New Mexico HSers...

[LilNewbie]

Just checking to see if anyone wants to start an HS group in Albuquerque. I have a small group that plays very irregularly but would like to get a group that meets at least once a month. We can meet at AI on Fridays or Saturdays. PM me or post here.

Newb.

[bunjee]

:bump:
Just so Newb can find some friends. Keep trying, the WA/OR thread took a while to pick up, and then suddenly I had a bunch of people over for Heroscape.

[LilNewbie]

Thanks, Bunj! :thumbsup:

I know there are people here that play because someone other than me is buying the HS stuff off the shelves when it appears.

Newb.

[bunjee]

Newb.That's hoe I feel about this area. I know that the Lynnwood Walmart got 6 castles in, I bought one, but I don't think anyone else that has posted on this forum purchased castles from that Walmart. So where are all these people!?!

[LilNewbie]

Bueller? Bueller?

*crickets*

:boring:


:D

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

C'mon, surely there's someone local who wants to experience 84 zombes, shuffling through a sprawling dungeon layout with Sentinels blasting them left and right?!?
All the while playing amid the beautiful backdrop of the Southwest American landscape@
I'd love to join you, NewB if only there wasn't that distance problem. :cry:

[hex706f726368]

Ummm...you're more than welcome to drive on over to your neighbors to the west and become an honorary Azhole if you can't round up a NM crew. :wink:

[LilNewbie]

Thanks for the invite. I'll check out the thread about Feb. 24th.

Newb.

[loborocket]

Isn't New Mexico a pretty desolate place? Maybe that is why you can't find anyone to play with?


Just kidding. I actually grew up in Albuquerque. (Sandia High School, Class of '89) Moved away to go to graduate school and never loked back. Sometimes miss things there though....(open space, endless horizon, mountains...) but I digress.

I know of at least one other HS player in Albuquerque. He plays with his son mostly I think. Maybe he is the one buying up all the stuff in Alb.? I will have to ask him if he has ever been to Heroscapers and have him check your thread. Not making any promises but just giving you a ray of hope and letting you know you are not alone there in New Mexico.

Unless you are him???

[LilNewbie]

Don't think I'm him but your ID loborocket could be a clue to having some ties to Alb, NM since the "Lobos" are the UNM mascot. :D

Newb.

[Codeman]

OK LilNewbie I will be in Albuquerque April 2, 3, & 4 leaving the morning of the 5th. So I will be up for a game or two any or all of those nights. I will be at the Sheraton Uptown ( 2600 Louisiana Blvd NE ) are you anywhere close?

Let me know.

[MKSentinel]

I'm in Alamogordo. A bit far to travel regularly, but if you could PM me when you have big tournaments...or post to the New Mexico thread...or this one.

Adam

[LilNewbie]

I'm in Albuquerque. If you are ever going to be in the Duke City, just PM me and we can try to set up a game or two.

Not a tourney in sight here.

And I am moving in a month, so I will never have the chance to participate in one in New Mexico.

As a side note, one of my friends was telling me that he played at a HS demo in the Albuquerque Active Imagination. Do any of you fellows know about that?

[Stoner]

I live in clovis NM, and we have about four of us that play pretty regularly, and three more that jump in from time to time. But we dont get up to ABQ much cause its a 4 hour drive.

[TexMex]

Yeah, I just moved here and it seems New Mexico is comprised entirely of small towns far away from each other :? Anyway, I'm in Vegas, and Albuquerque, Alamogordo, and Clovis are all a little outta the way for me :(

[MKSentinel]

Why do I get the sense that this thread could be titled AF Heroscape players?

8)

[TexMex]

AF?
:?

[Stoner]

heh. Las Vegas is out of the way from everything. lol. Or as we have come to call it "Lost Vegas" you guys have the cruddiest road system in NM, and thats saying alot.

[MKSentinel]

Air Force...

I'm assuming many of the NM players in Clovis/Alamogordo and some in Albuquerque are military or dependants...

Adam

[Stoner]

I know 50-75% in clovis are airmen. We are the minbority that arent.

[TexMex]

I know there must be other Heroscapers near by; Wal-Mart's stock of figures have dwindled to just Nakita Agents and Gladiators. Someone's bought the rest of them :?

~Aldin, who has only ever been to the other Vegas

[TexMex]

Thanks for the well-wishing Aldin. For now, Target in Santa Fe will have to be my Heroscape headquarters :?

[MKSentinel]

Maybe we should piece together a NM tourney?

[TexMex]

I'm all for it as long as it's not until the summer and not on the opposite side of the state :)

[MKSentinel]

I would imagine it would have to be in one of the three bigger cities...

Las Cruces
Santa Fe
Albuquerque

Any thoughts. Might be able to drag folks from out of state if its big enough.

Adam

[TexMex]

I could do Santa Fe or Albuquerque. Las Cruces is just a little too far away :(

[Stoner]

Unfortunately for our group, I get 2 weeks vacation in the summer and they are all planned for, and one of our guys is gone from june-august. Which leaves 2. heh.

[MKSentinel]

Well if we did it on a Saturday/Sunday...

[TexMex]

That would be ideal. I'm still putting together my summer work schedule, but if things work out well, I'll have weekends off. But it definitely sounds like we may need to recruit from our neighboring states :(

[Stoner]

I work weekends. :(

[TexMex]

Stoner, you just keeping bringing me down :wink:
Well, maybe we'll have to wait until the fall...

[Stoner]

Sorry to be a wet blanket.

Fall might be a better choice for us.

[TexMex]

On the positive side, I may have recruited 4 new players :D I was talking to the husband of a colleague of mine, and he's been contemplating getting into the game. Both of them are fantasy freaks, so I told them to definately get it over the summer; they may come back to Vegas in the fall as 'Scapers :) Then, this evening, I met a couple of guys at the Target in Santa Fe who - like me - were shopping for expansions. Also like me, they were new to the game, so I told them to check out this site as we're looking for more NM players. Not to mention that my fianceé beats me half the time. So, before too long, we may have a nice semi-local group. Here's hoping :lol:

[TexMex]

Well, I'm going to do my best to keep this post active for any new players. My fianceé and I had another couple over and taught them how to play last night. They loved it :) Problem is they moved away for the summer but may not come back at all :( I guess I'll just have to wait 'till the fall. In the meantime, since we've been talking about the fall for a get-together/tourney, I thought I'd get a little poll going on location and date. As of now, September or October look good, but my travel range extends about as far as Santa Fe...since Las Vegas is a bit outta the way for most of y'all :oops:

[MKSentinel]

Sep/Oct sounds good to me and Santa Fe sounds promising. Need to find a venue...

[TexMex]

Yeah, a venue might be a task since I don't know Santa Fe real well. The first thing that comes to mind is this game store at the De Vargas mall. Oh! And there's another one down town. The former may not be so great - as they specialize in Warhammer and don't even sell Heroscape. The later may not be big enough...Any other ideas?

[TexMex]

:johnwoo:
This is me trying to keep this thread current :oops:
So I just got married and will be returning to NM in a couple of days with Heroscape expansions from afar - zombies, Kaemon Awa, another Volcarren Wasteland, etc. So my new wife and I will have some sweet new sets to play with. So...are the two of us and MKSentinel the only NM 'Scapers left?

[pinche_guey]

I'm new as well (a few months ago), would be interested in NM tournament or big game sometime.

[pinche_guey]

It looks like nobody has been on this thread recently. I have been playing the game and love it. I have mostly played with my girlfriend, but would like to learn more and play with some others. I have slowly gathered a small army with several terrain sets.

One note, a new batch of Flagbearers arrived at TRU a couple of weeks ago and disappeared as quickly as they appeared. Obviously, someone is playing, and/or trying to sell these overpriced figures online.

Dave :toast:

[TexMex]

Welcome to the game pinche_guey,
We did want to organize an event here and NM but were quickly faced with two problems: 1) we all live in different cities and 2) a lot of us were gonna be away for the summer. So we decided/forced to decide to discuss it further in the fall. So keep checking in the comming months. I'm sure we'll be able to pull something together.

[locusts]

Hello,

I am in Socorro and there are a few of us here that play. Mainly it is myself and the guy that got me into this game that own the stuff and about three others that play.

None of us make to ABQ as often as the short drive would seem. Mostly we play when someone decides to call everyone else up for a game. As for people buying the sets here locally, most people I have found buy it for their kids to use as straight toys and have no idea that this is a game.

[TexMex]

Hehe, "1984 living community" :wink:

But Socorro?! Why does NM seem to be so big but with so few people who play. The consequences are that whenever I get excited that there's another NM 'Scaper, I'm disappointed that they live nowhere near me and my wife. Oh, well. Here's me waving to you from afar :wave:

[MKSentinel]

Still here...and looks like I will be moving to ABQ in Feb/Mar...

Still interested in setting up a tourney.

[TexMex]

So am I - after seeing all the pictures from GenCon, my wife and I really wanna get out there and try our hand at 'Scapers other than the family members we've hooked onto the game (all of whom live on the other side of the country :? ). Of course, March is a ways off to plan, but there is Spring Break to consider so that might be a good time. Until then, I'm just hoping something will be put together nearby for Heroscape Day. Otherwise, Mrs. TexMex and I will just have a one on one all day 'ScapeFest :D

[pinche_guey]

Haven't written to this forum in a while, but still here, still have a board set up on the table (actually 2 since I picked up SotM - Wallyworld Carlisle), and still would be interested in a tournament, or maybe just a big day of gaming sometime in ol' Burquetown. :reaper:

I also have a beautiful girl and a not so beautiful friend who play often and may be interested as well. :P

[TexMex]

I like how you drew attention to one of those friends being a beautiful girl :lol:

[pinche_guey]

Whoohoo, I finally got wave 3 and 7. Now I have doubles on all the commons and singles on uniques, as well as doubles of all sets, except SotM, which after all, I need to look forward to getting something while waiting for Nov releases (yeah, sure they'll come out in Oct!). Was that a run-on sentence?

My beautiful girlfriend keeps whooping me though . . . :?

I'm working on setting up a gameday on Oct. 20th (National Heroscape Day) with a local store in Rio Rancho/Albuquerque area. More news to come in a few days.

If you can find a place me and locust can come this Thurs after ~5

Rio rancho could be another good place, otherwise I could invite yall over to my place on the east side.

[Omaga]

Lemme double cheak w/ locusts on tomarrow and try to goto the inqusitive again, mostly because I found it once so I can probebally do it again,

Say 530 or 6PM at the inqusitive, I still might be a little late w/ that depends on when I get off work, but nothing too bad.

We may have to cobble maps togeather when we get there but I have access to 3 RotV, 3 SotM, 3 Rttff, TT, FotA, and a VW, lets say 500 pts

do you know if we need to ask them (The Inqusitive) before hand if we can play there? I couldn't find a phone number on there site

[LilNewbie]

Hey! I'll see everyone there at the IQ on Thursday. Probably around 6:00 due to the drive from work. The other Alb. crew should be there too!

Table space should be fine on a Thursday night at the IQ.

[The Silver Surfer]

Hey everyone! I recently moved to santa fe, and was looking for players in that area, but i only play marvel heroscape, and will only play with people using only marvel characters because my parents and I don't like all the undead zombies, wizards or whatever is in the normal HS, so if you live in that area and are willing to play be those "rules," PM, otherwise, sorry.

P.S. I may be able to occasionally play in Albuqueque, but if you live in santa fe, all the better.

[TexMex]

Hey Surfer,
I think we can all appreciate you and your parents 'Scaping preferences, but you're probably limiting yourself on players - especially since there aren't that many in NM to begin with. You might think/talk with your parents about playing against other who might use the non-Marvel characters while you stick with the Marvel figures. But who knows, with the first Marvel expansion on the way, an all-Marvel tournament might appeal to others. But that's just my :2cents:

[The Silver Surfer]

Actually, I recently bought a RotV Master set, and my parents said all those characters were fine, so any character in that master set, or characters that expand on those characters (such as the soulborg set) are fine and I can play with those charaters, so I hope that opens more opportunities to play with some other 'scapers in my area.

P.S. It's probably fine to use any human, elvish, or robot type characters, but just to be sure, PM me what characters you would like to use, and I'll let you know if those characters are fine, but either way, I still prefer marvel characters just because THE MARVEL UNIVERSE TOTALLY PWNS!!!!!

[LilNewbie]

Welcome all New Mexico players!

Keep an eye on the New Mexico Event Thread as we are planning another Tournament sometime in March.

[hexplex?]

Sweet!

This means that that there are other people like me. I knew there had to be some hardcore scapers in Burque, because somebody is buying all the Wave 8 common packs from Wal-Mart.

I just started playing in Dec. 07. The boosters grabbed my eye the first time I saw them a few years ago. It's wasn't until I saw the new master set and they restocked all the boosters at my local Wal-Mart that I HAD TO BUY. I think it was Krug that did it for me. So now I spend my lunch hours running to stores all over town in hopes of finding HeroScape product. I know I could save gas and get a better selection online, but I love the hunt!

I rarely get a chance to play. Against anyone older then 8, anyways. So, I would love to get in to a little more competitive play.

I'm in the ABQ uptown area so hit me up if you want exchange some ego boosting for battlefield experience. This could be done in a kid friendly setting or in a bar, I just want to play.

I look forward to hearing from… anyone!

[The Silver Surfer]

If you're ever in Santa Fe, give me a call... err, PM, and I'd love to play! I rarely get a chance to play. Against anyone older than a 10 year old, anyways. ;)

[TexMex]

Welcome to the game and the forum, hexplex?:)

It's always good to get new players here in New Mexico (there aren't too many of us, sadly:(). But you're in luck. We get together every few months to play (though we're trying to make it more often). Our next get together will be no later than National Heroscape Day in October, and hopefully we'll play before then. I look forward to playing together.

[hexplex?]

I have set up a "In-Store Sightings" thread for us. You know, just in case you're driving through Deming or Taos and notice that they have a huge stash of Malliddon's Prophecy. Now you can tell everybody about it.

I got the stores in my area (that I have been to within the last week or so, anyways.)

Welcome Hexplex. I am always up for a game or two. There are a couple of us on the east side of town, and we might be up for a three man tomorrow. Give me a PM if interested. Also check out the other thread from time to time about upcoming events at the Inquisitive in Rio Rancho.

[The Silver Surfer]

Does anyone have any idea when the next possible tourney might be for 'round these parts? I'd like to be able to plan as long in advance as possible, as most other times I was already busy when they were officially announced. Thanks,
TSS

[TexMex]

You raise a good point, Surfer. I'll pose it to the movers and shakers and see what they say. Let's see, there was, if I remember correctly, about a three month period between "large" get-togethers (I believe they hold more regular, casual ones), and we've been about a steady 6 months between tournaments. I know Lil Newbie wants to have another release day party for Wave 9, but who knows when that'll be.

Off the top of my head, the next best time to get together for us will be the last 2 weeks of Dec. and the first 2 of Jan., but only because that's Christmas break. After that...Spring Break? I'll post it in the other thread, and see what we can do in the way of setting a general date far in advance.

[LilNewbie]

The earliest I can plan a tourney/get together will be sometime in January, 2009. How about January 10th? I'll speak to guys at the IQ and reserve that Saturday if I don't see any objections. Now what type of tourney do you want to have? Standard, Teams, Scenario (e.g. Heat of Battle) or some other type? Suggestions are welcome!

Thanks,
Newb.

[The Silver Surfer]

If, and that's a very big if, I could make it, I would prefer to do a simple kill 'em all (I assume that standard), just to see what that's like in a tourney before I move onto something more complex.

[TexMex]

I have no preferences about what style game we play, but January 10th, as of now, looks like it could work.

[The Silver Surfer]

January 10th, as of now, looks like it could work.

Same here. We currently have no church events then, so as long as I can get a ride down there, I should be able to make it.


But on a side note, if I had a demo during November or December, would anyone be able to come down to help out (a.k.a. hope nobody shows up, and play scape for a couple hours with me)?

[pinche_guey]

I couldn't make it on 1/10, unless maybe if it were at 2pm. I'd be off a marothon shift by then.

Hey Surfer,
I'm not sure how your parents would feel about it, but if the only thing that kept you from being able to go would be not having a ride, I'm pretty sure my wife and I could pick you up on the way. The only down side is that I reward my wife with shopping in Albuquerque after these tourneys:roll:

As for a demo day, I could probably do one in mid to late December. But November and early December are pretty much out of the question, as I'm a teacher and my wife's a student (which means we'll be gearing up to/grading finals:().

[pinche_guey]

Any plans for a game night this month? I'd be willing to set up maps again if anyone would like for some scenarios or three player games?

[The Silver Surfer]

I could potentially make it to something on the 29th, but that's still a bit iffy, so I won't be able to find out for sure until probably that week.

[TexMex]

This month's no good for me. Mid to late December would be the earliest I could plan something, regardless of whether it was in Albuquerque or Santa Fe:oops:

[The Silver Surfer]

So it sounds like January 10th is the soonest the most people could get together, right? Do we want to make that official? I should be able to make, especially if Texmex was serious in his offer, and my parents let me take him up on it.

I was serious, bud. And as of now, the 10th still looks fun. However, that's still pretty far in advance to make concrete plans for us. It's possible something could come up to keep us from attending:-(

[The Silver Surfer]

Hey great news! My parents said that if the tourney does happen, they'll find an excuse to go down to Rio Rancho, so I can definately make it this time (if there is a this time), so it looks like I won't be needing a ride from TexMex after all.

[pinche_guey]

If this is done on the 10th, is there any way we could start at 1pm (or even 2pm)? I won't have a chance of getting there sooner.

[TexMex]

Either time works just fine for us.

[The Silver Surfer]

Does anyone know when a good time to do a HS Demo day would be? I found a game store that will allow me to do a Demo for free, all I need to do is let them know when I want to have one, and they'll plan on it. Unfortunately, it only has enough tables for about 4 maps, but for a demo that should be great.

[TexMex]

Hmm...anytime after the 12 of December could work...

[The Silver Surfer]

Hmm...anytime after the 12 of December could work...

Did you mean the 13th? If not, then the 13th would probably be best for me.

[TexMex]

Actually, I looked at our calendar. Mrs. TexMex is opening an art exhibit she's been working on all semester that weekend :-( Maybe (big maybe) we could come into town the weekend after.

[The Silver Surfer]

Well it looks like I may have to take a DSST test that saturday anyway, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to do anything this month anyway, but I'll still try somethign out, even if I can't get help.

[The Silver Surfer]

Hu, I'm pretty sure this is the second or third time I've "revived" this thread. But anyway, my family is wanting to know whether or not the tourney is going to happen the 10th. Are we going to go ahead with it or not? If we are, we need to try to work out details ASAP. Thanks,

I second this. Lil'newbie has traditionally run these gigs, and done a fastastic job at it. If he is disposed of that day and others want to get involved, it may still fly. I will still try to attend, but won't be able to help run the event on that day.

[The Silver Surfer]

Well, since January 10th obviously didn't work out, when's the next chance for a tourney? February 14 won't work for me, but anything else this month or next month I could probably get to work out.

[pinche_guey]

With the release of wave 9, I thought it was time to revive this thread. A tournament or informal game is about due. I am willing to help set something up in July sometime if folks are interested, but I myself have no official support for prizes.

[loborocket]

If you do the last weekend in July I can stop in and say hello. I am visiting Albuquerque the last week of July for my HS reunion.

[TexMex]

I concur with pinche quey. Just about anytime in July should work for me. But I'm an on-call weekend lifeguard for a pool in Santa Fe. So conceivably, something could come up at the last minute.

[dingofire]

As a very new HS player in Albuquerque, I'd love to get in on this. I was at The Inquisitive in Rio Rancho yesterday (bought the Marvel set to go with my RotV), and they said they were planning on a tournament mid-July to celebrate Wave 9. They said to look for details in their next email newsletter (their site is pretty void of info).

[pinche_guey]

Yes, rumor has it that there will be an event in mid-July, and we are just waiting for the release of details at this point. I'm sure everyone is very anxious to play. I know I am.

Details posted (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=25626):) Yay, LilNewb:D

[LilNewbie]

Welcome to the area, dingofire!

Reviving this thread, but are we doing anything for NHSD?

[LilNewbie]

I'll talk to the guys at the IQ to verify space for that weekend and will post something later this week or early next week in the events section.

Thanks,
Newb.

[LilNewbie]

UPDATE: Check the following link for details on the Albuquerque NHSD tournament. We will be using the same structure as last time (different points and starting zones though) since everyone seemed to enjoy the random scenarios.

Please sign up in that thread or on the sign up sheet at the store (it will be there later this week).

Thanks,

Anyone interesting in getting a couple games before NHSD in NM? I'll probably be driving to Albuquerque early on the 16th or 17th in October. PM or reply if anyone is interested!

[pinche_guey]

I'm on call the 16th. That means I might not get off until 1pm! I won't know for sure until the day of, so I can't really sign up on the other thread. Same maps as last time? 500pts seems so small now.

[Eric_Cartman30]

I am a new player in Gallup, I just got a TON of heroscape stuff from a friend who stoped playing. I am total noob, but I am interested in finding more players close to my area. Send me a message or whatever!

[DeathDoom]

I just wanted to say that, despite the turnout, I had a BLAST at The Inquisitive for NHSD. Is it possible that an ubermap, 8-player game could be set up some time?

[TexMex]

For the record, if enough advanced notice was given, the missus and I would totally make the trip for that :-)

[LilNewbie]

I'm glad you could make it!

Early December, we will have a Zombie Island Saturday. We will play the scenario from the latest HS Codex and also setup maps for some pickup games. I'll have more details in a week or so.

Newb.

[TexMex]

Epic! The schedule's lookin' clear as of now :-)

[Sweet_Leaf]

I play but I live in the little town of Las Vegas New Mexico. :( Anyone close?

[LilNewbie]

Heroscape Day on December 5th! Details here: http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?p=953830#post953830

Hope everyone can make it!

Thanks,
Newb.

[The_Fixxxer]

I basicaly just joined to find other Heroscape people in my area. Espanola NM here anyone near by? I see that two supposed New Mexico Players have been banned. Should I worry?

[J4Jandar]

Only if you have made multiple accounts, lie to the forum members about it and post inappropriate content.

You activated an account just after two (or one scumbag) had been banned. If you are the same person then prepare your self.

If not, have fun and do not be afraid to ask questions.

[Glen_Quagmire69]

I am in New Mexico usually Grants area. Hit me with a PM if you are close by.

[TexMex]

Welcome! Keep an eye on this thread. We have a get together in Rio Rancho every few months :-)

[pinche_guey]

Gotta say, the new DnD Heroscape really sucks. I don't really play anymore since the conversion really bummed me out. None of my friends really want to play any more either. Additionally, it's been 5 months since a single NM thread has been posted to. Seems like the disapproval is widespread.

[dingofire]

Yeah I played a few games with D&D, I thought it was ok, really like the scenarios.

No local tourneys to keep the passion alive, though, that's what I blame it on. I'm seriously considering selling my stuff because they just sit in the closet.

Things are way too quiet around here. Is it the heat?

[DeathDoom]

I'm not sure why it's so quiet. Maybe it's time to set up another day at the Inquisitive. Anybody know what that would entail?

[TexMex]

My wife and I actually really like the D&D set. Playing with just that, we can set up, play, and put away a quick match.

I think having so many options makes it more difficult to just "pick up and play." Our last few matches I've limited the map size, and it makes our games small scale but enjoyable.

I too would be down for a game day, but I realize Newb always shoulders a lot of the responsibility for those. What could we do to help, Newb?

[DeathDoom]

Oh, and we can't forget that NHSD is coming up in just 3... months... oh gawd, I'm gonna die from Scape deprivation!

[JayMust]

Does the Inquisitive carry much HS on the shelf? I normally don't make it into Rio Rancho.

[TexMex]

I haven't been in awhile, but it usually has a nice little display of stuff.

[DeathDoom]

I was in a few days ago. Right now they have some wave 1 reprints (without many commons, sorry ;) ), a few castle sets, some marvel, plenty of BFTU, some wave 8 and some wave 10. That all includes some soldiers and wolves, some elves, and some rats. They have been keeping up with the waves and usually have their stuff about two weeks before the Walmart across the street (which sucks right now).

Also. Coffee. Delicious, beautiful coffee.

[TexMex]

Yes! I forgot about the coffee! And epic vegan cookies that constitute an entire meal :-)

[JayMust]

Thanks guys, went there and bought several packs: Wolves & Warriors, Elves, Snipers and Vipers and Heroes of the Molten Sea. Seem to have a decent selection, more on the shelf this week that Active Imaginations at least.

[DeathDoom]

Where is Active Imaginations? I don't believe I've been there.

[JayMust]

Juan Tabo and Montgomery, its across the street from Page One.

[Wind Lane]

Juan Tabo and Montgomery, its across the street from Page One.

Last time I was in there it was mostly a war game store - has it changed much in the past couple years?

[JayMust]

Probably 1/4 - 1/3 of their inventory is Warhammer or other war games, more if you count Heroclix, Heroscape and D&D minis. The rest is board games, RPG, and Magic. Of course the original name of the store was War Games West. They usually have 7-10 Scape items on the shelves. Probably less than that now that I've started playing.

Honestly, the Inquisitive had a better selection of Scape.

[DeathDoom]

I went to The Inquisitive today, and they seem to have refilled the shelves with waves 8 and a full set of D1, with 2 FotAs, a Marvel, and a SotM. I believe they will have D2 set up soon after the release date.

Oh, and TexMex? You got my girlfriend and I hooked on those freaking cookies. My god, those things are delicious.

[DeathDoom]

The Inquisitive has wave D2 on the shelf!!!!!!!!






:bump:

[JayMust]

Sigh, and I was in Rio Rancho on Thursday and they were not open.

[DeathDoom]

Hey guys, looky what I just found on The Inquisitive's forums:
Lilnewbie is setting up another gameday! (http://www.theinquisitive.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=164)

Lilnewbie! I seen you on the D3 announcement! Where are you??? :D

[DeathDoom]

The Inquisitive gameday was pretty fun (except the part where everyone went off to play some RPG :roll:), and it looks like we're going to see an NHSD tournament! If lilnewbie can enlighten us on the situation...

[TexMex]

I can't believe we missed a gameday! And we've actually played a few games in the last couple of months! Well, it's my own fault for not checking the forums more regularly :-( At least NHSD is already marked on my calendar :-)

Sorry about the cookie addiction, DeathDoom. There's a store here that sells them and my wife buys them in bulk. They often constitute her breakfast :-)

[TexMex]

So any word on a NHSD event this year?

[pinche_guey]

I'd be up for setting up some maps on Oct 23 if people are interested in playing either competitive or some fun maps. Unfortunately, I work this Saturday. Let me know here if folks are interested.

[DeathDoom]

Do want! I don't think it matters if we do competitive or noncompetitive. Maybe we could set up a dungeon or 2? I'm willing to set up a few maps too, since I've got 1 of each master set and a few terrain expansions.

[LilNewbie]

I'd be down for some games on the 23rd if you guys want to set up some maps. I'll let the HSers at the store know about it.

Posted an announcement on the Inquisitive board about the HS Gameday on the 23rd:

Newb.

[pinche_guey]

Thanks Noob.
This should be fun.

[TexMex]

I should be able to make it--maybe Mrs. TexMex too. But this isn't tournament style, is it? 'Cause we probably won't make it in till noon.

[LilNewbie]

No official tournament.

Newb.

[pinche_guey]

I plan to have some boards set up by noon. Plan for 500-600 points. Maybe even a team game or two.

[TexMex]

Sounds good. I should be able to make it. And I'm glad this isn't competitive-style. I haven't even seen the new figures :-/ Still, this should be fun :-)

[pinche_guey]

Missing you here TexMex.

[DeathDoom]

Wait... today was the 23rd?

BAAAALLS!!!!!

[LilNewbie]

Thanks to pinche_guey for setting up some maps and providing the miniatures for our 3-player draft game and stomping me on the castle map in our 2-player game (well played). :thumbsup:

Newb.

[TexMex]

I'm so bummed I couldn't make it! Some last minute things came up that afternoon, and a trip to ABQ was out of the question :-(

[DeathDoom]

NMSCAPERS!
We need to throw Scape a going away party! Something without the slightest mention of DnDscape!

[DeathDoom]

Has anybody been to Ares Wargames yet? There was an article in the ABQ Journal last Monday in the Business outlook, and their website looks interesting.

[Wind Lane]

I stopped in the other day.

Definitely a minis war game place. They had a some board games, but they were definitely slanted towards minis war games - meaning they were either practically self contained war games or a step or two from that.

The layout is really wide open though. There's a lot of playing spaces with some of them quite large. Four or five places with tables set up.

There was also computer gaming areas and a little area set up with some big screens that had cable and video game systems.

I didn't look into prices since I'm not much of a minis gamer (weird allergies to tape measures in games and a complete lack of talent for painting), but it seemed like it's going to become a pretty good place to game if a couple groups can kick start the scene there.

[LilNewbie]

December 11th @ 11:30 at the Inquisitive in Rio Rancho (www.theinquisitive.net (http://www.theinquisitive.net)) - Heroscape Game Day (Open Gaming) - Celebrating the release of the D3 Wave!!

I'll have some maps setup. Bring your figures, dice, cards and order markers for some great HS games.

Hope to see you there!

Newb.

[pinche_guey]

I'll have to miss this one. I work . . . as always.

[DeathDoom]

Hey, I might actually make this one!

[LilNewbie]

Just a reminder about tomorrow!

Thanks,
Newb.

[pinche_guey]

Anyone want to play a few games this weekend or next?

[DeathDoom]

I'm good for this Saturday or next Sunday

[pinche_guey]

I'm good for this Saturday or next Sunday
PM sent

[DeathDoom]

Hey guys, I come bearing pretty terrible news.
I learned today that, after struggling for several years, The Inquisitive in Rio Rancho, home to many L5R, Scape, Warhammer, Magic, and other players, is going out of business, and the doors will close permanently this coming Tuesday.
Tim and company are having a going out of business sale this week. I really hope you will come back to visit, and remember the good times had by many.

[Son of Arathorn]

Hey, if anyone can hear me, TOURNAMENT ANYONE!?! Bored outta my mind here, anybody want to gather for a game? Albuquerque, Taos, Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, wherever! Keep Scape live in NM!

[DeathDoom]

Excuse the delay, but I'm interested!!! Do you know of any gaming shops in Santa Fe? Otherwise Active Imaginations has a pretty nice new place.

[Son of Arathorn]

I don't live in Santa Fe, but I would drive down for games, of course. There's only 1 games shop in Taos, closest to me, that sells Heroscape, and has some, (possible) space for a tournament.

[DeathDoom]

I live in Rio Rancho, and Santa Fe seems to be the best point to do it, so that it's reasonable for both of us, as well as for other people in Albuquerque and Taos. I'll try to do some research on the shops up there- they've got to have something, right? Alternately, I'm not totally opposed to going to Taos, but it'd be an overnight thing for me.

[Son of Arathorn]

Yeah, how many people do you know of that play Heroscape in NM? I havent been in much contact with people from the NM HS community, and I'm dying for someone to play with.
I'm totally fine with going to Santa Fe, and if others are too, that'd be sweet. I just have no idea how many there are, or how many will come.

[DeathDoom]

Well, I know of Lilnewbie and a few of my friends, but there hasn't been much activity out here recently. Maybe I'll hit Active Imaginations in the next few days and post a flier.

[pinche_guey]

I have tried numerous times in the last year to involve people with little or no responses. I'd love to play, however.

[Son of Arathorn]

Well, that's three so far...
Make that 4...

[dingofire]

I'm open to it too.
I'm in Albuquerque but I work in SF and know some players up there.

[DeathDoom]

Do you know a good shop? Google receives almonds, cashews, and pecans via an oral cavity.

[Son of Arathorn]

Keep it alive folks! Where 2 meet, when, cmon!

[pinche_guey]

See my last post. If you get a game together in SF or Abq, let me know.

[Glen_Quagmire69]

Still trying to find some people in the Gallup/Grants area...let me know via PM please.

[Son of Arathorn]

Is anybody gonna try for an NHSD tournament in he land of enchantment?

[DeathDoom]

I'd like to, but I might not be able to get out of work. Although I could claim it for religious purposes...

[pinche_guey]

How many people would be interested in a tournament? I have enough terrain to build 4 maps and could help out.

[DeathDoom]

So I've been trying to get a hold of the Arena to see if they are open on Sunday nights for open gaming to see if we could do a not-quite NHSD get-together, but all of the phone numbers I've found have failed me. Does anybody else have information?

[Glen_Quagmire69]

Ok, I have posted some stuff around here in Gallup with my phone number on it at Various locations around town and we are getting a more sizeable group together, also the Public Library here is hosting a family game night thing and I will most likely host there for now, if you need more information regarding this feel free to contact me Via PM.

[DeathDoom]

Kaboom Test Labs, a little comic book shop by Cottonwood Mall, is about to become my source of nerdishness. They are hiring some of the people from The Inquisitive and expanding their gaming, and I think that they have Magic, Heroclix, and Yu-Gi-Oh tourneys. And the owner is really interested in Heroscape. Is anybody doing something this Tuesday? I'll be there with a few friends showing off, if anybody wants to help out.

[DeathDoom]

I will have a few maps at Kaboom tomorrow (Thursday) if anybody's interested.

[DeathDoom]

Triple Posting! Yay!
I have Heroscape at Kaboom today. If anybody wants to come in for a match, please do!

[Glen_Quagmire69]

Sadly my Heroscape group is rather small still I have not gotten ANY replies. LOL This is almost worse than living in Las Vegas New Mexico and trying to gather players for a game LOL Anyway I host games out of my home I do meet people who don't know me in public first so then know I am not some weirdo or anyhting. If there ever needed to be any more of a reason to join mygroup it is this....We have a mini fridge stocked to the brim with ice cold drinks and an entire cabnet with loads of snacks in our game room. So even if you are from out of town all are welcome!
