Heroica: The LEGO RPG You Forgot

On my knees like a starved man witnessing the divine mercy of a loving god, I haven't seen anybody mention LEGO Heroica, Minotaurus, Creationary, ANYTHING

"Heroica: The LEGO RPG You Forgot" * me looking over ar the Heroica poster on my wall * No, I don't think I forgot about it

I think the world needs to get out of the "it's for kids so it doesn't need to be good" mindset.

I could NEVER forget Heroica.

I really loved these as a kid and my parents actually got me all of them. Probably never once played the game correctly or even read the rules but more or less just had a dungeon crawler for a kid.

Been playing this every (almost) Friday for the past year with my friend, I’ve added my own desert, graveyard and frozen tundra level, the graveyard has crypts with different seals and the frozen tundra has a mansion you need keys to enter and slippery ice paths, and the desert has booby traps! The original rules are lacking… so I’ve made my own rules, there’s camps with shops where you can buy potions (and weapons) and enemies give gold and higher level enemies gives victory points (encouraging battling them) That’s just scratching the surface I have a note on my phone with over 300 lines for text! I love this game and I really like making my own rules for it, makes me think feel like it’s my own game :)

Heroica casually being one of my top 5 LEGO Themes. It really deserved more

The pro-level tech for the scepter of summoning is actually to pair it with the rogue's ability and use it to farm gold.

How dare you accusing me of forgotting Heroica. I had the starter set and the forest one. In fact I still have them, although a few pieces lost or broke (The red guy my beloved :( ) over the time. I really liked back then and still love it to this day, but I always faced the problem, that I didn't had anyone to play with. My family deemed it to dificult. Not that they wouldn't had the mental capicity to learn it, but they lacked the motivation. Anyway my faveorite game mode was the team heroes vs team monsters. When one of the players controlled all the monsters. That really brought some life in the board.

miss when lego just threw out random themes

Man as a kid I never had a single set of these but I remember watching the little 3d how to play the game tutorials over and over religiously, so I still remember the series fondly

I didn't forget. These came out at the exact right time to be permanently stuck in my memory. I was at the age where I felt a pressure to ditch my "kids' stuff," cartoons and toys and such, so Lego Games and especially Heroica always struck me as the way to do Legos while being a grown-up. After all, it's Lego D&D before Lego D&D!

Man, Heroica was such a cool concept and fun to play. Though most of my enjoyment of the game was seeing the possivel potential with the game.

I've wanted LEGO to revisit Heroica for YEARS; when I was younger and used to mess around with LDD I remember workshopping a Marvel-themed version and trying to rework the rules to create more proper boss encounters and such, using different colored tiles to show where bosses would move next after the players' turn, having marked "hazard" spaces, new item types, et cetera. I remember specifically having a prison set built out where you had the main boss behind three security doors, which you had to unlock by fighting three different mini-bosses, each guarding a backup generator that could be used to unlock a door.

Funny that you mention Ninjago; Season 13 actually came with a board game which played very similarly to Heroica. All of the sets had some structure with board game tiles, your characters had health bars, there were traps and enemies and your movement and combat were determined by spinning a 6-sided Lego top. The sets could be placed on an included paper board, but they could also be connected directly together.

Maaaaaan. Used to love this game. Me and the boys would disregard the hero's sometimes and play it with the monsters. 4 players, one for the goblins, one for the forest, one for the caves, and one for the undead. Use to play it like a turn based strategy game. Goblins always had the edge thanks to owning the bay. But I remember building little structures to act as a barracks or defensive walls. Even went to some lego stores to get more of the space pieces to make more board. We made our own sub game with Heroica. I need to rebuild those sets and call the boys. Tonights a Heroica Night.

I still own the entire series of Heroica. I also have a few of the other games, Atlantis, the Minotaur one, and the dragon one.

6:23 looking at releases of the instructions, the polybag looks safe enough to remake from pick a brick places.

I adored these LEGO boardgames, so sad they didn't really take off.

Wow I forgot: these spawned an era of lego game-design for me! Absolutely loved Lego Games and especially Heroica. Also that is the proper reaction to Ninjago still making seasons.
