Obsolete thread-archive only-Seattle Emerald City Game day

[bunjee]

******************Future Seattle gamedays are being handled by JanderSunstar in the thread found HERE. (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=21213)**************

Welcome to the Seattle area game day thread. We get together on the 3rd Saturday of every month at the Lake Forest Park Town Center commons. The full address and a link to the directions are below.

The next game day is August 16th (the same weekend as Gencon) and discussion of that game day starts here. (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?p=628147#post628147)

Our regular attendees include:
Bunjee (well, not anymore :( )
Elstree (well, not anymore :( )
JanderSunstar
Sexecution
David W.
Darkclown789
Jayko
Carter
Oni
CornPuff
Christy
FuzzieFuzz
Gia_Boy

Less consistent, but still having attended in the past:
Imdamoose
Adrian
Onslaught42
PhilthePhreak
Harvey
Aquaone

The windowed conference room space is inside a shopping center just off the food court area, so there are plenty of places to get food, including a grocery store next door to the shopping center (looks attached)

We usually setup about 4-5 two player maps on the smaller tables, and occasionally do a large 4+ player map on the large round table. The largest number we've had there is 20, so we have enough space for plenty. We tend to get interested passers-by asking about the game, so be ready for people stopping in to gawk!


Location: Third Place Commons meeting room
Lake Forest Park Towne Centre
17171 Bothell Way NE, Lake Forest Park, WA 98155

FuzzyI emailed them about it, would be nice for hosting game days, might be able to make it part of the "NW Scapers" collection.


We really need a name.

[JanderSunstar]

I am telling you, WASH should be our name!!!!

Anyway, Ellian and I are willing to share our figs with others who want to try new figures too.

[brotharon]

W.A.S.H.

Washington Association of Super Heroscapers?

Oh, and I cannot make it on the 18th :( I will be in eastern washington all weekend...maybe next time...

[darkclown789]

We will not be able to make it that day, (sob, sob), but have a great time!

Long live W.A.S.H.!!!

[CornPuff]

Crap, I gotta catch a plane that day back to Indianapolis. So, I'm not gonna make it. :-(

[bunjee]

Crap, I gotta catch a plane that day back to Indianapolis. So, I'm not gonna make it. :-(Have fun in Indy! You could probably catch a game with Hahnarama depending on schedules.

[kenjib]

I'm in. I'll send an email to Terry and another new friend who I have recently got hooked on the game. I'm pretty sure Terry can come.

[bunjee]

I'm in. I'll send an email to Terry and another new friend who I have recently got hooked on the game. I'm pretty sure Terry can come.yep, I was gonna send and email to everyone that came last time, I haven't done it yet! Bad bad bunjee. :?

[Hex Sinister]

So how are things going to work this time around? I'm new to this so I was wondering if its going to be just random maps/games or what? Has anybody tried a big map multiplayer style battle? That would be interesting.

Sorry I can't commit yet... I might have to do a payback favor for a friend that weekend. This is what happens when you use permanent marker on your bro's vinyl D&D map :roll:

[bunjee]

Please note the new registration event calendar, here is a link to the day, the event is called 3rd place heroscapers.

This is what happens when you use permanent marker on your bro's vinyl D&D map :roll:I figure that we'll have sets there and people can do what ever they want. Build their own thing, or print maps to build and bring. I'll have copies of all the rule books with me as well as some official map prints.

If anyone has some idea of a game they want to play, or map they want to build, speak on up!

ps: first post updated, we have the space until 10pm, register in the new events section of the site!

[JanderSunstar]

That new registration thing is weird. It told me that the event was April 30th 2007....

[bunjee]

That new registration thing is weird. It told me that the event was April 30th 2007....Really?

OH geez, something really wacky is going on.

Try clicking on the 18th in the little calendar on the right hand side, and then register for the first instance. I'll let the event module developers know something is wonky.

[kenjib]

FYI - While I'm still not entirely sure who is coming, I might be bringing two guests and Terry might have one additional guest too, bringing it to five people between the two of us, but most of them are all still "maybes" at this point.

[bunjee]

Bunjee
JandarSunstar
Sexecution
FuzzySadist
Kenjib

So if you are bringing others, it'll be a nice large group of people. We have some other maybes, I'm even hoping people will just show up from the general public since the event is on the calendar for Third Place Commons.

This'll be fun!

[JanderSunstar]

On our end, we've got the 2 of us, and Harv. I talked to Julian and he thought they had to work, but werent sure, and i was going to call them again sometime this week. I dont know about David yet, havent had an opportunity to ask him.

[fuzzysadist]

I'll be there with both of my sons.

Hey, btw, if anyone has any extra "MS figures" they'd be interested in selling, let me know. I'm hoping to make a few of those "Unique to common squad" conversions they've talked about in the Customs thread.

[bunjee]

Ok, so we are up to...
Bunjee
JandarSunstar
Sexecution
Harvey
Maybe 2 others
FuzzySadist
FuzzySadist's sons (2)
Kenjib
Terry (what is his forum name... Drago, right!)
friends of kenji and Terry (up to 3)


So a solid 7 people, possibly 14. cool.

I realized I hadn't posted this in the WA/OR thread, time to do that.

[Hex Sinister]

Well, how did it go? Wish I could have made it... Were there lots of Flagbearers? Requesting battle report, please :D

[bunjee]

Well, how did it go? Wish I could have made it... Were there lots of Flagbearers? Requesting battle report, please :DOthers can give better battle reports, there was a 6 person battle going on with Kenji's graveyard map and scenario, it looked pretty fun. I was building a castle with two castle sets, I haven't had any time or space to do maps at home recently so I blew through a bunch of time doing that, talking to a kid that was asking about the game, and distributing flagbearers that I had purchased at the Bellevue TRU so that people from our group could be sure to get them. Everyone is pretty well setup now. I still have 4 each of Jandar and Utgar flagbearers.

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

I love the graveyard layout and would love to read how the battle went down.

[kenjib]

Terry thinks that he might have left a jacket/sweatshirt at 3rd Place Books. It was a gray and white fleece zip up. Did anyone see it there after we left?

The graveyard scenario was a bunch of fun. We had three teams of two. Two of the teams were approaching from either side of the graveyard with the goal of capturing the holy relic buried under the statue in the middle of the graveyard and carrying it off the board on their side. The third team played an army of the unholy dead trying to keep both armies from doing just that. Each person had 300 points (so 600 points per team). The unholy dead would suffer 1 wound each time they touched the artifact, so they stayed away from it.

At the end of every round, the graveyard team could check to respawn each figure that had died at a roll of 13 or better (15 for heroes), placing them adjacent to any tombstone (rise from the grave!!!). The other teams had to use an attack with a figure to unearth the relic on a roll of 13 or better, but once unearthed the relic could be moved around the board by any character.

Here were the teams:

Jeff (came with Terry and I), fuzzysadist's son
Kozuke Samurai
orc gruts x 3
Grimnak
roman archers
krav maga agents
roman legionaires

Tim (came with Terry and I), fuzzysadist's son
Ninjas of the North Wind
Tagawa (or Kozuke, can't remember) Samurai
Knights of Weston
Roman Archers x 2
Crixus
Syvarris

kenjib, fuzzysadist defending the graveyard
Anubian Wolves x 3
Khosumet
Marro Warriors x 3
Sudema

It was pretty close at one point when a ninja of the north wind unearthed the relic and almost escaped. A couple more disappears and team 2 would have won. In the end, fuzzysadist and I won primarily due to fuzzysadist rolling +8 on the wolf attack 4 times and thereby taking down a very large number of opposing units.

[bunjee]

Terry thinks that he might have left a jacket/sweatshirt at 3rd Place Books. It was a gray and white fleece zip up. Did anyone see it there after we left?We pretty much emptied the place out, but if it was on that bookcase that is there, we would have assumed it was there when we arrived.

He could check http://www.thirdplacecommons.org/ for contact about lost and found or just call up Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park and ask them.

[bunjee]

Ok, new event day information updated in first post!

[darkclown789]

(Sigh) sadly, We will not be able to attend... family get together that day... have already had to cancel OTHER things as well that day. CURSE YOU DECEMBER 16th!!!

Darkclown

[JanderSunstar]

I will be a bit late, as we discussed earlier, but I know Ellian wants to play. I will see about the usual recruits, and another friend who knows how to play, but will be wrapping that day as well.

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

I'm a probably not but mabie.

[bunjee]

:bump:
Also, I have some castles that I overpurchased from housemouse available for $24.95 each and some Jandar and Utgar flagbearers for $12.99 each that I figured a few may still need. Let me know in advance and I'll bring them.

Also, I've very excited because Elstree (my boyfriend, that's his forum name) will be back on the 20th, possibly even a day or two early. Not soon enough for the December game day, but pretty darn soon!

[kenjib]

My wife is returning from a Portland driving trip that morning, so I'm not 100% sure on the timing but I should be able to show up. Terry can't make it this time but I might be able to get anywhere from 0 to 4 other people to come. I probably won't know for sure about them until the day comes though...

[Faustus]

I would like to playtest some of my customs on the 16th. Many have already been tested once, but I'd like to try them out as much as possible. Are people willing to play friendly games against my custom guys?

[kenjib]

Sure! Sounds fun.

[kenjib]

Hi Bunjee. Check your inbox - potentially urgent issue with the event, or maybe it's just nothing.

-Kenji

[brotharon]

Assuming Kenji is not raining on the gameday parade...I will be planning to be there on the 16th...I can bring my 4 master sets...VW...3RttFF...3Castles...Tundra...and whatever else I have lying about...

[kenjib]

Battlelore came in the mail today. I will bring it. It is good.

[bunjee]

Assuming Kenji is not raining on the gameday parade...I will be planning to be there on the 16th...I can bring my 4 master sets...VW...3RttFF...3Castles...Tundra...and whatever else I have lying about...Kenji's pm was regarding the fact that the room we usually use is in use that day. I don't think it was clear in my event description, I felt that we could still play in the outer area, I'm willing to and people do that all the time, we'll just have more looky loo's. We'll probably want to minimize the total amount we bring with this in mind. Maybe only 4 master sets total plus some expansions, so if you want to bring all your stuff, that would be great by me. Are you making it for the whole day? I may have to leave early.

Battlelore, you say, gee, Hahn doesn't have his Battlelore yet. :stir:

Oh, and Kenji, you need to fix your avatar link!

[Hahnarama]

Battlelore, you say, gee, Hahn doesn't have his Battlelore yet. :stir:


Laugh it up! :twisted: I have it and I don't have it, Oh the Pain!

[brotharon]

I can make it for the whole day...I will bring my stuff so that if you have to take off early we do not have to break down the boards...Should be fun!

[fuzzysadist]

Well I guess I DO need to do more tests on my Clone Troopers and Super Battle Droids. And that last game my 11yo son REALLY didnt use Judge Dredd to his full effectiveness.

"I AM THE LAW!!!!"

FuzzySadist

[Zulkir]

I have decided to go and I'm bringing my son (7). I'm looking forward to meeting some of you and seeing what kinds of cool stuff people have come up with!

Zulkir

[fuzzysadist]

Does 3rd place commons have any power???

LOL

Fuzzy

[JanderSunstar]

thats a good question! I heard Lake forest park was totally in the dark, and not so much with the clear roadways....

Ellian is planning on going for the full day, like I said, i will be late, but we wanted to know what time we all were thinking about starting up, or should we move to a different location?

[bunjee]

I called and verified that they have power. Viva la Heroscape!

[JanderSunstar]

Yea power!
Viva la Heroscape!!

[kenjib]

My internet just came back online. I'm glad to hear that the place has power. If anyone happens to catch this before they go, I won't be there until around 5pm.

[bunjee]

Attention attention

Well, by the time anyone sees this, it is too late, but...

Word is that coming from the North roads are obstructed and traffic is snarled, some people came from the south and it was fine but there was no terrain so no play time.

I'm not heading up since it sounds like there won't be anyone to play. Sorry for anyone else that gets stuck not playing tonight!

[brotharon]

I was gonna post up yesterday, but I waited until today...I went up there at 1:30 and waited around until 2:30...there was no room for any type of HS gaming, so fortunately no one else showed up...I am going to have to figure out a way to get you the money for the Flagbearer and the wave 6 since I was gonna get it to you yesterday...

[bunjee]

I was trapped by unavoidable issues that kept me until nearly 5pm.

We'll get the exchange figured out.

[Zulkir]

I showed up around 3:00 pm with my son Zander - no one there but some D&Ders.

Zulkir

[bunjee]

I showed up around 3:00 pm with my son Zander - no one there but some D&Ders.

ZulkirYou may not have recognized them but 2 people were there. They didn't have terrain, just figs.

Clarification, they weren't in the meeting room, they were in the outer commons area. Makes sense that there weren't tables available this close to Christmas.

Yeah I would not have recognized them and I was looking for someone with boxes or bins. Well - next year! I and my zon will try to make the next one - maybe even with our own custon figs.

[bunjee]

Ok, I updated the first post with information about January 20th. The primary question, and new poll, is regarding to tourney or not to tourney.

Please chime in!

[JanderSunstar]

I think gameday. Feb will be better for a tournament, that would make May, August, and the last one of the year november... just in time for getting ready for Christmas! yea....

[darkclown789]

We will probably be able to attend. (Hopefully!)

I don't care whether tournament or game day, but I suggest that if we do a tournament we have a standard flat fee for prize support. (5-10$?)

Anyway, Merry Christmas!

DarkclownI like that idea, too. And I like the idea of splitting boosters to put out on the table. I already have some extras that could be split out if people don't want to buy them off me.

We'd want to know what sort of things people would like to see on the prize table.

ZOMBIES! Mooargh

[brotharon]

but zombies say "brrrames"

[JanderSunstar]

They dont say nuthin! Thats movie propaganda teaching our children that zombies eat brains. They dont just eat brains, they eat every part of the human body children. even your little toe, and your apendix.

[brotharon]

Nope, Zombies are Brainsatarians. I have a PHD in advanced Zombie studies, and I can assure you that they only eat brains...and that they say "brames" before they strike... :twisted:

[darkclown789]

But how can you study that which its victims do not live?

I mean, you can know if they eat brains or not, but how do you know what they say?

:twisted:

Darkclown

[brotharon]

Ah, good question. I have a special helmet (child's bicycle type with stickers and a chinstrap) that prevents zombies from eating my brains.

[kenjib]

I registered and should be able to attend. A friend or three will probably be able to come too, but I haven't confirmed with anyone yet.

[Elstree]

Bunjee and I will be there. I'm looking forward to meeting you all.

[JanderSunstar]

so the overall consensus is no tournament, right?

[darkclown789]

so the overall consensus is no tournament, right?

Yes I was wondering that as well... if not should we just bring our entire fig collection?

Darkclown
p.s. There will probably be four of us attending.

[bunjee]

No tourney day, I'm not up for it and I don't think anyone else is at this time. Perhaps the February date.

Elstree and I will be there on Saturday. He can show off his newly washed snow tiles.

[JanderSunstar]

and i can show off Raelin, too bad shes not actually finished though....
i want to see cool snow tiles!!

I talked to Harv, and he should be back in town, whatever that means, and will probably be going. so thats one more.

I am going to ask the question, do you need us to bring anything?

We were going to bring our two set package so people could see Elstree's tiles. Kenji often brings things, so maybe we should just find out what others are planning to bring. If you want to build any sort of mega map or castle, you may want to bring your collection.

Part of me really wants to draw more sucke- uh players into the game, so if we make a big showy setup, it might be nice.

[darkclown789]

Unfortunetly I just got sick and have a very high fever, along with some swelling of the throat. It will be remarkable if we are able to make it.

Sorry all.......

Darkclown
:(

[bunjee]

As much as we'd love to see you PLEASE STAY AWAY!!!!!! :puke:

Get well soon!

[brotharon]

I have got the same crap that Darkclown has...it sucks...anyway, it is all that I can do to be at work today, I doubt that I will be making it out to the game tomorrow...Have fun guys, I will try to make it next month.

[JanderSunstar]

ellian tried to give that to me last week, but i beat it away with my large vitamin c intake.
Yea for orange juice!

I hope you all feel better!

[kenjib]

Okay yeah I'll bring my terrain and stuff. I've got some lions from Robaula to show off. :D

[darkclown789]

Sorry I couldn't let y'all know earlier but it wouldn't let me view this thread...

Anyway, two of my friends are going to be able to make it, they are brothers and were there at the last tournament.

Darkclown
p.s. have fun all!

[CornPuff]

I plan to be there in a couple hours , I'll bring my figs.
Looking forward to a great day of scaping! :D

[JanderSunstar]

That was fun!!
See ya'll next month (or sooner maybe)

[bunjee]

Ok, I have modified the first post to discuss what we want to do for February, tournament or not. Please vote and discuss! I want to tighten up this ship a bit. Yesterday was a blast, but we had a lot of people come from the general community that we weren't expecting.

Must go to work, I'll toss in more later!

[darkclown789]

I havn't typed my answer yet because I don't really care....

Darkclown
p.s. Both would be very fun IMO!

[kenjib]

Yeah I had lots of fun. It was nice to meet the new folks there and to see all of the familiar folks too. I, too, don't have a preference for next meeting. Sorry - I know it doesn't help much. :D

[JanderSunstar]

We too are in the doesnt matter boat.
I think with a tournament however, we will need to post it on the calendar at the bookstore so that we dont have too many stragglers.
If we do decide to do a tournament, it might be a good idea to get a bracket scheduled beforehand if we know enough of the players, so to keep things flowing.
I volunteer to help out with all that if need be.

[Sexecution]

I vote for tournament.
We should go over the rules of the tournament beforehand, probably in this thread.
I will help run it to give other people a chance to play.

[JanderSunstar]

so have we decided it would be a tournament?

[bunjee]

I know I'm not up for being a gamemaster at a tournament that weekend, so if it is to be a tourney, we'd need people to take on the task. I'm starting to think that making March the tourney day would work best. I could get them to change the calendar now so that we wouldn't have un-prepared people showing up.

It may also be better for us to do tournaments at Cardhaus and leave 3rd place as normal game days. I think that if I pull some of the reservations at 3rd place, they would tack the reservations on to the end. Cardhaus has dates open in March, and we'd probably have to be out of there by about 7pm.

What do people think?

[brotharon]

I certainly try not to think as often as possible, however, in this instance I agree that it is certainly a better tournament venue at Cardhaus. March is also, probably, a more logical choice for a tournament date being that it is the end of the first quarter of the year and quarterly tourneys seem to make more sense to me...hmmmm...I cannot think of anything else...I will try to be there this month...my schedule is very crazy with the new job and all...hmmmm...goodbybe...

[Elstree]

I also think that Cardhaus would be a better tournament venue. It's more private and less distracting, important things I imagine when you're trying to keep a tournament on schedule.

Third-place is a good place for regular game days, but I found there to be quite a few distractions that I think would detract from tournament play. Besides playing in a fishbowl, I imagine it would be hard to keep things on schedule:

"Ok the next round starts as soon as Bob gets back with his slice of pizza."
"Well as long as we're waiting on Bob I'm going to go get a coke."
"Wait for me! I need a snack too."

...and so on.

When Bunjee and I stopped by Cardhaus last week the event coordinator was enthusiastic about us playing there again. I really like the idea of having regular game days at Third-place and quarterly tournaments at Cardhaus. If we want to do this next month, we need to let him know now. They make the schedule for each month during the first week of the preceeding month.

[JanderSunstar]

Ellian has volunteered to help run (or possibly run the whole tournament) to let other people play. i have this dizzy problem too, so i would hate to slow down the game play, and dont really like tournaments, so i can help out too. I would like to know if we are planning it though, to make proper preparations.

It was a little hard playing last time at 3rd place, because of the other onlookers who came by, i think that if there is an activity planned there during the day also, its going to make things tough.

[kenjib]

Cardhaus sounds good to me Bunjee. The next 3rd Place Books event is also fine with me however we decide to do it.

[Elstree]

It was a little hard playing last time at 3rd place, because of the other onlookers who came by, i think that if there is an activity planned there during the day also, its going to make things tough.

I've talked with Bunjee about this. What I found especially disruptive were the lil'uns. There were three kids under age ten who monopolized an entire table and map for four hours, keeping other people from playing. Since they weren't my kids I was reluctant to discipline them myself, but their parents weren't there to handle them either.

We shouldn't be a nursery service where parents leave their kids while they go shopping. In the future I would suggest that we make it clear that any child under 10 has to have a parent (or at least a high-school aged older sibling) there to play with them. Bunjee has suggested one way to enforce this is to have a sign-in list.

I'm not too worried about the older kids, in the 10+ range. The older kids that showed up were cool. They knew the rules, finished their games, and were good about sharing time on tables and maps.

[JanderSunstar]

We had moments where (not the last game day) there was a kid, and he kept picking up figs off of tables, and playing with them. its nice to show new people how to play, but when the unsupervised kids start picking up pieces and interrupting game flow.
With people just playing and not having worry about a time limit or anything would be a lot better.
let us know if you would like us to set up a tournament for next month or whenever.

[bunjee]

And just to make sure that people don't think we are upset about the kids being there, we aren't. We are hoping to have it be a little bit more fair and balanced. Part of the problem was that there were more people than terrain sets. In the future we'll setup a sign in, asking what people brought, and then letting them know that the play priority will go to people who rsvp'd on this site, or that brought their own terrain.

There are plenty of tables and such, it just seemed like things got a little crazy there. How were we supposed to know that 10 new people from the community of Third Place would show up?!?



As for the Tourney, I'll contact Cardhaus and Third Place and shift our March meeting to be a tournament at Cardhaus on Saturday, March 17th. I'll post when the reservation has been confirmed.

[kenjib]

I should have set up a bunch of smaller maps. Sorry! I had a couple master sets worth of terrain left over too...

I don't think that's a problem. I liked having that one big map. After all, you had four people playing on that big map, and it was your own terrain. Even if you had broken it down into smaller maps, where would they have gone? All the tables were in use.

[JanderSunstar]

the big maps are always neat to look at, i am just not so sure how balanced they are for a tournament game. If we laid out the maps better on those long tables, we could get 2-3 maps on the long tables, use the big roundtable for stuff/eating, and leave all the little ones for maps.

[darkclown789]

So, now that we have that established, it is going to be a NO tourney day, correct?

Let me know...

Looking forward to seeing y'all! Should be fun!!!

[JanderSunstar]

I am guessing no tournament.

Registrations for the Msrch tournament are now being accepted. please PM me with your real name, for registration.

[JanderSunstar]

Also how many people you are bringing if you represent more than one person.

[bunjee]

I am guessing no tournament.

Registrations for the Msrch tournament are now being accepted. please PM me with your real name, for registration.I got a response back from Cardhaus, on March 17th they were already booked for a Magic event for the 15 and under crowd. So there won't be space. The 10th is open if people want to do that instead, probably the 24th also.

Or we can just do the tournament in the Third place commons space. Depends on how many we get.

[darkclown789]

It will be three of us for sure (Me - 15, Jacob - 11, and Carter - 7), that will be there, and possabilities include: Adrian (13 I think), and Sterling (16).

Will post definates later...

Darkclown

[bunjee]

oooo, so who is going to bring terrain? I'll bring 3-4 master sets with roads, snow, and lava. Plus 2 castles. And all my figs, plus some extra master set figs. That way we can have a table setup for new comers. I may get there a little early, I don't have much else to do that morning that I don't want to avoid (yard work)

[jayko]

Hello, this is Darkclown789's little brother, Sterling will be there tomorrow for the whole event however we will have to leave between 6 and 6:30.

See you there!

Jayko

[jayko]

We can bring 2 MS sets and one ice, lava, and RTTFF, if need be. We would prefer not to however, as we have to leave at six.

anyone want us to bring the box of castles? Speak now or forever hold your peace.

[darkclown789]

Ah... even though we kinda had to bail, we had fun tonight! I had an awesome 1V1 with Sexecution and did awesome with my roborats!!!

We also had a nice second game, I was on fire that game.

See y'all soon!

Did you make it out to Fantasy games yet about the space?
If we need to do a tournament, we have to get an idea of how many prizes we are doing.
It is possible to do a tournament at 3rd place, especially with the showing we had last time.

Was it just me or did the thread get all wonky?

I haven't made it out to Fantasy Games yet, work has been sucking my time.
We could do a tourney at 3rd place, if there is to be a tourney there, I'm cool with that, but I'm probably not up to running it as I will have an out of town guest on the 17th, I'll be out of town on the 10th and 11th.

If anyone wants to coordinate the tourney, have at! I'll happily update the first post of this thread with the information and link to the post where discussion starts.

Ellian has graciously volunteered to run a tournmanet.
I think that if we have a pre registration it should be fine for the space at 3rd place book. Ellian is currently unemployed this week, so i will make him make good use of his time by getting together maps and junk.


So let the registration begin!!!!

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

I'm confused. In the events calendar, it says that there's a tournament the third Saturday of every month. Is this the case? If so, I might be able to make this one, and if not this one, then the next one, or the one after that, or the one after that...

[JanderSunstar]

Yeah... I think the calendar is busted...
It should read gameday every 3rd Saturday, with a tournament quarterly. We are a little behind due to busy schedules.
But have no fear!!!
Saturday, April 21st, there is a tournament!!!!!! Check out the post for more details, and to post your interest.

[bunjee]

Ok, I want to bring things back into this master thread.

Elstree and I will be going to Third Place on May 16th. At this point it seems like June 21st would be the best plan for a tourney as we can discuss the tournament plans at this game day.

Edit: Wait a second... June 21st? Isn't that a Thursday? We (possibly 6 of us) will be able to make it if it the 16th.... the third Saturday...

There will be 3 of us there this Saturday though.

DarkclownGeez, I'm just a winner lately.

May is on Saturday the 19th
June is on Saturday the 16th
July is on Saturday the 21st

I'm targetting the tourney on the 16th of June. My apologies, I will edit my prior post.

[darkclown789]

3 of us will be there this Saturday, but we can't make it the 16th :(

Darkclown

[darkclown789]

Doh! Something last minute just came up! We cannot join you all tomorrow *sob, sob*

Very sorry, have a great gameday and give us updates!

Darkclown

[bunjee]

So I'd like to review with people when another good day for a tournament would be. I really want to have a day where many can join us, we could switch the June date to the 23rd if that would help people, there is nothing on the 3rd place calendar for that day.

I'm really really hoping to organize a tournament and possibly advertise it. With the release of lots of HS product, I want to get people into the game. Sure, it will sell out the stores, but it will help the buyers at the stores get the power to buy more product.

What does June 23rd look like for people for a tournament?

[bunjee]

Ok, I'm posting my follow up.

Well, yesterday was fun, but only Elstree, Kenjib and myself made it so there wasn't much tournament talking.

I'm going to start posting the events on Craigslist, and the Heroscape Yahoo Groups. There are also a few other Seattle gaming groups I'm going to contact. If anyone has ideas of places to promote our game days, lets hear about it! If we get enough people we could possible up the number of days and make it easier for people to come if they miss one or two (like I did :( )

Here is what I put up on Craigslist yesterday, but I plan to make a much spiffier promotion posting in the future.

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

I emailed a friend, I might come in June or July, he might be able to come, too, but I haven't heard from him yet. It's an independent event, right? You can just come to one?

Don't care if it's the 16th or the 23rd.

[bunjee]

Ok, I have made an update to the first post, the Tournament is June 30th at Fantastic games, there will also be a normal game day on June 16th at Third Place Commons.

Fuzzie Fuzz - The Tournament is an open event, but people will need to register for the tournament so we can have enough maps setup and prizes available. The June 16th date is a normal open gaming day if you just want to do casual play.

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

D'oh! I can't come on the 30th! Why can't it be the 16th... Oh, well, coming on the 16 for the normal game day would be fun too...

I'll see about July, then.

OK, I'm almost definitely going on the 16th. I'd like to know what exactly is a "normal game day?" What should I bring? My army? My entire collection? Terrain? Nothing? I'm assuming it'll be where you go, pair (or group) up, then play a game. When that's done, you go find someone else to play.

What of this is right?

[kenjib]

I can't make the 16th - my wife Krista has a photo session to do (she's a photographer). I plan to be there on the 30th though.

[bunjee]

For tournament attendees on the 30th we've heard from:
Kenjib - Yes
Darkclown plus - Yes (how many of you, are you for sure?)
Elstree - Yes
Bunjee - Yes
JandarSunstar - Yes
Sexecution - Yes
J & S friend - Yes
Fuzzie Fuzz - No, sadly

This event is going to be opened to the general public and I'll be posting some additional links for people. Pre-registration will be essential so we can get initial matchups and total number of maps ready.

[darkclown789]

We are a definate maybe on the 16th, and a good chance (95%+) that 3-5 of us will be there on the 30th.

I'll update as soon as I know anything further.

We will not be able to make it this Saturday, at least not to play (we might stop by for fun and to say hi). We have a Star Wars CCG tournament that day (At Cardhaus, it is their last tournament before they close down and just become a shipping building).

But there will be 3 of us there at the tournament... please let us know point value's ASAP!

Thanks,

:P

[kenjib]

Okay - I do indeed have a scheduling conflict and can't come tomorrow. Sorry to keep waffling back and forth. I'm still on for the tournament though. Terry is planning to come as well.

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

OK, I can come tomorrow, but will leave early. Just to confirm, I should bring all my figures and cards, and nothing else, right? Or should I just bring the figures and cards for one army?

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

Woohoo! That was fun! I left early (at 7) but still got in 2 battles, one on the new official castle scenario. Don't remember who (can't associate faces with usernames yet), but two guys figured out the rest, then we played it. The inner door starts with 5 wounds, so on my first turn, Jotun comes in and smashes it down one hit. The attackers won easily, it was pretty slanted.

My next game, I've got a half hour left, so we play a 300 point game. I have Arrow Gruts x2, Krug, and the KMA. My opponent (name unsure) had Saylind, Kaemon Awa, and the KMA. My arrow gruts and Krug went down fairly fast, but not before taking Kaemon Awa and a KMA with them, as well as putting two wounds on Saylind. My KMA come up and kill Saylind, then kill the other two KMA.

In both games, I loved Krug and Arrow Gruts x2. I didn't have any of those (I borrowed them from other people) so bunjee (the one name I do remember who it's person is) sold me a Wave 2 Heroes pack for $5. Thank you bunjee!

[Elstree]

Thanks for a great game day to all who made it! Hopefully we'll be seeing you again at the tournament in two weeks.

[Elstree]

Hey, Fuzzie, it was great having you show up. That was Jandar Sunstar and her husband playing on your team on the castle map, which he and I put together with some guess work. Kenji showed up too, though I don't think you got to play with him. A couple of other people stopped by too, though I don't know their 'Scapers names.

If you've got the dough, you'll definitely want a couple of the orc packs to go with Krug. The arrow gruts also bond with Mimring, and the blade gruts bond with Grimnak. I see that both House Mouse and Hasbro Toy Shop have them for sale.

[bunjee]

I'm really sorry to hear you won't be making it Bahde! Good luck with your August 4th tournament, I'll be in Kennewick that weekend or we'd descend upon you!


For this Saturday, I believe that Sexecution and I will be sharing Tournament Director duties.

I'm sorry I haven't gotten the maps and glyphs posted. All maps will have 2 glyphs, the glyphs will be random, and the pool will contain:
Attack +1
Defense +1
Move +2
Initiative +8
Die 20 +1 (lucky 20 sider)

Because of various time constraints, I haven't gotten creative, so for maps I'm going to go with:
Forsaken Waters (http://www.hasbro.com:80/heroscape/images/scenarios/FW1.pdf) (See master rule book or Hasbro.com)

From Battlefields of Valhalla: (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=5725)
Mole Hills
Marr Highway
Arctic Divide

2 other maps:
Highways and Dieways (http://www.heroscapers.com/download/index.php?ACT=dl&id=420&symid=426)
Forgotten Wellspring (http://home.quicknet.nl/qn/prive/gjloos/ForgottenWellspring.pdf) (with a slight shift to the red start zone plate)

I'd like to build a few others in case other people show up. I have a penchant for Searing Pass. I'm also considering Geosmores Garden Temple (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=9325&start=0)

I'm going to add this information to the first post.

Bad news and it's all my fault. For some reason I assumed that it was starting at the usual 2pm time and didn't check. Unfortunately I've got a conflict with the earlier time and can't make it. Terry probably can't come either as I didn't relay the correct time to him either. I'm really sorry about my mistake. :(

Darkclown

[darkclown789]

We had a great time today, it was very fun and we cranked out games in the perfect amount of time (not too short, not too long). I played Dragons, of course, because I love Dragons.

My team: Braxas: = 210
Charos: = 210
2X Rats = 80
Total: 500

I took third out of 6 people, 5 games played. I was 3-1 with the best differential until the last game where my mighty dragons met Krug; the dragon slayer (played by my little bro). Overall it was a great tourney and we all got prizes! It ruled. I suggest a 10$ entry fee for next time though. That way it covers a prize for each person.

Thanks for the great game,

Darkclown

[kenjib]

Awesome that sounds fun. More stories please!!! Before I realized my time mixup my army was going to be kind of similar to yours:

210 Charos
180 Q9
30 Eldgrim
80 Raelin

[Elstree]

Hey y'all, I had a blast yesterday! I played more games in six hours yesterday than I usually do in an eight hour game day. I'm wondering if we can apply some of yesterday's efficiency to our regular events.

Would having sign-up sheets for each map and scheduled time slots help, or would that impose too much structure on the more relaxed atmosphere of our regular game days. Any suggestions?

[darkclown789]

That works for me... I don't really care what we do. It was fun and that's good enough for me!

Darkclown

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

I think the game days are fine the way they are, I like the slowness! When's the next tourney?

[bunjee]

I'm thinking that the regular game days could increase in pace if we take some simple steps like eating before we arrive. There tends to be a lot of talking about things before we even start setting up maps, and I like that part a lot, but we could probably setup and talk and play and talk.

I'm not sure when the next tourney will be. Not until after Gencon, I do know that. Unless someone else wants to organize one.

[darkclown789]

[kenjib]

Yeep! Looks like a long time with no Heroscape for me.

By the way Elstree I've managed to play Hollywood Blockbuster a few times now. Once I played it with in-laws and it went over REALLY well with non-gamers. The theme is really mainstream and light-hearted and you can have a lot of fun egging people on and having fun with the whole bidding process. It also leaves a lot of space open for general social interaction so it's really stellar in this environment.

I also played it a couple of times with my board gaming buddies and they liked it a lot too. Nobody has really nailed down the economics of it yet (the fact that your contracts are all worth a point at the end might be a good starting benchmark, though I'm still not sure how relevant it is toward the beginning of the game) and I know I'm still overpaying for stuff from time to time but at least now I'm starting to be able to identify when I do afterward. There is also a certain power to having a large stash that goes beyond just what you can purchase as a meta-game thing. I know we all tended to keep an eye on whoever hadn't bought anything in a while so we knew who might be able to bid us up higher on various lots and who wouldn't.

The game is a lot of fun. Personally I would very much prefer the original German pieces from the golden age of Hollywood, but I really want the game in English and I think the English one with modern actors is probably more accessible/enjoyable to most other people anyway.

[darkclown789]

Three of us will be there tomorrow! Got to bail at 5:15ish though. Me and Jake have tested out Wave 7 (got it a day or two ago), but Carter hasn't. I'm excited to use multiples of the spearmen and see if they are worth playing (assuming I can borrow some, I'm sure that's no big deal, if someone wants to borrow our knights or Spearmen/Riflemen then that's okay with us).

Darkclown

Sorry we missed you at the game day yesterday, Kenjib. Darkclown and his brothers along with Fuzzyfuzz made it, so we had enough players to keep three maps in use. We also busted out the new Marvel. Things ended early, but I think we all had a good time.

I responded to your Hollywood Blockbuster post here (http://heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?p=307635#333563).

So, assuming that the next Game day is on August 18, who can come? Also, JandarSunStar and Co., when can you guys come? We need you to bring terrain since Bunjee and Co. will be O.O.T! Whenever you can make it is when it'll be, I assume.

EDIT: Would it be possible to move the date to a time everyone could go? Say, to the 25 or the 11?

Look! I am posting!!!

I think we will be able to make it to the gameday on the 18th. We wont be at Gen Con, and as far as I know that weekend is free.

As for the terrain, we can bring what we have, and we can set up some of the new hasbro maps, or just make a really big one and have a huge battle.

As for changing the dates, the group rents the room at 3rd plaec books, for the third saturday of each month. Bunjee would have to let you know about changing the date and times. [/quote]

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

Oh, well OK then. Hmm... You know, I'm not sure I'll be in town on the 18. I'll check and let you know! :shock:

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

OK, I'm giving this a small bump to say that it's unlikely I can make it on the 18th. I'll be in town, but my grandparents are flying in from California on the 17th, so I'll probably stay and be with them, but I'll let you guys know.

[kenjib]

I probably can't make it. If I can it will be later in the day like around 5. I'll see how it goes. If you guys plan on wrapping up early let me know so I don't show up right before everyone goes home. :)

[bunjee]

Hmm, maybe we should see if it can be moved. I'll ask Third Place, but when would be good for everyone? I'm going to be out of town on the 25th as well (lots of out of town weekends this year) and it doesn't seem like Labor day weekend would be great, but I would be up for it if other are. Not sure we could get either one.

[JanderSunstar]

the 25th is bad for us, so is most september weekends (birthdays). next weekend sucks too. no weekdays for us.

[darkclown789]

We might be able to make it; at least 'til around 5. That doesn't give a lot of time though.

Looks like we will just skip a month?

Darkclown

[JanderSunstar]

We will be there the full amount of time. from 2 until 5 for Dark Clown and posse, and from 5 until 10 for Kenji.
We have done the whole 5 people playing before, its not that bad, right?

[bunjee]

Any one going to the local game events, PAX or Dragonflight?

http://www.dragonflight.org/A little late to ask about dragonflight :wink: since it ended today.

We're going to be out of town on the weekend of the penny arcade expo, sounds cool.

[oni]

Whoops. I forgot they changed their dates after so many years of being the weekend before Labor Day weekend.

[JanderSunstar]

We were at Dragonflight building and displaying the Heroscape map. It was pretty looking, not really playable, but who cares right!?!?

We are not going to PAX, too busy that weekend.
I dont know if there is going to be a Heroscape thing there or not, I havent bothered to look....

[kenjib]

Hmm...it turns out that Krista's photo shoot might actually be in September, not August so it's possible that I might actually make it at 2pm after all. I won't know until I go though.

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

I can't come, my dad and stepmom are getting married the next day.

[darkclown789]

Argh.... something last minute came up. (Hate those!)

Hope to see you all next month.....


Darkclown

[JanderSunstar]

Well if no one else can make it, we are going to stay at home. Kenji, I will give you a call.

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

OK, well, it's September, so I don't feel guilty about resurrecting this. September 15 is good for me!

[JanderSunstar]

We plan on being there.

[kenjib]

I'll be in Antioch, CA for an important family thing. See you all in October.

-k

[bunjee]

I updated the first post to have the September date. We plan on being there for the full time! We'll have the swarm of the marro we bought at Gencon with us.

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

Huzza SotM!

I might bring a friend, it depends on if he's sick then or not. He got a Kidney infection and missed school today (the first day) because he had a fever of 102 Degrees, which he's had since Friday.

[darkclown789]

We MIGHT be able to make it.... already have a big movie (Pathfinder) scheduled that day at our house. I will update soon.

Darkclown

[JanderSunstar]

Whatever, Pathfinder has been out for a month! Why watch vikings when you can play with them!!!!

[JanderSunstar]

There is going to be a new player with us on Saturday. We met him at Dragon Flight and he is looking forward to gaming.
I havent talked to the regulars about going, so it will probably be just Ellian and I.

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

That's a yes on the friend!

Oh, and another friend who I hadn't planned on inviting yet (I'd like to bring one newcomer at a time) heard about it and might come.

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

OK, make that only the second friend. The first is going backpacking.

[Renquist]

Ah Seattle peoples! Well I live in Kent, as a result of the long drive requiring gas I don't have can't make it today :(. I wish I'd found this thread earlier.

You'll be updating the first post with an October date I'm assuming?

For all my modding I have very little actual game time. I'm sure I can learn quite a lot by attending some time.

[bunjee]

I started a thread for the October 20th event.

My friends and I had a great time on Saturday. I'll try and make the Oct date also.

[bunjee]

My friends and I had a great time on Saturday. I'll try and make the Oct date also.It was great to have you there, sorry you couldn't stay longer. Definitely hope to see you for the tournament.

p.s. your housemouse stuff arrived :)

[bunjee]

Hello all!
November 17th (our November game day) is also at the same time as the Emerald City Gamefest.

I see this as a great time to bring new players into the game. We'll still have our room, but I'm thinking it could be a lot of fun to build some huge showy map and still have a few normal maps setup for people to play on. A few posters from Gencon that show all the stuff available will be on hand also.

I'm going to be brainstorming and working with virtualscape to come up with some ideas. If anyone has something they've seen on the boards or that they've come up with, post a link in here. I'll be looking around some of the show off threads. (Caravaggio, etc)

[JanderSunstar]

Ellian enjoys building flashy things, but not preconstructing (cramps the imagination) But I am sure he would be willing to build something.

I was thinking about a sign or something, I can volunteer my time to make a foamboard sign with our new logo on it (minus the date of course).

I would be nice to have a little standee so we dont have to keep telling people about the game.

Kenji, what with his little birch trees and all, seems to be the king of showy maps. Hopefully we can get him to build us one.

[bunjee]

Updated the first post with some information about November 17th. I'll put up more information after I meet with the Emerald City Gamefest group this Sunday.

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

I could play one game with a newbie, and a couple with the usual suspects.

[kenjib]

I'm hoping to be there on the 17th. I don't know if I'll have time to create a new big map by then but I can always build one of the older ones that I've done in the past. I can't wait for the jungle set so I can start to make better use of my Olmec heads and Southeast Asian ruins.

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

On a somewhat related note, do we know when the group HMG order will come in? In time for the Game day on the 17th?

[bunjee]

Once I have a better idea of how things are going to go, I'm thinking about setting up some of the small maps like the ones we used in the tournament, and a large showcase map.

The maps I'm thinking of are:

Arctic Divide by UranusPChicago - BoV map (http://www.heroscapers.com/download/index.php?dlid=161)
Broken Skyline by LongHeroscaper - BoV map (http://www.heroscapers.com/download/index.php?dlid=894)
Embattled Fen by GameBear (http://www.heroscapers.com/download/index.php?dlid=872)
Highways and Dieways by UranusPChicago - BoV map (http://www.heroscapers.com/download/index.php?dlid=726)
HopScorch by Elstree (http://www.heroscapers.com/download/?dlid=917)
One map that uses just the Rise of the Valkyrie Master Set, but something that can do 3 or more players and looks kind of interesting.

Again, I'll be verifying our space setup this weekend and will provide more information then.

[bunjee]

On a somewhat related note, do we know when the group HMG order will come in? In time for the Game day on the 17th?No time frame from Housemouse yet, she'll usually post when there is word from her distributor.

I do really hope to have Ticalla Jungle by the 17th.

[JanderSunstar]

We wont know until the 17th if we are going to be able to play. But Ellian has expressed interest

[bunjee]

Ok, I met with the Gamefest committee last weekend to get things ironed out. This week was crazy so I hadn't posted an update, doh!

We will have one table in the outer area that can accommodate 2 maps where I will be handling GM duties doing an Intro to Heroscape. I'll bring pre-made 500 point armies for people to use on the Bloodred River Battlefield (http://www.hasbro.com/games/kid-games/heroscape/Scenarios/Bloodred_River_Master.pdf) and then have Migol's Tomb and the Mimring's Fortress Scenario.

In our normal glass room space we'll have two of the smallish tables, and the rectangular laminate top table for our normal gaming group that doesn't have to "share" with the Gamefest folks. We are also using the big round table where I would like to have a really nice looking map built that uses all the types of the terrain. They will be setting up one of the folding tables in there for games, and the bookcase/hutch and back corner are going to be used for their storage and prize displays.

I'll post more shortly.

edit: Oh, right! I would really like it if people would be up for having Marvel on one of the small tables and Swarm of the Marro on the other small table so people can see those sets in action with our experienced players.

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

Prize displays?

I'm good with anything you guys decide, and I think that having Marvelscape and SotM set up would be fine.

[darkclown789]

I don't know if we will be able to attend this time around. It is my birthday that day, (the sweet 16!), and I'm not sure what I will be doing yet.

~DarkclownHappy birthday in advance, I can understand looking for something else to do besides coming to play board games on your birthday.

I hope you have fun!

Aaarg! The world seems to be conspiring against me so that I'm always doing something on the third Saturday of each month! Gah!

I have my soccer tournament that weekend. I might be able to come, but I might not. I don't have details yet, and we might get eliminated before that anyways.

Well, have fun, guys!

[JanderSunstar]

Yup. We will be incommunicado until the 16th, and will let you know asap if we are coming to play.
I am glad we got everything Ironed out with the ECG.
Just their prizes will be in the glass room? Or will there be games in there too?

I'll be there for 11/17, I'm not sure if any of my friends are coming. (Can I still call them friends?)

Anyone with extra 2nd Edition Rules that they might be willing to part with? Or an extra RoTV box?

[kenjib]

There's no way I can plan out an elaborate map before the 17th. I've just got too many things going on in my life. I can bring all of my stuff though if we want to assemble one on the fly. Should I bring it all so we can just wing it?

-KenjiI'm going to be working out needed sets for the promised maps later today and that will give an idea of what we have left so you may not need to bring anything. How are you set for hauling things along that day?

[oni]

I can also bring stuff if you need it. Just let me know.

Thank you, guys, I'll let you know.

[JanderSunstar]

If we end up coming, we can bring some stuff too.
Hawaii is pretty, dont want to leave.

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

OK, I most likely can come.

[kenjib]

It looks like I won't be able to make it after all. My date to move down to Los Angeles has now moved up to the 23rd so I'm spending my last weekend here with the kids. I should be able to stop in on my way to and from various places to say goodbye and to pick up the Housemouse loot though, if you are able to bring it, bunjee.

Thanks,

-Kenji

[darkclown789]

It looks like we will be unable to attend, as well.

I can definitely come, but I'll have to leave at 4:30-ish to go to my soccer party.

Actually, I'll need to know if you still want the packs that you did order before. Since I don't have enough for free shipping without the wave 8 and 8.5 stuff, the order is on hold.

[JanderSunstar]

you are a big meanie Kenjib!!!
I dont think you should give him his stuff. Move to LA, whatever. Meanie!

Woohoo! That was fun. Played a game and a half with oni, decided I need to get myself some more roborats... (multiple squads is just so much fun!)

Ok, December 15th is our next game day, who all is going to attend? (I'll be posting some more about the Emerald City gamefest shortly.

[Nadom]

I'm all the way down in Eugene, OR but there's a chance I might be in the Seattle area that weekend. It would be great to get some inter-state 'scaping going on; is there any info I'd need besides what's on the first page?

I will note that at least one person didn't find the "conference room" we are in when the came to check us out. It is a glass fronted room that is next door to Kitto Japanese cuisine in the food court area.

[JanderSunstar]

We are down.
David isnt sure if he has to work, but we will let you know.

[darkclown789]

We should be able to attend....

Sounds like we'll have more people this time, cool!
