Doesn't look like it's happening today. Avalon Hill is still ironing out some wrinkles with setting up their new "Avalon Hill" Discord server

EDIT: This was just posted on the "Heroscapers Online" Discord server by Chris Nadeau at Avalon Hill

I think all will be ready tomorrow based on the last message I received. As you can imagine, being Hasbro’s first ever Discord channel comes with some “extra scrutiny” and perhaps a need to banish several previously unknown gremlins from the software build. This afternoon there was an issue where the bots all tried to murder me when I attempted an intro post, and there seems to be an error associated with the duel authentication process. So they are on it, but like I said, a few bugs didn’t want to go quietly into the night.

I’ll give you all five more pieces of intel that may highlight how in depth this project is going. In addition to our “Heroscape War Council” that you all know are involved in the creation of new units and rules development, and our entire Internal Avalon Hill staff:
• We have brought on Ryder Windham, fiction writer for LucasFilm, who has been working with us to expand the narrative and story of the Heroscape Universe.
• Baldermort, from Baldermort’s Guide To Warhammer, has accepted the voice actor role of Thormun of Tealeron, for upcoming content and narration assets.
• As you can tell by the the miniatures presented at GenCon, we have put together an entire team of concept artists and sculptures to develop a new range of characters and species including: Max Dunbar, Bob Naismith, Matthew Larson, John Giang and the talented crew from Keywords Studios/Volta.
• The illustrators and artists at YellowFly and Pilot Studios (led by Chris Ford, who was one of the original artists on the brand in 2004, and their Art Director China Blue Rocket) are hard at work creating new art to help bring Valhalla to life in a way never seen before.
• The team at Atwater Studios helped us bring that teaser video to life at GenCon, and are in the studio right now on phase 2.
This will be BIG, we have assembled an army even Jandar could be proud of, enjoy the journey!

Thanks for reposting this! I hadn't seen any of it. Exciting stuff!

I’m glad to hear that they have got someone working on the story of heroscape.

If heroscape is gonna be entering into a more dedicated miniatures world it’s gonna want some more lore to help expand on a lot of characters. I’m excited to see how it turns out.

And now for a Shameless Plug!

Heroscape: Age of Annihilation--A First Draft Draft. For some simple ideas on how to introduce the NEW stuff into a game, see my signature thread, and join the discussion at the onsite home of The New York City Gang of Four. I'm starting to think about how I'd do it when AOA comes out and its my turn to run another custom scenario here for the gang in Brooklyn Heights, NYC.

You can also see the new scenario we'll be playing here at The Game Palace tomorrow (Wednesday 8/10/22), and many other adventures we've had over the years! Just scroll down to the end of the thread discussion on or near the Last Page, starting at Post 1322. And feel free to throw your two cents in; they will probably be just as good as mine...and get your Second Edition Heroscape juices flowing!

Chas, Your Host For the NYCG4

Well, this is absolutely not something I ever expected to happen. Congratulations to the design team for bringing this all back. It's almost incomprehensible to me that Heroscape is returning. This community has always been great, and I'm proud to celebrate this with all of you.

His armor apparently will work similar to Lebowski Thor and now Sir Hawthorne rides a hover Harley a Korean Crotch Rocket and has an electric power lance! I can’t wait to see the new sculp!

Tell me you've never been under an NDA without actually saying you've NEVER been under a NDA

If we told you, we'd have to kill you.

I’m laughing at how long it took you to figure out how to craft this response. I guess Geek Squad got you up and running again?👴🏻
