustrating not being able to part of the initial crowd funder, and I had to check my calendar to check it's 2020 for a moment there regarding this not being an international release.

$30 shipping for the $150 tier if anyone is curious. Also I had to pay $10 in tax. So $190 for the whole thing. Tax might be by state. Also they're showing the first streach goal at 1.2 million. Looks like a anime gnome warlock. But it's very tiny and hard to tell.

Y'know, between this and the new Oculus Quest requiring a Facebook account...and the rest of the crap thats happened this year...
...I feel like we've lost the world cup final on a penalty shoot out.
Its just a game. But not just any game.
If GW wants to do another Warhammer Quest this christmas, or Space Hulk...I'm in.

Seems really odd that in this day and age they'd limit it to just the USA/Canada; when so many "no name" firms have managed world wide distribution on honestly far more board game content. Especially when the original game was from the UK (at least in part) and thus likely has a ripe and ample market to at least make it worth considering looking at how to put boxes on a container ship.

So no mention of new gameplay. Well, no mention of gameplay at all. I guess it's just the old game?

Replace "odd" with "SOP". I'm sure there's a Hasbro bean counter asking why they're putting out a HeroQuest game when they could just put a generic fantasy Monopoly with fewer figures.

So....if anyone has already pledged, are you able to add additional copies? Or can you only pledge the one?
Only I’m trying to suss this out for the Loot Group.
I’m desperate for one, and there are many lovely US and Canadians who owe me some Loot related favours (not that I do it to collect favours).

This was in the stream. It's US rules with some stuff from the UK version added in and a few other changes.
All they've mentioned so far is a larger board (same contents, just scaled up slightly) and that the armory is now all cards. There's supposed to be another stream during pulsecon(?) that will go into more detail.

The UI lets you add more. I didn't go past the cart screen though.

Fools they, yes, but larger fools be we. Guess I'll hold my money until pulsecon. My success rate for crowdfunded board games is quite low.

Have a brother-in-law who lives in Ontario Canada. Used his address for shipping and getting charged an extra $135 for the privilege.
Does anyone know if his will get a retail release. Didnt catch all the video intro.

Has anyone outside the US/Canada tried the Paypal trick to get them to ship it to you? (like with the Barnes and Noble exclusives e.g. Blitz Bowl)

Wow. The $30 for US is actually pretty reasonable so I was hoping Canada would be too. But $135. Ya. that pretty much means it's a US only project.

So one of the designers in the bios mentioned a female Druid character but I don’t see that model?

We've only seen one so far which is a female halfling warlock at 1.2 million. there is something every 200k but so far only one new mini. Others are extra dice, repeated enemies and new quest book. For those that want it here's the timestamp of the new peak stream that briefly discusses the rules. https://youtu.be/GF5M7tIQsfk?t=338 The non US rules are alternate rules and not part of the main ruleset. I was wrong.

If you're international or already have a ton of generic fantasy figures, I'd look at eBay first.
I also found this...

The miniatures just don't do it for me. I guess I would replace them all with GW models (except the zombies of course).

I mean I do want it but I also have an original box as well as both of those expansion packs. If its just a straight reprint unless it gets to the stretch goals for the new hero/quest book I might hold off.
Also from what I've seen shipping to canada is STUPID EXPENSIVE. I'll be watching for now...

I was going to get them to ship it to my brother in Canada, but $135 for shipping?? Then I'd have to pay to get it shipped to the UK, plus customs charges...I'd be looking at well over $200 just on shipping.
Oh well, I guess I'm glad that it doesn't look that inspiring anyway, mini's just aren't doing it for me.
