Ideas/recommendations for format, and maps welcome, or any other comments about the event.

If you cant make this NHSD event, dont worry. Spidysox is holding an NHSD event the week after NHSD....that would be the 23rd. Here is a link to his thread. Eastern PA Scapers NHSD Event (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=31774). Hope that helps.

NOTE: We need 16 people to get prize support from WotC.

[tom]

I really wish I could make this, but my daughter's 5th birthday party is on the 16th. Hope you guys have a good time!

[Johngee]

I really wish I could make this, but my daughter's 5th birthday party is on the 16th. Hope you guys have a good time!
So which Master Set are you getting her? I noticed Amazon is selling RotV's (probably v2) for $159.99 - OUCH!

Wow, that is an outrageous price! I guess she will have to settle for the new D&D set.

[aquamaniac27]

I (sadly) dont think i can make it... If anything changes, I will let you know.

[NightSwipe]

Please put Sensei of Samurai and myself down as a maybe. There are a few other tournaments during this time that I was thinking about attending, but my parents are probably going to frown on too many.

Since there are shorter rounds, I would suggest doing a smaller army point value. My brother just said "450 pts, squads only", but personally, I don't like that. Maybe a variant of the format Clan did a while ago? He did 450 pt. armies, 3 players per map.

Then again, Dragon Wars are always fun.

General Wars?

Okay, I'm done.

[DragonSlayer2]

Ok, I just confirmed the location for the event. It is going to be held at

Game Time Hobbies
1181 East Landis Ave.
Vineland, NJ 08360

He opens his store at noon, so we will start map building at noon, and hopefully start playing by 12:45/1:00.

Also, when I buy some prizes from the hobby shop, what would be the prefered wave?? Right now it looks like we will be buy at least two waves. So what two would you like to see??

Thats all for now.

[aquamaniac27]

I'm sadly going to have to end up saying no to this tourny... :(

I was asked to *maybe* do a demo that day (for HS) at my FLGS. Possibly. But its easier to say no now, then have to wait.

[DragonSlayer2]

Sorry to hear that you cant make it. Good luck with your demo.....let me know how it turns out.

DragonSlayer2

[Johngee]

Also, when I buy some prizes from the hobby shop, what would be the prefered wave?? Right now it looks like we will be buy at least two waves. So what two would you like to see??
That sounds like a strange request - in the past we each brought a ten dollar item for the prize table ...OR... the prizes were Gift Certificates from the store that we were playing in to thank them for allowing us to use the space. I did not know that there was still a variety of Waves available. Well if you must know my preference (even though I don't ever expect to win one of these tournaments, haha) I could always use more ZOMBIES or Shades and Heavy Orks.

[DragonSlayer2]

Yea it is kind of odd, but seeing how he is a distributor he can get almost any wave. So I was going to see which ones you guys wanted and then what he had. Then try to see what we could work out.

Well, I dont know if he does gift cards yet seeing how he opened not to long ago (I think) He requested that we either pay some money to use the space, or buy items for the prizes table from him. If we buy prizes from him he will let us use the space with no extra charge. (and I am not going to argue that)

So it might be a little odd, but thats how we are helping him. He requested that we buy prizes from him.

[DragonSlayer2]

Updated first post.

[mikelizzio]

You should double check with him to see if he has gift cards. Buying those would be just as good for him as buying prizes, and would be more flexible for us.

And I see you already have me down as a maybe. That's fine. I'll do my best to attend, and will have a more definite answer as the date gets closer.

[NightSwipe]

Just noticed you updated the format section on the first post. A few questions:

1. An ally means 2 vs 2, 1000 point army vs 1000 point army?
2. If yes to #1, do you choose your partners?
3. If yes to #1, do both partners need the same general?

[DragonSlayer2]

Instead of having just one general in a 500 point army, you can have two generals. So any two generals to a 500 point army.

So its like normal scape 1v1 both of you playing an army. However the army must be general specific, but you are allowed to draft in a second ally. So its any two generals that equal 500 points. for instance my army of 500 points could be made up of utgar and einar, jandar and ullar, ect. Any two generals.

Does that answer your question??

[NightSwipe]

I get it now. Thank you for the clarification.

That's freakin' sweet! Nice format. :D

[Northgate]

Please add Justine and I to the list of attendees for this event!

[DragonSlayer2]

Cool, welcome to the site.

Have either of you been to any of the tri-state tournaments before?? (Just wondering if I might have met you.)

Glad that you guys can come.

[tom]

Have either of you been to any of the tri-state tournaments before?? (Just wondering if I might have met you.)

:lol: Northgate and Justine have been to two tournaments so far (I think). Justine has won both of them.

[DragonSlayer2]

Oh......the two events I missed. (go figure) Thats why he won you know... there was no one to give him a good challenge :lol:

:fencing:

[tom]

Oh......the two events I missed. (go figure) Thats why he she won you know... there was no one to give him her a good challenge :lol:

:fencing:

Fixed. Man, I really wish I could make this event. It looks like you are going to have a pretty good turn out.

[DragonSlayer2]

her?????...........:shock: :oops: Sorry for the mix up Justine.

Well, you could make it, but I dont think your wife would be very happy. If it makes you feel any better my niece is having her party that morning.....but Iamb leaving early so I can run NHSD :D My moms not happy with that, but sometimes you have to make tough choices in life.........and its a good thing this isnt one of them.

[clancampbell]

I'll see what I can do. Xanth's full football schedule is still not out yet. I like the format though.

[Toa Matoro]

Hey Dragon slayer.i just wanted to throw this out there, see i dont have a whole lto of stuff and even double generals makes it complicated for me. and my brother loves playing but has hardly anything, definately not enough to build a somewhat decent army, im just saying this really discourages us

[DragonSlayer2]

Welcome to the threads Toa. I am honored to have your first post on my thread. Does this mean you and your brother are coming?? (Do I know you....this friend of mine loves the toa and might just use it a his Heroscapers name.)

That is a good point that this format could discourage newer players, does anyone have any ideas as to what might be a good idea.

One idea, is you could borrow some guys from one of the people attending the event. (I believe most of us would be more then willing to help)

DragonSlayer2

[Toa Matoro]

hm, really? i can never find any bionicle fans my age... but anyway please, dont think im trying to be rude, but i dont see the benefit of gen. specific. (also a victory feels good when u do it with your own figures lol) but yea dont go by me! its your tournament u did the work

[DragonSlayer2]

hm, really? i can never find any bionicle fans my age...

:roll: Oh please......

[spidysox]

hm, really? i can never find any bionicle fans my age... but anyway please, dont think im trying to be rude, but i dont see the benefit of gen. specific. (also a victory feels good when u do it with your own figures lol) but yea dont go by me! its your tournament u did the work

General specific tournaments are some of the most fun that you can play. You tend to have more thematically fun armies (all vampires, all zombies, all agents, all knights, all samurai etc...) that just are a lot of fun to play that don't always see the light of day in a mixed event. Also, general specific breaks up some of the power combos that are dominant in tournament play. Stuff like Q9, Raelin and Rats. Hope that sheds some light on the reason for general specific.

Also, you would be surprised as to how good an army can be made even from a relatively small collection. People have competed in events with just master set units and fared very well. And as DS2 mentioned earlier, the Scapers community is a very giving one, if you would want to borrow some stuff I am more than sure that there would be people there to help you out (although I completely understand your point that it is more fun to win with your own stuff).

I hope you don't mind that I answered this question on your thread DS2, I was just browsing to see how things are coming for you. It looks like things are going good and you should have a nice turnout.

[DragonSlayer2]

I dont mind at all; help is alwyas welcomed. Glad to see you are also having a good turnout. An interesting fact a good number of people are going to both events. Thanks again for the input.....its always welcome.

DragonSlayer2

[DragonSlayer2]

Updated front with some maps...I could use a hand or two making some. Dont worry Toa I already put you down for a map and will for a second when I find one I think you will be capable of building.

Also, suggestions for more maps welcome/wanted.

[Johngee]

DS2 ~
You can count on me for a map or two, as long as I can download the instructions from the BoV files section. Just let me know which ones. I'm already familiar with Jungle Wall, but I haven't check out (or even heard of) the other one until now.

Toa ~
Welcome to the forums, hope to meet you at this or some other event. I usually get carried away and build five or ten different armies that all fit the format with a last minute decision which one to use [*NOT RECCOMENDED]. You are welcome to borrow one of mine or just certain figures if you prefer. You can post here what you have and ask for suggestions - this group loves having a good debate about the multitude of possible HS combinations.

[Toa Matoro]

Hi Johngee, actually we met at Dragonslayer2's first tournament, im a friend of his (just playing with him being anonymous lol) but thanks for the offer, ive been working on armies and i might have a few ideas. i just bought a few new things too.

[DragonSlayer2]

Johngee~
I believe I have linked each of my maps to their pdf download. So you can just click on them and it will bring you to the instructions along with the requirements for each map. Why dont you give it a look and tell me which ones will worok best for you.

Toa~
We have to get together and do some game/army testing.

[hero9510]

Please put me down as a maybe. If i come it will be the first tournament for me. Two questions:
1: Swiss style?
2: Ok just for noob understanding, we can pre-draft a 500 point army from any two generals but no more than two? I.E. Jandar and Utgar but no one else?

[DragonSlayer2]

Well if you can make it I promise you will have fun.

Swiss-style is a format that alows you to keep playing even if you lose a match or two. How it works is it keeps track of your win/lose (w/l) ratio and how many points you have earned. (points are earned by eliminating opponents figures.) So on our day a 5-0 with 2500points would be a perfect win. However with this layout, you can be 4-1 or sometimes 3-2 as long as no one ranks higher with w/l ratio and points.

2.)yes, any combinations of two generals. (jandar/utagar, jandar/ullar, jandar/ect, ect/ect.)

DragonSlayer2

PS: does anyone know the # possible combinations of generals. I forget the formula for finding that out. (I could always go get my old math books out I guess)

[clancampbell]

There would only be 15 possible combinations.

[Johngee]

There would only be 15 possible combinations.
HA-HA... not with that new General Etc. ( "Etc?" I thought I read recently that his name was going to be Vakrill or Rakvill or something like that? )

@ DS2 ~ LOL ... at your age how could you possibly have an "OLD" math text book? I've got one that's was autographed by Pythagoras himself.

[clancampbell]

There would only be 15 possible combinations.
HA-HA... not with that new General Etc. ( I thought I read that his name was going to be Vakrill? )


D3 won't be out by then, so no Valkrill for this event.

[Johngee]

"Vakrill" ... oh, I think we should call him "Backfill" because that's what WotC is doing to the HS game with their excess inventory.

[Toa Matoro]

amen to that Jongee! i mean its not that i havent liked all the stuff, but ive sure had my fill of fantasy for a while! bring on the robots!

[Northgate]

Rychean has posted a thread about receiving WotC support for any Heroscape events on NHSD. The event has to have a minimum of 16 attendees to qualify. It would be great if we could get this support, so if you are a possible attendee and now know you can come it may benefit us to confirm your attendance.

[DragonSlayer2]

Northgate is correct, we need 16 people to qualify. As for the other sites that have supported my event in the past usually ask for at least 10 people. So the sooner we have confirmations, the sooner I can start writing people for prize support.

Thanks for the update Northgate.

~DragonSlayer2

[Toa Matoro]

you hear that everyone! come on out cause iwant prizes! lol jk. but really Dragonslayers tournaments have been awesome the past two years! id really recomend coming!

[Rÿchean]

Please make sure this event is posted in the WotC prize support thread:

http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=32440

Event organizer also needs to PM me mailing information.

Thank you

[DragonSlayer2]

Thanks Rychean. Info is headed your way. Also, thanks for putting this together.

DragonSlayer2

[Toa Matoro]

hey dragonslayer! you can add my cousin to the list, i finally got him into heroscape!

[DragonSlayer2]

Cool........did you get him to buy his own stuff yet?? Also, if you need extra figs for another army just let me know. You know what I have.

[Toa Matoro]

yea he bought some stuff, and i think he'll be fine.

[Johngee]

CHECK the "Philadelphia, PA POST Tournament Thread 9/18" for an important UPDATE!

*** I spoted a ROTV Master Set for sale on eBay at a reasonable BUY-IT-NOW price, but did not want to get repremanded for double or triple posting (some consider that SPAM'ing). But it's not there anymore, so someone obviously bought it already.

[DragonSlayer2]

Updated front page with some new prizes. Millermixture is donating some of his custom work to the event.

DragonSlayer2

[DragonSlayer2]

If you havent confirmed yet, please see if you can give me an answer.

DragonSlayer2

[DragonSlayer2]

Thank you all who have gotten back to me, and I am waiting then on the rest of you.

[DragonSlayer2]

I just got an update for prize support. It would appear that we are going to be getting 3 master sets from WotC along with one Wave. I dont know what the wave is, but its not D3. Thats all I was told.....hope you guys enjoy the info.

Also, along with prizes it appears that my store will be getting 3 cases/wave of whatever he can get his hands on. He said he would see if he could find some rare waves, but if he cant he will probably order a mixture of wave 1, 11, & 12

So total number of prizes is 19 = the custom items from millermixture. Still waiting to hear back from some stores that I also asked to sponsor our event.

Also, if any of you have something you would like to throw into the prize pool please send me an PM, and we can work something out.

[fallow]

Fallow and Dolan will be attending!

I can bring any maps you'd like as well, just tell me what to bring.

[Toa Matoro]

4 waves? as in 16 packs?!

[DragonSlayer2]

Yea, the entree fee is going to be buying 3 waves.

Fallow: Glad you can make it. I still have your umbrella :D As for maps, I dont know which ones yet, but I will put you down for two. We may have some walk-ins want to play. So odd man out can teach them/play with them or against them. I will post here and send you a PM with the maps and links. (when I get them.)

[DragonSlayer2]

Here are some maps, let me know which ones you like best, or can build.

[Toa Matoro]

nice! so do you get to pick which waves? or did u already?

[DragonSlayer2]

No, I dont really get a say in it. Its for the most part what he can get his hands on from his distributor.

[fallow]

I'd like to bring:

the Dam Ruins
Ember Canyon Road
Failed Negotiations (hope I get to play on this one)

[DragonSlayer2]

Awsome!! I wasnt expecting to see the dam ruins but thats cool. That thing is just big, and looks like fun.

I will see what I can do to get you to play on that field.

Do you think you are going to build them ahead of time, or at the event. Just wondering.

Glad you can make it.

[DragonSlayer2]

Just received notification that House Mouse Games will once again be sponsoring our event. They have given us a $25 gift card.

Thanks House Mouse Games

[Toa Matoro]

hey dragonslayer, i just wanted to mention something, id be careful with the maps, remember theres not a whole lot of tablesset up and not a whole lot of space. just thought id remind you... you prbly didnt need it though :)

[DragonSlayer2]

Yea, I think I am going to have to put some maps in a third room. I was hoping to stay in just two rooms but three will be fine. I figured I could seat 14 people/seven maps in the two rooms. (I forget if that tight or with elbow room...Oh well, I guess it doesnt matter that much :lol: )

[Johngee]

Fallow and Dolan will be attending!

Whooohooo... it will be nice to see you guys again, but now I'm going to have to revise my Army and brush up on my strategies -- since there will be among us neophytes a member of the illustrious international League of EXTRAORDINARY HeroScapeRs ~~~lol~~~

[mikelizzio]

Put me down as attending. Sounds like an awesome event!

[DragonSlayer2]

Awsome, you've been added to the list.

[Toa Matoro]

you can add my other cousin to the list too!

[fallow]

Add Becca to the roster!

[Toa Matoro]

um quick question, i was building the failed negotiations map, and the large tree dosent seem to fit... not sure what to do

[DragonSlayer2]

um quick question, i was building the failed negotiations map, and the large tree dosent seem to fit... not sure what to do

:shrug: Why are you asking me??? I dont know what to tell you.........throw some extra tiles under it something.

@Fallow, she is added to the list.

[DragonSlayer2]

Also, one questions with prizes......what would you guys think of opening some packs and allowing people to pick squads they want instead of maybe what they want with something they dont want?? I saw another tournament do something like this. I am thinking about the newer D1/D2 waves.

[Toa Matoro]

well i wanted to let you know b4 we got to the tournament and found " hey this dosent work!" anyway... hm that might be nice to open some, bu would you be getting like one elemental at atime? (thatd kinda stink lol)

[DragonSlayer2]

Well, I thought of that, and for elementals/wyrmlings I was thinking keeping them together. Or figs with synergy. Just some ideas.

[fallow]

DragonSlayer2-My thought would be to keep it fair and simple the players should choose unopened packs. We can always trade after.

Hey Johngee!
Maybe we should get LoEHS T-shirts or pins to wear to these events!

[BobGrant]

I'm in, sorry for the late notice. Goofy media teachers at work been keeping me crazy busy. :-P

[DragonSlayer2]

@fallow: I like that Idea. I think thats what we will do.

@BobGrant: Cool, Ill add you to the list.

If we get any more people we will need more maps :D

[fallow]

If we get any more people we will need more maps :D


I'll bring my tub-o-tiles just in case 8)

[Johngee]

Also, one questions with prizes......what would you guys think of opening some packs and allowing people to pick squads they want instead of maybe what they want with something they dont want?? I saw another tournament do something like this. I am thinking about the newer D1/D2 waves.
In theory - I like the idea, but can also see Tao point about individual (Unique and Uncommon Hero ) characters, so I have to agree with Fallow (see below), that for a tournament (especially on NHSD) we shoul keep the prize packages unopened.

However, at some future event - more like a casual game day than a bonafide tourney - maybe we sould reconsider this concept and take it one step further: i.e. as prizes we could all bring two or three "units" (figures with their cards of course) in zip lock bags, instead of sealed blister packs, which are so hard to find these days. That way we can get rid of some of the older extras that we don't want in exchange for maybe something different that we 've been trying to find. And afterward we can still freely trade with one another for what we really wanted. ~~~lol~~~
um quick question, i was building the failed negotiations map, and the large tree dosent seem to fit... not sure what to do
Toa ~ don't get crazy over the BOV instructions, no one is going to check your accuracy and grade you for attention to detail. I've found a lot of minor "errors" in the Dowloads (especially if you don't have a color printer). The designers try to accurately depict what CAN be built with ONLY what's in the sets they reference using. BUT the primary necessity of a BOV for tournament use is that it be somewhat SYMETRICAL so that players don't feel that playing one side or the other gives an advantage to that person (i.e. access to the high-ground or road network). So feel free to "tweak" it just a little, if you need to "fit" something in. But first back track what you've already done, because it's easy to miss-align a hex early on and that throws your whole creation off balance.
If we get any more people we will need more maps :D
I just built "Thorgrim's Crossing" last night and have the "Swamp Wall" pieces in a separate box along with the tiles for "Quasatch Playground" or "Feylund Fountain" (because I was too lazy to separate them after the last tournament in Pitman)... soooo I will be bringing at least three official BoV Maps.
DragonSlayer2-My thought would be to keep it fair and simple the players should choose unopened packs. We can always trade after.
Hey Johngee! Maybe we should get LoEHS T-shirts or pins to wear to these events!
That's a GRRREAT IDEA my friend, but will we have to get approval from Jesper and the rest of the gentlemen in the lounge? Also will we have to maintain the "Defeated by Xanth" caveat in fine print below the logo?

[DragonSlayer2]

Just found out what waves we will be having for prizes. Wave 1, 8, & 11 from my hobby shop (who is over priced) wave 12 from WotC.

Also, if anyone has anything that they would like to put on the prize table please do so. It will be greatly appreciated by someone I am sure. (I would like to see something from wave 2-4 :) )

[Toa Matoro]

OH i called the waves! well thats a good variety, some good stuff come in those, some good suggestions dragonslayer (i too would love some 2-4 lol) it was never in stores once i began playing

[Johngee]

Also, if anyone has anything that they would like to put on the prize table please do so. It will be greatly appreciated by someone I am sure. (I would like to see something from wave 2-4 :) )
LOL - keep dreaming... good luck trying to find any of those that are still unopened, even on eBay at out rageous prices; although individual units do show up occassionally, if you're willing to go through the bidding process. And oh bye the way... NO, you can not put your little sister on the prize table and hope that someone esle will take her home with them ... just kidding; - D

[mikelizzio]

Having a blast coming up with an army for this tournament. But as usual, I'm still undecided. I may have found a build I like that uses ONLY heroes, as crazy as that sounds in the world of SquadScape. A little more playtesting tonight and I'll be good to go.

Can't wait for tomorrow!

[Dad_Scaper]

Have fun, all. I'll be looking for the post tourney thread, as usual.

As you're packing up your stuff tomorrow afternoon remember we have even *more* NHSD prize goodies at our event coming up on November 7 in Maryland, just below Baltimore right off I 95. The link is in the sig...

Have fun, all.

[DragonSlayer2]

Milkelizzio: I am actually doing the same thing.....well I have one squad. I dont know how good it will do, but it will be fun to play.

DaddyScapper: Thanks...Ill try to have fun as I claim the Tom Lynch rule (now I have to go find some wood) I dont think I will be able to make that event. I have other things going on.

On a side note, how should we give out prizes.....I think we have about 31 items total. (11/12 of those items are custom tiles, dice tray, and fig) Should I work it out so everyone gets something or just the top ___ players get it??

Also, just packed up all my stuff. Have to buy drinks and snacks tonight.....and starting zone markers/stickers. (I am going to guess Johngee already has name tags :D )

Then off to visit my nieces B-day party before I slip away and run an amazing NHSD event.

DragonSlayer2
~making sure I dont forget anything........

EDIT: I am running :utgar: :einar: :johnwoo2:

[fallow]

I remember last time you had the first place player pick a prize, then 2nd place player picked, down the list so everyone got something. Then back to the top of the list and repeat.

Everyone got at least 2, some 3 prizes. It was great-lets do it again.

[Northgate]

I agree with Fallow. It would be great if everyone got 1 or 2 items, and the top players came home with 3!

oh definately same as we always have, its encouraging to get atleast one prize, especially if youre in 18th
(and thats not because i expect to be in 18th! either :) )

<~snip~>On a side note, how should we give out prizes.....I think we have about 31 items total. (11/12 of those items are custom tiles, dice tray, and fig) Should I work it out so everyone gets something or just the top ___ players get it??
Oh I forgot all about the custom tiles that you mentioned early on -- hmm, they looked pretty cool and I 'd love to get a couple. I also have a couple custom tiles (6x I think? - 2x 1-hex, 2x 2-hex, 2x 3-hex) that I was going to offer up as one of the prizes, but why not split them up so several peeps can each get one. How many players total are you expecting vs. how many prizes are on hand? And does offering a prize substitute for paying the entry fee?
Also, just packed up all my stuff. Have to buy drinks and snacks tonight.....and starting zone markers/stickers. (I am going to guess Johngee already has name tags :D )
LOL...Yup... I've got the NAME TAGS, if I can remember to bring them, hehehe.

What is this "PLAY TESTING" that everyone is talking about? I just grab my calculator and start throwing units in a bag until it adds up to the magic number...haha! But I'm currently torn between going with:
1. Cyprien, Sonya, RotV-Raelin, 2x Utgar's Minions squads; or
2. Major-Q9, Major-Q10, Heirloom, and 2x Deathreaver squads; or
3. 2x Iron Golem and 3x MircoCorp Agent squads; or
4. 3x Hydras, and 2x Mohican River Tribe squads; or
5. 4x Wyverns, 2x Fyorlag Spider squads, and Marcu Essenwhine.
Any comments or suggestions? That "with one ally" thing was only a suggestion, not a requirement...right?

If anyone sees this before they head out, could somebody possibly bring one squad of Stingers for me to borrow? I'm bringing an alternate army too, just in case.

DS2 ~
Thanks for hosting a fantastic event. I had a GRRRREAT TIME! I think I even placed in the top half instead of the bottom half this time...haha. It's all for fun and fun for all. I hope to post something in the Post -Tourny thread later this evening. How about you posting the standings and final scores for us? Thanks again.
