What's Next

[Kepler]

What's next?

[Fallen Templar]

PONYSCAPE :D

[spacemonkeymafia]

smurfscape! they already have the blue paint left over from the orcs.

[Custom_Creator]

Star Wars all the way!!!!!

[stay_golden_PONYBOY]

PONYSCAPE :D...YES!

[Grungebob]

PONYSCAPE :D...YES! :rofl:

[ninthdoc]

Star Wars!

[Venom]

musclemen-scape?

[Joah]

While I think G.I.Joe (knowin' is 1/2 the Battle folks!), is coming down the pike. I went with Transformers.

I know for a fact, there are BIG expectations for this franchise.

While I'm okay with Marvel/G.I.Joe/Transformers. I will HATE the SW expansions.

What's more, I found out about HeroScape looking for terrain for SW mini's.

Lucas destroyed everything he built. And I have no intention of giving him 1 single penny from here on out.

Unless the terrain is cool.
****.

[GaryLASQ]

heh. i know what you mean Joah. when it comes to SW, it's a real lovehate thing for me also. but i could really care less about Marvel, GIJoe or Transformers. the only licensing/co-branding with HS i would give a second look at would be SW. :shrug:

plus my boys would be more interested in SW stuff for HS, not Marvel.

[Fallen Templar]

Boba Fett Vs Drake

The True Battle of All Time :excited:

[jdtenor]

STAR WARS :banana: STAR WARS :banana:
Let's go back in time I saw SW's when I was 8 when they used to do double features for the price of one. So I'm want to see Herocape SW's I'll be combining good times them with good times now

[CornPuff]

NARUTO! That would be a franchise I would like to see. It would be awesome.

For those of you that have just seen Cartoon Networks version, the series is good up till about episode 140, but its been CRAP for the last 40 or so, i stopped watching.

ah, bit torrent and fansubs, meant to be together

[RichardD]

Why is there no "all of the above" option?

For as long as Hasbro keeps churning out different Heroscape editions - whether as licensed properties or it's own creations - then the game has a future on the store shelves.

We don't *have* to buy each edition, or use them as anything other than terrain in "classic" Heroscape if we do succumb. We're not the target audience for most of the likely stuff, anyway.

However, the corporate buyers (for WalMart, TRU etc) who can decide a product's fate like to see shiny new stuff on their shelves (ideally with big name licenses attached), or they like to see products with a proven track record in a package that screams brand recognition (which explains most of Hasbro's lineup, year after year, of stuff like Operation, Game Of Life, Clue(do) etc - they're popular largely becauise they're well-known; they are not great games by any stretch of the imagination). Let's face it, Heroscape hasn't made it into that second category yet, and without a push from a whole range of licensed product, probably never will.

[InfinityMax]

Star Wars would likely give us some really cool terrain. I continue to not give a crap about licensed figures, but as long as a license has the possibility of cool new terrain, I'm all for it. Star Wars might supply us with some very interesting buildings. Same with GI Joe.

As much as I love Star Wars the LotR possibilities intrigue me the most.

[bluekitsune13]

I wouldn't like any other game besides the "classic" scape, but if it makes more money for them to keep pumping out expansions then I'm for it. If I had to pick I think Star Wars would be popular. Plus it could add a Sci Fi like battleground, that would be perfect for Soulborgs.

[markwars]

:lol: That's genius.

[webhead817]

I have to guess Transformers...that movie next year is like a huge black hole sucking in a lot of marketing power.

Star Wars...while it would be cool (in my book), I don't know if Hasbro would put out a product that goes directly toe to toe with the Star Wars Minis game it already has (via WotC). It seems to me, if they were going to do that, they would have already last year when the last movie came out.

[K/H_Addict]

i hate the idea. One or two variations is okay. It's just taking the versatility of the fabulous Heroscape way too far

[Jandars_Hope]

Well i'm not keen on the idea of marvel scape let alone any others! But if i had to choose from the options i would have said LOTR except i know that there are already similar LOTR type games about!

[truth]

lol @ ultradoug

[countblah]

If possible, Star Wars. That will fly off the shelves, and, as we have seen through various customs, actually lends itself quite well to the heroscape format (heroes, squads of stormtroopers, strong melee attacks vs. weaker ranged attacks, large monsters, etc).

[ultradoug]

lol @ ultradoug

yay!

[Su-Bak-Na]

lol @ ultradoug

yay!

That was hella funny UD, you should make a book of HS jokes for the HSers comunity. That would rock.One like the Codex not an actual book.

[ultradoug]

what my movies not enough for you?

[jcb231]

I think Transformers would absolutely suck unless they were truly in scale with the humans...and that would make them all at least as big as Jotun, basically....seems unlikely.

[Agent Minivann]

*shots skyknight in face*

*takes skyknights wallet*

*dates skyknights dauther*

And then I laugh all the way as I take Skyknight's HS inventory. Thanks for forgetting about that part UD!

[Agent Minivann]

What are the "hooks" that would be the draw for each of the mentioned licenses?

GI Joe: Maybe some more urban terrain, and buildings. Might have vehicles and equipment? The figs would go pretty seamlessly with some of the HS units.

Star Wars: Alien terrain, buildings, plants and people/critters.

LOTR: Not much as far as terrain (unless we're talking Moria), but the place this one would shine is the statues/LOS obstacles and the units.

Transformers: Cybertron terrain (metalscape anyone?). The units would have to be an incompatible scale, or moving toward 3 and 4 hex bases.

Others mentioned here and elsewhere

TMNT: Sewer terrain.

Ponyscape: Nothing here to see.

Carebearscape: Cloud terrain, but really nothing here to see.

Dorascape: Nothing here to see.

Smurfscape: Giant mushrooms, but non-halucinagenic.

So the obvious answer is Dorascape, because by the time it comes out the 8-12 year olds will have nostalgic feelings of the annoying little girl.

In all seriousness, I'm all for Star Wars. I think it has the best hook, followed by GI Joe. LOTR could be good, but it depends on the obstacles and maybe the units (read: Balrog). I don't look forward to trying to find Star Warscape for all the dumb collectors. I mean, really, how much are they going to get when they try to sell the stuff that everyone buys 10 of and never opens in 15 years? One word that crowd needs to learn: scarcity.

[skyknight]

Dorascape has nothing to offer, oh yeah, three brand new accessories with every pack

Bridge... Mountain.....Treasure Island.

Tree....ocean...Phillipino ***** house.

Parents know what I am talking about and are singing those right now :lol:

[ultradoug]

Kingdom Hearts! Come on! all the disney worlds are in it + new worlds only for KH!
Also Kairi! and shes mega cute!

[stay_golden_PONYBOY]

Ponyscape: Nothing here to see.
No way! This is the ultimate expansion set. Oklahoma circa 1965. 2 rival gangs; the soc's and the greasers. Ponyboy, Two-bit and Sodapop could be heros...seperate the map with literal railroad track hexes. Awesome!

[noodles]

Strawberry Shortscape?

[Roufus]

How about some GenericScape!?
Alot of the antimarvel people seem to like the idea of picking a set up just for the modern looking ruins.
If they're going to have alot of different 'scapes', how about a generic pack of STUFF to put on the board that has seperate rules for the seperate scapes?
Buildings, towers, walls, buildings sentry cannons, traps, buildings, more trees, buildings.

And possibly some buildings!

[Jandars_Hope]

Temples! Wooden bridges! Cannons defo!

[Teamski]

Hasbro has decided to hit the 5 year old market with Barneyscape, followed by the sequel, Elmoscape. Wonderful....

[ultradoug]

Wrong Sky! To get the youth of today involved the New Scape will interduce sad, depressed people whos hair partly covers at least half there face, I present : Emoscape.

*grabs Kelly Clarkson Safety scissors*


I guess I can only Dream

I don't dislike the new ruins because they're modern looking, I dislike them because I think they look lame.

[jcb231]

My favorite part of Dora episodes (yes, I've watched them over breakfast a few times) is at the end when she asks the camera "What was YOUR favorite part?" and then stops and stares for a few seconds while the children watching at home are supposed to answer. If you are watching that alone, and don't answer, you actually feel weird. Try it and see. It's as if the TV is messing with you.

She asks you questions a lot. It IS very creepy. My 3 year old niece always answers, but if I do happen to be alone in a room while Dora is on it creeps me out.

[ultradoug]

Dora looked upset when I said the best part was the end of the show. She stuck her tounge out me.
I was really scared.

[vernz]

i was torn between star wars and lotr they would be both great to have

[Doc_Savage]

I voted other -

Hellboy Scape

[Revdyer]

It's as if the TV is messing with you.

The TV is messing with you.

[Turtleboy]

Turtlescape.

I Second this option!

[Kepler]

Star Wars HS would be great, but I don't see it happening (at least anytime soon). Hasbro owns WOTC which already does a SW minis game. Maybe after that games dies, but it would be a long while before we get SW HS.

I would also like to see LOTR HS, but again I don't see it happening. Many of the potential LOTR units would be too much like CHS units (elves, orcs, etc.).

[jcb231]

I think if Marvel HS takes off, and I'm pretty sure it will, we will get SW scape real real quick, regardless of the existence of SW minis. It wouldnt' surprise me if that was the big Gencon announcement even.

Lord of the Rings I highly doubt.

[Kepler]

I think if Marvel HS takes off, and I'm pretty sure it will, we will get SW scape real real quick, regardless of the existence of SW minis. It wouldnt' surprise me if that was the big Gencon announcement even.

I hope you are right. I would love it.

The target market would be a little different. The WOTC SW game is more targeted at the teen and adult audience, where the HS SW game would be target to HS's typical audience (8-12 yo). But I still think there would be too much overlap between the two games. I know I would lose a lot of interest in the WOTC minis if SW HS came out.

The best is when there are a bunch of kids watching it and they are screaming out responses to Dora. My wife was doing in home daycare and had 4 or 5 kids ages 3-5 watching Dora. It could get pretty loud.

I would be fine with SW like terrain. If they continue to make "Master Sets", with new and cool terrain, I'll probably continue to buy it. :oops:

I was at a game store that hosts a SW thing every week, just last Saturday. It was packed. 90% kids, 10% adults.

SW Heroscape would bring many more players to the game.
But I'll still find it hard to find a game I think.

When I realized I only really liked two of the six movies, I gave up for good.

[jaques]

Okay, as much as I love Star Wars, I have to say that I don't see a ton of variety in the special powers area. Characters in SW tend to have Jedi powers, or else shoot blasters. And while I would welcome the opportunity to slaughter a massive Ewok/Gungan army, who the hell would ever draft it against me?

On the other hand, classic Star Trek is chock-full of great stuff that would have freaky special powers or just be fun to play:

Salt Vampire
Klingon squads
Red Shirt squads
Boulder-throwing giants from "Galileo Seven"
Black/White and White/Black guys from "Let This Be Your Last Battlefield"
Regular Mr. Spock
Amok-Time Mr. Spock with Vulcan battleaxe
Regular Capt. Kirk (with phaser)
Torn-shirt Capt. Kirk (for melee combat)
Gangsters from "A Piece of the Action"
Roman Gladiators
Roman guards with submachineguns
The Empath
Horta

Plus, it would be really easy to make terrain that looked just as realistic as the sets from the show.

[Hahnarama]

What's next???

that's the dumbest thing I have ever heard.....everyone knows that

Gen Con! :gencon: is

4 days, 8 hrs, 29 mins away!

BTW, Does anyone here know when GenCon starts? :wink:

[ninthdoc]

IMO, the best Star Trek unit ever would basically be "us"... Allow me to explain, The Gamesters of Triskellion!

[Joah]

The Gamesters of Triskellion!

That might have been the ep. that broke my ST cherry.

One look at the Green Babe was all it took.

Oh, god your killing me. I have to watch Dora so many times I am less more brain cells than all the drinking and drugs could ever have done.

The one that kills me is where Boots is having a Birthday party and its something like Stairs...Bridge...Party House. I'm thinking yea, right...you are somewhere in South America and with all the talking trees and animals I bet there is a lot of partying going on at your house. What kind of parents let their kid roam all over the place with a talking map and monkey to guide them.

I usually say something twisted and disgusting and my wife gives me dirty looks.

[geddy lifeson]

Oh, my vote goes for other...what else could we ask for?

METALSCAPE!!!

I want the exclusive undead rocker squad:

Randy Rhodes
Dimebag Darrell
Cliff Burton
Chuck Schuldiner

[krai]

While i think starwars is cool (minus Jar Jar) i voted LOTR it has lots of heros and some good poeple for squads. starwars wont happen even if not for copyright reasons then for the fact that people will complain about it no mater what they do i think Hasbro would do well to stear clear the force

[Zircor]

Voted for Transformers, as that will always be my first love for toys (second is Gundam). Hmm........gundam HS..... that would rule.

[HalsefighterX]

AvP....

I wanna see aliens and predators in a heroscape environment. oh and marines....

[DaveyNY]

I voted for "OTHER"...

I'm all for' TREK-scape'. :grandfather:

[Scapegoat]

I voted transformers, with the soon to be released live action movie it would be a good safe bet. I also think that would bring more players into the game. IMO,once a person tries Marvel or Transformers -scape,they are almost certain to give the original a shot. People who like the new scape stuff would probably buy a MS or two for terrain and try the original just because they own it. Then, HOOKED!

[grizz]

I would love to see star wars and from the looks of the poll I'm not the only one. :D

[mal1980]

WWEscape

[TheMainMan]

Don't know if anyone said this, but can't we have no tie-in's? I like Heroscape by itself.

[IAmBatman]

I voted other, b/c I'd love to see a Pirates of the Carribean 'scape. Pretty much just for the extra water and boats and boat mechanics.

[HalsefighterX]

I voted other, b/c I'd love to see a Pirates of the Carribean 'scape. Pretty much just for the extra water and boats and boat mechanics.YAY DAVEY!
Sorry, Davy Jones would be an excellent addition, of course I would be happy with normal pirates in Heroscape, boat physics would also be awesome (of course any form of vehicle would be Epic, I'm talking :starwars: epic)

[IAmBatman]

of course I would be happy with normal pirates in Heroscape, boat physics would also be awesome

I agree, but I'll take them any way I can get them.
Plus, a Krakken would be pretty cool.

Wrong Sky! To get the youth of today involved the New Scape will interduce sad, depressed people whos hair partly covers at least half there face, I present : Emoscape.

wrong again. they're gonna expand the Randy, Paula & Simon show into "A.IdolScape" (with special phone-in rules that are always busy on how to keep your hero from being eliminated next week!).

I think if Marvel HS takes off, and I'm pretty sure it will, we will get SW scape real real quick, regardless of the existence of SW minis. It wouldnt' surprise me if that was the big Gencon announcement even.

Lucas has already shown they will had similiar license over to competing companies (WOTC=SW Min's Fleet battles -vs- WizKids soon SW Pocket Model starship combat system). why not. expand the market.

i vote for other, but am torn between
SG-Scape and TrekScape.

although, just keeping things real, keeping with their own "in-house" system does cut down on the amount of cash they have to pay out in fees. so maybe my vote for the next license will be "HeroScape"...

[Fourshadow]

None of the above. Truly, Heroscape itself is so broad and inclusive that I find those other options (including Marvel) limiting. My $$$$$ will be reserved for Heroscape only. It's too fun to bother with branching out to the more focused offshoots.

[champrjk]

The Lord of the Rings!

[Jeabird]

I wish for Harry PotterScape. Hasbro already has a licence and with the new book comming out it would be a great tie in. And think of all the fancifull creatures you could bring in. Four houses battling each other, Deatheaters Vs. The Order. I think a mixture of original concepts as well. I mean it would be like the Dresden Files on Hexes.

But what I truly pine for in my soul of souls is ShadowScape. A cyberpunk scape with internet special terrain for Hacking, and City scapes for missions. :( It will never be though.

[MKSentinel]

Hasbro owns WOTC. WOTC owns Star Wars Minis. Star Wars Minis makes a lot of money. This may affect their desire to make Star Wars Heroscape. I might like to see it.

However...I'm a big comics fan too. But the idea of seeing Marvel Heroscape bothers me somewhat. This is an original game with an original storyline. I hate to pervert it by drawing in other media.

I mean think about it. Spiderman won't work for Jandar...Apocalypse won't be for Utgar. It's just not the same as good old Heroscape.

What I would like to see is more Earth heroes from history...sort of a borrowing from Anachronism. Ghengis Kahn, Napoleon, Custer...would be neat.

MK MarvelScape is it's own game...you can use the terrain from both games together as well as incorporate the characters into each game...but unlike the HS figures the marvel ones are not affiliated with the 5 generals

[MKSentinel]

I realize that. I just fail to see the point. If it ain't broke...

Though there have been a lot of customs on this site and being sold on ebay for superheroes. Maybe someone was listening.
