Market Research For Wizards...

Let me ask you all this: We know that Heroscape has been tossed to the curb, but how about this question:

IF THE DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS PRODUCT LINE STARTED TO CARRY HEROSCAPE TILES, FOR USE WITH D&D, WOULD YOU BUY THE TERRAIN, AND FURTHERMORE, WOULD YOU EXHIBIT INTEREST IN THE DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS GAME ITSELF?

[AMIS]

I would consider buying terrain if it came without the 8.3 edition of the D&D books.

[delphic]

To answer the questions respectively.

1. Yes I would buy the terrain, especially if they expanded the terrain line to include some nice LOSB.

2. Would I be drawn to D&D, nope not likely, I know some scapers but D&D just has never been part of my social circle or interest.

Here is my question.

Would you buy D&D miniatures if they released official Heroscape cards for them?

Yes I would.

It's a good question SfTNT. The basic idea of some alternative marketing of some alternative HeroScape-ish products is one that would get my dollars.

[atmospro]

No because the they would reduce the size of the hexes to 1"to accommodate the base size challenged d&d figures..

[markwars]

OK I really want to laugh at a few comments here but my honest answer is...

ABSOLUTELY

If WotC or Hasbro or Mattel or some guy at a corner flea market was selling terrain - especially terrain I don't already have scads of - I'd be willing to buy it. Remolded glaciers - I'd take them in gray, brown, green, black, yellow, or just about any other colors. Remolded large plates in just about any color would get my money. I've got all the lava, ice, swamp and shadow I want, but if they could come up with other colors I'd probably take them too. Autumn colors, more of the Marvel colored stuff, more desert colored stuff...

Just mark me down for lots of terrain no matter who's selling it.

[Devil's Advocate]

Almost 100% no for me. I have more terrain than I know what to do with and cannot think of any other type that is really needed (have trees, bushes, lava, and ice)

[Killometer]

Except DnD uses squares, not hexes, so unless they change that for 5e DnD players won't want hex-based modular terrain.

[markwars]

Sounds like a great reason for WotC to sell another version of D&D.

[yagyuninja]

I'm pretty sure I would buy heroscape terrain from just about anyone.

They tried. It was called D&D Heroscape. It didn't work.

[markwars]

If anyone would try to repackage even a D&D failure it's WotC.
