NHSD Long Island Heroscape league - Oct 16th
The Long Island Heroscape League is just about to start our 5th season and we thought of no better way to kick it off than have our opening game day on National Heroscape Day. This is our first year participating in this national event and we're very excited about it!
When:
October 16th, 2010
Where:
Ravenblood Games
1163 Old Country Road
Plainview, NY
516-935-7400
Ravenblood Games is in the Plainview Commons Shopping Center. (I'm including the directions from their web site below.)
Time:
We plan on arriving at the store around 12:30 with gaming starting at 1:00.
Tournament Style:
We are really shooting for a fun afternoon of gaming with "fun" having priority over "winning" here.
Therefore we are going to skip the whole tournament scoring thing. The idea here is to meet new people and simply play some Heroscape rather than get involved with score keeping, rankings, etc.
With that said we will, however, keep a simple bracket with single game eliminations to declare an ultimate winner for the day. The last person standing will be declared "The Long Island National Heroscape Day Ultimate Winner!" Hazzah!
Games will approximately an hour in length with winners being determined by points. We may modify the time if we are running slightly behind blah, blah, blah. Does any of this really matter that much? Did I mention that FUN was the priority here? We'll call them as we see them. Don't argue with us. Go run your own National Heroscape Game Day. Then you can make all the rules you want.....
Prizes:
You want prizes? Go to some other fancy tournament then, like the ones they run in Texas or Massachusetts. This is just Long Island. Sheezh.
Cost:
Well, OK, if you want to pay me I'll except large bills. It doesn't cost anything to come to our Game Day but if you feel compelled to pay somebody something then talk to me. I'm the big green guy.
Army Details:
510 point armies for the day. Play whatever official figures you'd like, including Marvel. As far as we are concerned you can even play different armies for each game, as long as they are 510 points or under. It's not the army you use so much as the player's skill here. Besides, it's no fun playing the same old army all day now is it?
If Hasbro/WotC made it for Heroscape then you can play it. But if you cut it, glued it, painted it, stapled it or mangled it in anyway, you can't use it. And you especially can't use it if you made your own little card for it, no matter how cool you may think it is.
Maps:
We are suppling the maps. Don't know at the moment what maps they'll be. We'll pick a bunch the day before and stay up all night building them. If you've ever run one of these things then you know exactly how it is.....
Glyphs:
I'm sure we'll have some.
Anyone actually coming to this?:
Attending so far:
1. Grishnakh
2. Son of Grishnak
3. Krysto2002
4. Mogrebla5
5. Sir Dendrick
Post here and let us know asap if anyone else would like to attend so I can reserve the table space and figure out the number of maps we'll need.
And if you have any questions let me know. Also, if your interested in the Long island Heroscape League PM me. We meet once a month to game 'Scape.
Did I mention I except large bills? :)
