Oh man this is ridiculously exciting! Thank you for bringing the news to your followers
I knowwww!
Congratulations you called it bro well done
This means that against the ogre horde is confirmed, or more likely because the leak is now legit
I was pretty trusting of it being legit, although I was disappointed to find my own local games store didn't have anything on HQ other than a re-release of KK and RotWL. Wonder if they got revised innards?
Okay the Monk is awesome! And Soaring Dragon to me is so many movies and such where they just sidestep trouble.
I'm excited to try out these new abilities! I really like the new packaging as well. I'm going to have to order two of these so I can play with one and keep the other on display.
I can't believe Hasbro actually revealed this at Gencon.
I've been so used to living on leaks and discord teases that I thought the most we'd get would be details about one of the Mythic releases.
More of this please Hasbro.
This looks interesting. Not quite what I expected, but interesting.
@Amalgamash Thsnks for the #GeekGoneGiddy shout-out. As ever may the dice forever roll in your favour.
Wow cool reveal! Hope it gets released this year! Great rundown AA. Thanks!
Speculating a holidays release, maybe Nov, I'd think / hope. Love the hope in my chest the pre-order sign brings.
@@AmalgamAsh preorders probably go up after gen con.
Fair enough, yes, they are Eastern Styled Monk, but you knew someone had to throw it out there... ; )
And I was notified this morning that the Wandering Monk is available for preorder as AH. Expected date of 01/15/24 (I ordered 2). Looks like we may be settling down to once every six months instead of a quarterly expansion of players/quests.
I will be interesting to see how the elemental styles will interact with each other and in real play. As for the unarmed combat. After all elements have been used, that may be the time to break out the weapons, maybe the staff, or someone will develop some num-chuks, or perhaps sais, with the potential of being to disarm an enemy combatant.
I'm curious if we're going to see other traps that my require the monk to jump them? Could help thwart some of homebrewed traps out there.
Ooh, I've been trying to make a HQ Monk for years. This is awesome news!
WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
hype train
Very nice!
This is awesome. Missed your stream today, and missed this, stuck in meetings all day. Not how I wanted to spend my day, but this makes it all better!
Pretend your meeting is a tournament next time. They'll be sorry!!
Per my YOI post, it occurs to me that, with the dramatic departure from classic HQ in the art style... What *IF* this were something of a test bed product (or even just an inter-expansion primer), for a future Quest Pack. You mentioned this as well. To take it a step further, what if that new art style was heralding a Far-Eastern themed Quest Pack? What if it were based on the Japanese core game from back in the day... Or at least inspired by it.
I do not actually expect this to be the case, but it is fun to ponder.
Personally, I am okay with the closer and closer to D&D tropes we've gotten, though I certainly understand it may bug some of the purists in the realm. So far, I'm digging the ongoing innovations to HQ, and I'm looking forward to this and the other leaked expansions on the horizon.
Solid vid, Ash. Thanks for the effort.
I'm loving the mechanical diversity myself. This is much different than I could have imagined, and will take a little more thought to strategize and synchronize with other players, than a dwarf per se. Don't get me wrong, plenty of folks like the simplicity and I can't blame them. But this adds flavor, playstyle....and a while new thinking cap to put on when wishing to have precedent for new homebrew!
Uuuuh sweeeet! I did not expect to see the monk (or any other news in general) so early!! It looks really amazing, can't literally wait to have it!! Although... I am not 100% sure how well the far-east monk style would fit in the Heroquest world (a cleric might have been better?), well, we'll see. Do you think are there any chance to see even POT and SQT at Gencon? I just can't get enough 😆 However, many thanks for your great updates Ash!!!
If there are far-east cultures in our world, I don't see why there wouldn't exist far-east cultures in a fantasy world.
And they are called "the wandering Monks". This idea of a mystical warrior that is a "traveler from the East" is not something new (1972 Kung Fu TV Show?).
@@carlosbarreto4695 Indeed yes.. you're right, as in the worlds created by George Martin (Yi-Ti, Leng ecc..) and J.R.R. Tolkien (Harad, Rhûn ecc..). Heroquest World has never been so expanded and developed and I am not used to that yet.. probably it's just that. It'll be really interesting to see how this (world-building) development will happen
@@alessandrosantopietro2234 Asian Monks are a fantasy archetype since the early days of Dungeons & Dragons, which is nearly half of a century ago (1975).
Ash, you were right. Expansion quest, expansion character, expansion quest, expansion character
I hope it continues. Even if with rereleases of our mythic heroes.
@@AmalgamAshI hope they will re-release the Bard, the Druid and the Warlock. With the Rogue, Knight and the Monk, that would be 10 hero options. What is not to love?
There he is! But I am sorry you aren't going this year!
Next year, has to be!
I am hopefully doing the same. Hopefully!
@@AmalgamAsh At least Kurgan is there lol!
So many elves in this game, how about some more races for the new classes.
Have to agree with this. More Dwarf representation please!
I would love if this somehow connected to the islands from the Japanese version of Hero Quest. Maybe this tournament is for the honor of becoming a champion to take on Grimdeads plans
This would be so, completely, incredibly amazing.
I'd love this.
The monk class in general is having a bit of a moment - in Baldurs gate 3 with the 1.0 version of that pc game, they have also added a monk class with things to make it stronger than in normal Dnd.
😮
Tournament worlds end ? Are they coming with a big fight expansion ?. My players will love this hero
I think the tourney introduces the far east type characters, rather than us going to them, they come to our lands and that will explain their presence.
Now, mentor convinces then to join the heroes...
@@AmalgamAshI think they will do an online tournament or app like Pokemon go where people can play on their phone or something
Interesting idea.
Now I think back to the Rogue Heir - the letter in that pack set up Mage of the Mirror (which was the next published pack) & indirectly tied to Rise of the Dread Moon as it was also set in Elethorn (3 releases in a row all tied to Elethorn starting with the Hero pack).
Could this scroll with the Wandering Monk be doing something similar?
Wasn't the rumour / speculation (after someone phoned one of the "leaky stores" up) that the 2 Mythic Packs would come out before the Monk?
If that release order is accurate, the Monks scroll could easily be setting up the story for whatever comes next year.
Or it might not. Look at the Guardian Knight - there's no pattern to any of this. Does that make it more exciting? The scroll could mean anything or nothing.
I look good in my blue sneakers!
I had a suspicion :D
I did invite you to come hang out with me in Indianapolis. Maybe next year buddy. ;)
When there was the announcement of four new quest packs, it didn't occur to me that one was actually a character expansion pack. This makes me wonder if one of the other three is also another character unless this is the only one. I'm glad it is a new character even if this will feel more like DnD at the current rate. Only thing really missing is a ranger if you want to count the guardian knight as a fighter\paladin mix.
The others are confirmed quest packs - they've already been released in some form! Two mythic tier and one classicly!
Thanks, AA, this is a really intruiging update. The "new" heroes have seemed to have a BP + MP = 9 to offset their skills. Is it just me or is this hero really really good? ~ GA
Monk seems to be a strictly better Elf - once the unarmed attack is taken into account (+1 Attack Die) you have an Elf with +1 Defence Die & 4 Repeatable Spells.
There's got to be some Equipment restrictions we aren't seeing, because this does seem "too good" even compared to the Knight & Rogue.
This looks incredible! I'm wondering if there's a East-themed expanaion in the works. Imagine if we got Asian furniture or even monsters!
Sushi bar.
This sushi smells like abomination... OH NO
still want bard want bard etc couldn't get mythic from UK
Will it be in English only?
What I don't understand is, the male has the plus sign next to his atk, but the female doesn't have that plus sign. However, it still says at the bottom of both their cards. They gain 1 additional atk when unarmed. So what does the plus sign mean if it's only on the males card.
It's a good question. The app version retains this as well, only having the mark on the male Monk card. So no conclusive answer as to why!
If he regains his abilities just by waiting in a corner with no monsters in sight, he can have 8 abilities at each battle. If he uses the fire abilities and rushes to find more monsters after 2 rounds, he can use them again. That doesn't sound fair compared to other heroes who can only use an ability once per quest and it's usually far less than 8. Also, can you exhaust Soaring Dragon if there are no traps around? If not, you can never use fire in quests with no traps.
It is 4 abilities. Each card with 2 abilities on can be used once before that card is exhausted. That also means that the monk could use the other option besides the one for jumping traps if they wanted and that doesn't prevent them using the fire abilities.
It would take a minimum cycle of 8 turns to get to reuse the fire ability
You'd have to use the opposite side of that card, the other ability that I can't yet read!
On looking at this again, I was wrong. It appears that some of the abilities can be used on the same turn as each other. Both of the water ones appear to be possible to activate without using an action (the water one that is not fully visible appears to be activated when you take damage), one of the air abilities can be used during movement and one of the earth ones appears to be used in concert with an attack action. In theory then, all 3 of the non-fire abilities could be used in a single turn.
In addition, the rule appears to be just that the air, water and earth abilities are exhausted before the fire ability can be used and recharging can happen with any element you choose when there are no monsters in line of sight? So I think you are right that you could cheese it with the fire abilities every 2 turns without any need to recharge the other elements if you choose.
You can only choose one Elemental style to activate per the explanation card, so you can use a fire ability once every four turns. Some of the cards do take actions while others do not!
Opinion question. Is this straying to far away or a healthy original expansion of lure?
Thoughts to come in next podcast. Wanted to wait to see if it was a far east Monk, or the Templar kind... but I did guess it would be east.
@@AmalgamAsh i guess to become original at this place you have to stretch it
Well, Monks are present in d&d since back 1975, years before the classic HeroQuest release in 1989. By contrast, the Warlock class appeared for the first time in d&d 3.5e (2004), almost 30 years after the Monk.
And we all know that d&d is the main inspiration for games like HeroQuest. So I don't see why a Monk hero could be considered as "straying too far away".
@@carlosbarreto4695 i completely understand. I just hope its accompanied with a smart story and expansion
@@82fdny97 I'm not sure if we are going to see an expansion for the Monks... Otherwise, they should just be there, like the Knight in the Rising of the Dread Moon.
But it's likely that we will have a story, similar to what we saw with the Rogue.
New enemy must be fat panda.
LOL
Can the monk carry equipment?
I have to infer that the Monk can, since the card gives the bonus "if unarmed", but unsure about armor harming abilities!
@@AmalgamAsh so why not arm up?
@@AmalgamAshI would bet they can't use armor and shield, but might be able to use the Staff and Swords. Perhaps they will even have Monk-only Staffs.
Eh, this doesn’t feel like heroquest to me. I like home brew but since the rogue these heroes have been creeping further from the original treatment for heroes. I guess that might not be a bad thing but at some point the elf, barbarian and dwarf are going to feel super bland in comparison. It’s starting to lose its simplicity.
I still say that the Rogue Heir should have been a Halfling - no class, just a race like the Elf & Dwarf - and I wouldn't mind if they kept all the same equipment, & skills.
Just feels like a better fit to how the Original Game did things.
I like this idea. Perhaps when I create a Rogue for my classic game system, it'll utilize the Talisman halfling.
