Ich poste mal die gesammelten Infos...

Give them the fantastic and fabulous (and least surprising) news that a Spanish company, GameZone Miniatures is developing what will become a deluxe edition for the 25th anniversary of HeroQuest!!! Have you heard right, publish a edition for HeroQuest ANNIVERSARY rights have HeroQuest brand in Spain (only here, but will in several languages). The game will be out in a big way, with miniatures and scenery resin high quality. All creatures will come with different poses (and delighting transparent bases well with the board), no matter if they are 8 orcs (the same type of monster Heroquest), these will come in 8 different poses for each (not 3 like happened with the original, which was then only in the type of weapon carrying.) The scenery is ALL in 3D, including rocks to block the roads. Also come with much new material and in some cases more quantity, more like a treasure chest, a library of over, a new well, a mirror, a portal! even a cage!!. And I\'ll tell you will not be and can not be exactly like the original game (it would not make any sense), but keep much of his essence, his style ... a board very similar redesigned (system design similar to the original HeroQuest). It is possible that the end can carry the same basic game room new templates (I convinced them to make it reversible! Let in ONE TWO boards.) The illustration above is the new barbarian from HeroQuest (the text I have added I, of course ) and there are many surprises, but I can not shut me is that come the 4 basic heroes redesigned, but will not come alone, if not their female versions!! and more ... The letters, illustrations ... everything will be in color. Could you guess that these letters correspond reverse? \'s official website GameZone Miniatures: http://www.gamezoneminiatures.com where you can see the quality of the miniatures they do!

GameZone only has licensing rights to sell in Spain.

- There will not be fimirs, but there will be equivalent reptilian creatures.
- It will not be overly expensive (in Line with Descent V2). PS: Here\'s another to be shared one par ... at least.

Das mit der nur-Spanien Lizenz ist schade. Und wenn die das Spiel in mehreren Sprachen veröffentlichen, hoffe ich die nehmen jemand anderes für die Übersetzung als ihren Pressetext Schreiber...

Ich liebe Heroquest aus meiner Kindheit aber brauche eigentlich keine Neuauflage. Ich hatte gehofft, die 25th Anniversary Edition wird eher eine reguläre Neuauflage an der die Kids von heute Spaß haben können. Aber Schaden kann\'s nicht, als her damit!

Der Kickstarter wurde vorläufig offline gestellt. Da hat es wohl jemandem nicht gefallen, dass jemand, der nur eine Lizenz für Spanien hat, den weltweit angeboten hat.

Moon Design aus den USA. Ein kleiner Rollenspiel-Verlag der in den Staaten z. Zt. das \"Glorantha\" Rollenspiel betreut bzw. das dazugehörige Regelsystem \"HeroQuest\".

Ist zwar nur eine Seite der Geschichte, aber macht soweit Sinn. Da haette Gamezone wohl entsprechend kontaktfreudiger sein muessen oder eben die Hasbro Lizens vorweisen sollen. Schade eigentlich, immerhin geht es hier ja nur um eine Namensgleichheit, die so schlimm nicht erscheint. Frage mich gerade wie es sein kann, dass man seine Rollenspielpublikation Heroquest nennendarf, wenn doch GW sicherlich den Namen hat schuetzen lassen?

[Poliorketes]

Nicht GW, MB. Das Problem sind Sublizenzen, spätestens seit dem. Merchandiseboom bei Herr der Ringe ist man da vorsichtig, weil es schnell um richtig fette Summen gehen kann.

\"GAMEZONE Communiqué, Saturday 30

We would like to inform you all
about the present situation, after the pause of our Kickstarter project
by Moon Design P. during the thanksgiving holiday, which is an
administrative petition within Kickstarter.

Yesterday, Friday, at the start of the day, U.S. east coast time, we sent a letter to Kickstarter, LINK
invoking our legitimate trademark rights so they would deactivate the
pause and let us progress in the fund raising campaign. We are waiting
for Kickstarter’s reply on this matter.

Simultaneously we,
Gamezone and Moon Design P., had a reunion to discuss this issue face to
face as and not email exchange as was what was happening up till now.

Moon
Design P. solicited the pause in Kickstarter because of fear that
Hasbro could act against Gamezone in our crowed funding because we are
using an American company on American soil. Their argument was that
Hasbro could act against them as well for not impeding us in this
project. Even thought they are not in any way included in this project
or affiliated with it.

If Kickstarter does not reactivate the
pause taking into account our letter ( indicated above in the link),
then it can only be reactivated if Moon Design P. asks them to. For Moon
Design P. to do so they are asking for two things: An official letter
from Hasbro in which it states that they, Hasbro, will neither act
against our HQ25th nor Moon Design P. They, Moon Design P., have also
demanded a considerable sum and percentages from the Kickstarter
project.

If we wait for Hasbro to make a declaration, which we
can solicit, weeks or even months could pass. With that our production
and creation calendar would be severely affected, as not having the
funding to continue the campaign.

If the Campaign does not
restart soon, the HQ25th will not be ready for Christmas 2014. It will
not be ready to celebrate its anniversary.

There exist 3 possible solutions to this conundrum.

1. Kickstarter reactivates the project attending to our petition
2.
Wait for Hasbro to declare that they are not against this crowed
funding campaign of HQ25th en Kickstarter (an American Company).
3. Immediately move the crowed funning to a platform within Europe, where no risks of legal repercussions exist.

Option
one; we can only wait, we cannot be sure that Kickstarter will lift the
pause. We cannot influence their decision any more than we have
already.

Option two; Hasbro is not obligated to do anything at all.

Option
three; here there is no risk, except of course we will raise less
funds, no other platform out there at this moment has the same public
pull as Kickstarter.

Why are we telling you this? As our backers, what would you like us to do?\"

Na denn  :popcorm2: . Wenn sie sich einigen koennen und den amerikansichen Markt ebenfalls abdecken, dann ist das doch ganz nett. Oder eben zu indigogo gehen...
