[keglo]

*wringing my hands in anticipation* :wink:

[HeroscapeLunatic]

Well, I know everybody has been waiting for quite some time, so I figured that I would finally give you what you've been waiting for.

Just keep in mind that the Heroscape Omnibus is not complete yet, and that it will always be a work in progress because of the growing popularity and need for Heroscape. I will continue to add sections and supplements as the need arises or if I simply decide I want something specific for my own personal use. Since that's how this project took off anyway...

Now, let me explain a little about how this website/forums works.

1: I don't want anybody on this site to get the impression that my forums is a challenge to Heroscapers.com. As I said before, I could never, will never, want to compete with such a great site as Heroscapers.com.

2: Heroscape Omnibus is project website that is meant to stand alone from Heroscapers.com, much like VirtualScape, and any other program or useful tool that is meant to aid Heroscape. Please do not post any of the information from Heroscape Omnibus on to this or any other website without my permission. I am a very nice guy and if you ask I will usually allow you to use my work for the right purpose.

3: Heroscape Omnibus gives the registered user the ability to view the project in its entirety or download it for their own personal use. Each section/supplement has its own forum for viewing and discussion.

4: Another feature I added to the Heroscape Omnibus site is the ability to track the production of every unreleased section/supplement. In the same section, I have added the ability for users to test out the unreleased part of the project and test it to make sure its spot-on as far as text, graphics, and overall usefulness.

5: Discussion areas are meant for clean topics and general conversing. Consider that whatever you can or can't do on this site, goes the same for my site. The same rules apply as far as posting and overall behavior. Keep it clean and spam-free.

6: I would prefer that anybody from this site that registers, please register using their same username, simply so I know who I'm speaking with or allowing on my site.

As a final note, I would like to say to the creators and supporters of this site, that by me removing my project from your boards does it intend any form of disrespect. I enjoy this webste and its community as a whole. I plan on staying a member of it as long as Heroscape is around. The Heroscape Omnibus has just become too large and cumbersome, and therefore I have deemed that it requires its own home for easier access and editing.

If you have any questions regarding this project, the website, or just in general, please PM me on this site or the Heroscape Omnibus site.

Without further ado:

Awesome! Thank you. Now, just waiting for my acceptance e-mail so that I can check it all out. :wink:

Thank you to everybody that supports this project.

Sooooo... What exactly is this? I've never really followed this. Did you compile the card info, plus synergies onto a single unit card? That's what I'm gathering from the little I skimmed through this giant thread. Thanks.

It's much, much more than just cards.

Right now the Heroscape Omnibus consists of a website that has several sections with graphical representations that you can also download.

The first section is the Rules section, where I've taken every single ruleset and compiled it into one easy-to-use ruleset, containing all of the important stuff and weeding out all of the redundant stuff.

Section 2 is the Rules FAQs and it is a compilation of all the rules questions that have been submitted to Hasbro and been responded to. These rule questions/answers cover everything from figures to glyphs to terrain.

Section 3 is a quick-reference guide containing every released Glyph and its ruling, along with a visual image of the Glyph.

Section 4 is a quick-reference guide containing every released type of Terrain and its ruling, along with a visual image of the Terrain.

Section 5 is a guide of Synergies represented by Army Card pics along with a list of other Armies that bond with them and vice versa. Really good for when you are picking out your armies.

Section 6 is a freebie that I compiled to add some fun into the project. Thormun's Journal is the complete and up-to-date story of Heroscape as told by the Kyrie, Thormun. This is more for RPGers that enjoy the story behind the game and its characters.

Section 7 is an Ultimate checklist that lists every set, every unit within that set, and the amount of each type of terrain within those sets. I've provided check boxes for those that wish to print the pages out and use it as a checklist to track their collection.

Section 8 is a glossary of terms that covers game terms and Heroscape story terms. This section is currently in the creation process and has not been released yet.

The other half of the Omnibus is a collection of Supplements that pretty much were the foundation of the entire project.

Battle Dossiers are the full-sized Army cards (8-1/2x11 print size) that contain all Army card info, special power rulings, and synergy info for every released unit to date.

Battle Cards are trading card sized versions of the original Army Cards, that make it easy to look through, arrange when playing and take along with you when you have to travel to your Heroscape play date. What makes these cards different from the originals, is that, besides the obvious size difference, all cards that have had errata text released by Hasbro, have that text printed on these cards.

Official Battlefields & Scenarios is a disection of all currently released rulebook/online maps and scenarios created by Hasbro.

The final two supplements will be zip files full of images and graphics that I created for this project. It will contain high-res hit zone pics, army card profile pics, army card images, templates, and many other forms of imagery from Heroscape.

Hopefully this helps you understand what the project is all about.

Hopefully this helps you understand what the project is all about.

Oh yeah.

Thanks for the response. I couldn't really piece together what was going on, as I had no prior knowledge of this at all. I like when OCD gets used for good. I have no talent therefore my OCD gets wasted. :lol:

See you at your site!

[HeroscapeLunatic]

I posted some updates in the initial post of this thread. I'll keep this thread updated as new stuff is released.

[HeroscapeLunatic]

Updated the first page with some changes that I will be making to the Omnibus in the coming months.

[gnoccop]

Congratulations HeroscapeLunatic for your wonderful work!

But I have a problem...

I can see and read the on-line images, but I can't download the zipped version of the files...

Everytime I try to download a file, a timeout error make me angry :x

Congratulations again for your beautiful work.

The first post of this thread has been updated.

[Talos]

Just registered at the new 'digs' HL. Trust me to miss the memo...:lol:

[lefton4ya]

Is this site still used/useful? Didn't create an account, but wanted to check if anyone has used/updated it in the last two years first.

[Talos]

As of this time, the site is empty. Haven't heard anything from Heroscape Lunatic in a long time now.
The Omnibus was a great project. Most of the information is available here in the forums though, but not as nicely laid out.

[HeroscapeLunatic]

I've noticed that I've been receiving a lot of account activation accounts in the last few weeks. It's nice to see that the game is alive and well. Sadly, I do not have the time to devote to the continuance of this project. I have removed the site. Sorry for the inconvenience. I wish all of my fellow Heroscapers the best.

[HeroscapeLunatic]

I wanted to stop in and let everybody know that i have decided to breathe life back into the old Omnibus project. Unfortunately I lost every piece of information that I had invested into this project so I would essentially be starting from scratch. I have a new computer that I assembled myself and am operating at 8x the capacity as I did back in the day.

I have set up a new forum-based site that will allow me to post stuff how I want and will give an attractive way of presentation as well.

All I ask is if there are any 'Scapers left out that might still have any information that I had originally created. Perhaps the files themselves so that I can dissect them and re-envision the entire project.

I've heard rumors that WotC pulled the plug on HS, but we don't have to let it die just because production ends.

As I procure more information and start investing my time into this renewed project, I will post updates here on the initial post.

HSL

[SirGalahad]

Great to hear you're back on this!

[HeroscapeLunatic]

Good news! I found my backup files that I had uploaded to my wife's PC. Once I have some time to look into them and start dissecting the process again, I will begin the new project.

I will create a new thread dedicated to the release of the new HeroScape Omnibus 2.0.
