Author Topic: Heroquest Petition. (Read 3928 times)

I'm repeating a post idea from another site.
"There's a member at Boardgamegeek using a petition website to try and get Hasbro (or whoever) to take notice and re-release Hero Quest.
Yeah, it's a longshot, but the more Hero Quest fansite members that support it, the more possible it becomes. If European sites can be added in by threads like this one, the potential increases further. If you post on an EU site and are willing to risk some cred, feel free to help out.

A lot more signitures are needed to reach the 1,898 goal. Currently 602, last I checked. It isn't a whole lot, but should five or six HQ sites join together, that number should noticably improve. If the signatures tripled, maybe there'd be enough faith for the lurkers to get involved, kind of like a Kickstarter generating more interest as it grows. We can even make up our own stretch-goal rewards for shits and giggles. Or not. I'd leave that up to the more creative and perverse minds here if someone were to be so inclined.

Pipe dream? Probably. But if you're willing to take a hit for the game (I got one thank-you notice in my email), perhaps some momemtum can be gained. You can adjust their ability to notify you, as you can also set your privacy setting to public or private. What you are surrendering is your name, city, and state if you don't uncheck the box for displaying your signature publically when you sign. The petition guy still gets it, regardless of unchecking the box (a petition with no signatures is worthless). Be warned that if you display your info publicly by not unchecking the box, third parties may access your information at the site.

The suits needs to take notice and believe a market exists. Hasbro has re-released games in the past, and they recently bowed to a petition and changed one of their toy colors. The games-design heads have said maybe it can happen--they'd be happy with some version of a re-release if management approved, but nothing is currently planned. (I believe it was Skyknight that knew them and asked a couple of years back--hope that's right.) We need to give management something to think about by coordinating an adequate request.

If you are willing to govern the privacy issue and take a chance for the game, maybe something can be gained here. Personally, I'd like to see reasonably-priced expansions again. Who knows, maybe even the Wizard Quest Pack and Dwarf Quest Pack can see the light of day. All right, I'm just dreamin' now--but isn't that chance worth five minutes of following the link?"

Signed. I know they have rights to Heroquest but does that include the setting of Warhammer?

Elbows · « **Reply #4 on:** March 04, 2013, 11:21:52 AM »

I'd be in. I loved Hero Quest as a kid (and even Battlemasters). I really thoroughly enjoyed Warhammer Quest (easily one of GW's best games). I bet they'd make a fortune if they made a higher-res board, new cast models, throw in the expansions and sell it in the "boutique boardgame" realm around $70-80 for a well stocked box.

I need to see if a PDF exists around the net for the cards - as I could whip some cards up on Gamecrafter...hmmm...

signing. I still love HQ, and am looking forward to when my children are old enough to play it too!

MY four year old is a little too young at the moment but a few years he'll be ready. I loved making up my own dungeons in heroquest.

While we're at it - does anyone make notHero Quest dice? I swear I saw some on a website at one point.
