Power Rangers: Heroes Of The Grid
Renegade Games announces their first Power Rangers tabletop project:
https://www.renegadegamestudios.com/...id-coming-soon |
Hopefully this has some rules for creating your own Power Rangers team, and you aren’t just stuck playing as the originals.
|
It looks more like one of Renegade's straight board games than one of their RPG-veined products. If it is, I wouldn't expect a custom character system. I guess the details will come out when the Kickstarter launches.

Interesting!
Don't now how they picked some of the Monsters, like Madame Woe! There has been some talk about issuing a Hyperforce Board Game, but they could just use this as the basis, if it is something that can be switched-up with Accessory Packs or a "Sequel" Game! Use of "Grid" in the name and the fact that Beast Morphers is using the Morphing Grid as a defining theme gives a hint at the direction Hasbro is looking to explore! |
Perhaps now I can have an RPG of Power Rangers: Farm Force/Ushikai Sentai Nokaman.

Though likely Hasbro will want to explore the Legacy. Beast Morphers as a concept was a Saban era thing. Whatever Hasbro full plans to do, we won't see effects of until after it, or after the series after it, outside of toys. Assuming the next two series use archived footage and sentai series that have been made until now, any real original impact Hasbro would have on the show won't surface until whatever comes after Lupin X Pat from Toei, and depending on development cycles of when they started planning that series, maybe not until the one after it. So likely the next one after Beast Morphers will be the Kyu footage using one(unless they use Toq or another skipped series). Then after those 4 years(beast morphers and that), we'll finally start seeing whatever Hasbro has planned and has been working with Toei & Bandai of Japan on. This is why so much of the Saban teams came to hasbro to 'help in the transition'. As in, keep the current Saban era plans until Hasbro is fully situated to take over by working with Toei for original footage. Now that does mean the creative teams may have wider reach though and better company relations and budgets to get footage as well as will have different bosses now that'll sign off on ideas instead of sending whatever back to the drawing board. But don't expect massive sweeping changes fully yet. Go-Buster itself was built on a more grounded approach in general with teleporting weapons, and mechanic bays, so that does bode well overall. I do expect a Kyu adaptation would have heavy Legacy nods though and likely have strong ties to the grid too. Too much referential footage for it to not. Quote:

You are right that "Heroes Of The Grid" is following "Shattered Grid" and what follows! I missed that detail! However, all the references to the Grid will serve as a warm-up to whatever Beast Morphers offers! |
For those curious, the Kickstarter for this project officially launched today, and has already secured over $70K of it's $100K goal.

I really, really want those HyperForce miniatures
|
I've gotta say, I really don't like kickstarters for something when they already have the official licensing of an extremely wealthy franchise. How on earth can't they afford to make one tabletop?
|
*looks at The Binding of Isaac: Four Souls Kickstarter*
No, THAT was impressive. It also had much more reasonable tiers and a ton of cool stuff added on for free over the course of the month. |

That's ridiculous, scummy behaviour. This'd be a drop in the ocean for them. |

Still...given how many stories there are of kickstarters running away with people's money I can't blame you for being apprehensive about this project. I'm on the fence as to whether or not I'll end up backing this myself. I'll probably just wait for this to be released at Retail since all I want is the Shattered Grid set anyways. |
UPDATE:
Kickstarter is now sitting at $158K of now and is well on it's way to unlocking the first three stretch goals. A Finister Miniature and double-sided location cards to those that pledge $150 or more and is well on it's way of unlocking it's third goal which includes a Wizard of Deception miniature and Monster Cards. |
I'd consider pledging, but only after Gouryujin gets a minifigure. Feels wrong not having both there.
Kind of am hoping this goes over so well that Hasbro looks it over for full mainline release later. Or does some kind of board game RPG style version. |
Eh, it looks alright but I don't think my IRL friends would be into a Power Rangers game so I'm probably not going to get it.
Also, how come the expansion only comes with an Evil Green and they put Hero Green deep into the stretch goals? |

It is like, when Peter Jackson wanted to make the Lord of the Rings films. The Tolkien estate sold the rights to make movies based on the franchise, but they had no hand in funding, creating, or marketing the films. |
I just want the foot soldiers and Pumpkin Rapper minatures.

also yall don't really realize how the whole board game thing works nowadays do you |
hey what the heck the polluticorn, rhinoblaster, and crayfish miniatures aren't on the kickstarter, i want them!!
|
This looks really cool, but the exclusive expansions really bug me and inflate the price for completionist types. Like seriously, we're just gonna lock Lord Zedd and the White Ranger behind Kickstarter exclusivity? That sounds like some crap. However, I love this franchise too much, so I'm working to scrape together enough money to pay for all the exclusive stuff.

Yay for getting fully funded! Congrats to them.

Same as Lupin vs Pat is better as similar. Kyu should be next though. It's too much content for the toy market and needs the two year cycle to itself. Toq and Lupin vs Patren should be saved for once Hasbro brings the license back up to good standing and can do more risky shows or a side show, or can find a way to work them in as a guest team. We need something like Kyu to straighten up the continuity mess first of some areas. Then we can use Kyu to establish the growing branches like Patren or others. Though Patren does make for a good 'mid-continuity' series to explain the tech leap from Overdrive to SPD and the growth into a Ranger tech police force as the prototype team. Beast Morphers is a stand alone, or otherwise it'd make for a great build up to that too. While Toq could work as build up to Kyu using them as 'Time and space galaxy' trains, I think they might be better suited to leave in the wings for now, and use later instead. Also better to wait until later so that Hasbro has time to figure out the Den-O rights area to allow them reach into using those lower leg pieces and how to incorporate that into the various toy lines. So Toq should definitely be on hold for now until later. I think it's better to use Kyu after Beast Morphers, get the hype ball going big. Then premiere Hasbro's newest thing they were able to work with Toei on for the 30th annie, then have some open room to use and intertwine other stuff from there. Patren/Lupin is better served to save after the 30th, and see what else material Toei pumps out first, and hasbro needs time to navigate the rights areas anyway to see what they can intermingle and do. |
I could give fuck-all about some board game, regardless of what the theme is.
That being said though, the next time some asshat says there isn't a market for Power Rangers AND a board game, they can sit and spin because this proves otherwise. |
