Let's just hope one of the other SMART game companies picks Heroscape up.

Sigh.

You clearly have no idea how Hasbro works.
Just because they discontinue a product, that in no way means that they'll let some other company (that they don't own - WoTC for example) ever make it. No, odds are that they'll sit on it until Hell freezes over - denying any other company from making a 1$ on it.
Maybe someday down the road though they'll dust off the brand if they see an opprotunity. They could also opt to liscence it out to someone else - but we've seen how that turned out for those third parties making 3x Ravenloft & Dragonlance books. Paizos deal to publish Dragon & Dungeon magazines also. Didn't we? One day the sun rises & they find their deals not getting renewed....

Nov 07, 2010 22:08:46 I got some for my nephew last Christmas, and I bought the Underdark set myself a while back. But I have never actually played it. The mechanics seem to be a take off on HeroQuest, adapted for the 3D terrain. I've never actually played it.

I know that some Battletech players use HeroScape tiles for terrain.
