Houston, we have a thread...

[Sweetcurse]

I'm very high maintenance.

[SgtDrill]

Mrs. Rock will fry up some shrimp and I'll be boiling my shrimp up proper like with corn and potatoes.

"Mrs. Rock"... That's hilarious. Sounds like a character on the Flintstones.

Can I call her that next time I talk to her?

[Sweetcurse]

Comin' down Drill?

[SgtDrill]

Wish I could. Mrs. Drill already has the manacles ready for a family weekend.

But I'll be down sometime this summer, and I definitely want to meet you while I'm there.

Maybe even learn how to play Heroscape ;)

[ProSpecT]

Maybe even learn how to play Heroscape ;)

It's all about defense. The more defense dice you have the lesser the chances of Whiffing. :twisted:

[Jonathan]

Looks like Heroscapers just got filtered at school. What's my duty-free lunch coming to :cry:

[Sweetcurse]

NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I dread the day that happens to me. Sorry man, truly, deeply sorry.

Also, EVRYONE must watch Speed Races NOW! That movie rocks so much it makes me sick. I'm in love with it and I never even liked SR before!

[OmegaX01]

Hey Guys, still working on the dets for Monday, but here's wahat we've got going a Chez Rock.

Starts around 1ish and will last until darkish. It will be a mix of geeks and teachers.

Mrs. Rock will fry up some shrimp and I'll be boiling my shrimp up proper like with corn and potatoes.

If your coming, some sides or a dessert would be handy. If you have an ice cream churner, that would be mucho goodo.


Also, don't forget, we have a cement pond and the water is clear, some bring swim trunks!

Do me a fav and do some sort of RSVP.

I've got these folks showing up.....
jonathan
sweetcurse
some teacher types from my school....

Count me in and the wife and brat child too. any games ya want me to bring along like i don't know munchkin or what not?


Also, EVRYONE must watch Speed Races NOW! That movie rocks so much it makes me sick. I'm in love with it and I never even liked SR before!


*Draws out paper fan of death*
BAKA!!! The name of the movie/series is "Speed Racer" Unless you get the original Japanese version then it's "GO! GO! GO! Mach 5"
*gears down form hyper otaku mode*

[Sweetcurse]

Ha ha ha, I did mean Speed Racer. Funny.

As far as MOnday, I'll bring Tannhauser, Mall of Horror, LNOE, TTD and whatever else I can think of. Munchkin would be cool man!

[AmishBurrito]

I may be able to make it Monday as well. My parents' flight is earlier than I thought. Please PM me the address!

[ProSpecT]

Can I get Chucks address PMed to me please, either by Chuck himself or anyone else who has it.Thanks

[Chuckrock]

She won't know what the hell your talking about. I thought the extended metaphor would be funny.

Mrs. Rock will fry up some shrimp and I'll be boiling my shrimp up proper like with corn and potatoes.

[Finrod]

Saturday Report:

The Overlord (me) destroyed a group of intrepid heroes in scenario 2 of Descent. Alas, they were no match for the Trapmaster.

Several games of Heroscape were also played, in which the Marrden Hounds pwned all.

Some great social interaction took place over a game of Power, Prestige & Politics. The final moments of the game were insane by definition. I'd forgotten how much fun that one is.

[Jonathan]

Is Scenario 2 the one with the giants? Heinous!

Sorry I missed the other stuff, though ;)

[Finrod]

Is Scenario 2 the one with the giants? Heinous

Yep. I knew I wouldn't be able to spawn much in that limited map, so I customized the overlord deck with more traps & events, and I was lucky enough to get Trapmaster out early. Then it was a matter of spawning kobolds and dropping characters into spiked pits, etc., over and over. In the last few turns, any time a hero was about to move, I was holding my cards and asking, "Are you moving to that space now?" just to freak them out. Two teenage guys, who were there just for Heroscape, were watching at that point and both agreed, "Man, I want to play the Overlord! That's FUN!"

[Chuckrock]

Okay, the Shindig at the Chateau Rock went very well, indeed.

Now is the time for us to set a date for HEROSCAPE BY THE POOL. It need not be in the pool, but I think it would be wonderful by the pool. School is out in seven days, so how much notice do we need?

[Junge Roman]

I'm glad to see that everyone is actively gaming. I have high hopes for Heroscape once the shipments come in from House Mouse! Are there any Wave 8/Jungle inauguration events planned?

[OmegaX01]

Was figuring on doing "Rumble in the Jungle" some time after everthing shows up figured on making one huge jungle map and then having everyone that wanted to come over. 10 jungle sets should be enough to make for one hella fun map. I'm Starting a new job before then though so getting a date up right now is going to be kinda hard at the moment. but in the next week or two i should be able to get an idea on that.

[Finrod]

Haha. That's awesome. You have the space for it, too.

I dunno. I'll have a game day in LaMarque probably either the 14th or 21st. But that wouldn't work as well for Heroscape stuff. We'll need to plan something extra to celebrate.

[Jonathan]

Congrats on the job, Omega!

The 14th sounds better to me, as we should all be going up to Dallas on the 21st for the MOPS tourney :D

[AmishBurrito]

I should have the new scape on the 13th, and hand it off to Jonathan during descent that night, so he should be wave 8 equipped on the 14th I hope. :wink:

[Finrod]

I should have the new scape on the 13th, and hand it off to Jonathan during descent that night, so he should be wave 8 equipped on the 14th I hope. :wink:

And I should get the rest of Jonathan's Wave 8 order on the 13th, too. :)

Reminder to two certain people, one of which may or may not have just been named: I still need your money for this order...

Crap. I just realized... the 13th is a Friday, and this is coming via UPS. Most of the time that I have a UPS package scheduled for delivery on Friday... I don't get it until Monday. There's always a sudden change in the "scheduled delivery date" on the tracking website, but that change doesn't happen until around 4 or 5 in the afternoon.

In other words, my UPS driver knocks off early on Fridays. It's very annoying.

Finny, send me your address and I'll mail you a check - sorry for my tardiness!

[Junge Roman]

That's funny, and very believable. On several occassions, I think I have seen my UPS driver driving up and down the neighborhood looking for my house, talking on the phone/radio trying to figure out my street. I've tried to wave him down a couple of times, but to no avail. Sure enough, the next day, a different driver who knows the neighborhood better comes and delivers my package.

[Chuckrock]

So is there a Descent game going on? I have to admit, I didn't dig it as much as everyone else seems to. It seemed extremely one sided. I never got the feeling that anyone other than the Overlord was supposed to win or that there was really a lot of choices on what to do.

You guys talk it up a lot, though, so I'm willing to give it another look-see. I expected it to be a beer a pretzels game, which may have been a mistake on my part.

Jonathan, Sweetcurse, Jenny, & Billy (A guy I met playing Twilight Imperium) are starting up a campaign tonight, so we will probably be booked with our current group for a while. You may be able to sit in for someone if they can't make it one day though.

I do agree that the overlord is powerful, but it takes throwing everything you have at the heroes to knock them out. I think part of the problem was that you started out in a really hectic scenario with the cave collapsing and had a slow start. Normally, there is no collapse, so there is a lot more time for the heroes to move around, but if they take things slow, that means more threat for the overlord.

You should give it another shot, I still want to play through the rest of the original scenarios, so next time you are having a get together and want me to bring descent, let me know!

[Finrod]

Ditto from here, Chuckster. I'm not part of the campaign, so any time I play it's going to be the original scenarios (which will last me for quite some time). Any time you want in, let me know. The next time I play will probably be the 21st, I think.

[Finrod]

Hey, guys. I just got three more of the collector's guides from HouseMouse. Since I already have a couple, these are available if anyone doesn't have one. Just let me know and it's yours. Otherwise, I'll hold them until the next game day I have with church teens and give them out then.

[Sweetcurse]

save me one or two if you can fore the guys in Mexico.

[AmishBurrito]

I just got some in as well, for the people who placed an order with me (Jonathan & Ricky)

[AmishBurrito]

Man, the campaign is off to a fun start. I can't wait 'til next week. Once the heroes leave the dungeons we will all have some experience to spend!

I am excited though, and want to play something tonight. Descent or whatever else. Anyone up for it!?!?!?!

As tempting as that sounds I'm going to have to pass. The game room is a total mess right now and I need to get it ready for D&D tomorrow. besides the wife has our only working car at the moment.

If I had checked the boards sooner, I might have tried to work that out...

Oh, well. Just played a cool Heroscape castle game with my brother. My Sentinels, Concan, Raelin & Sgt. Drake brought the smackdown on Charos, Saylind, Syvarris, Theracus and Deadeye Dan. (Okay, so only Sgt. Drake was left standing at the end...)

[Jonathan]

Hey, I don't have class on Fridays this month, so if any ProSpecTs or teachers or regular folks want to come up for some Scape, please let me know!

[Finrod]

Well, my obsessive game purchasing continues. Pozy.com has Tide of Iron today for only $44.95. Since it's at the top of my wish list, I couldn't pass it up.

So... my list of games I own that I haven't played yet...

Tide of Iron
Twilight Imperium
A Game of Thrones
Duel of Ages
Pandemic

And one or two others I can't remember at the moment.

Edit: Just found out my long-awaited free copy of Pandemic shipped today, so add that to the list.

[Chuckrock]

Even though I'm teaching until Friday, I've had some conversations and I think that my next game-when I'm not at a descent a thon-will be SPACEHULK.

Here's the deal, though, I need Terminators. Old School Metal Terminators. Close Combat with Lightning Claws or a Storm Shield and Thunder Hammer.

I'm currently bidding on some and secured some regular stormbolter types (another 5 man crew would be nice.)

Just to let you know, I have the original set, expansions and the new set.

[SgtDrill]

I've got some Chaos Terminators you can have. You may have to do some repainting, though. I'll take a look when I get home tonight.

[elflord]

I'm going to be doings some house cleaning soon. I have a few extra sets of the base set. Since they are all uniques, anyone want to trade so you can make your own customs?

[ProSpecT]

Hey, I don't have class on Fridays this month, so if any ProSpecTs or teachers or regular folks want to come up for some Scape, please let me know!

Aww great. When I have my next 2 Friday's booked. Maybe the 20th?

Deal? Have to check the rest of my brain in the morning ;)

[Chuckrock]

Well, today is my last day. I'm ready to play some games, but it will be a long day.

IS anything going on in the bay area tonight?

[Chuckrock]

Well, I ascended to the attic and picked around and came up with 2 copies of SPACE HULK and the expansions DEATHWING and GENESTEALER.

Inside I found enough Terminators to play a round and a cornucopia of Genestealers. The old rules are on the lamb, but I've got the new stuff. Anyone up for a game tonight at Chateau Rock?

[tdavid6]

Does anybody live in Katy?

[Jonathan]

I'm at 1-10 and the Beltway, if that's close enough.

[Jonathan]

The 20th looks good to me, ProSpecT - if it still works for you, maybe we can get something set up!

[ProSpecT]

20th is still a go. Is it going to be at your place? I don't want to intrude though and am willing to go anywhere you wish to play. Although I am not sure which time will be best for me I might have to goto my physical therapy.

*finishing up the touches on Marvel Customs*

[Chuckrock]

So my Certification Program just surprised me with 3 days worth of Pedagogy classes.
Thrs, Fri and Sat.

Thing is that are up North of town. Off Gessner no less I have a choice of Stratford or Spring Woods High Schools.

You guys up for something? I'm out at 3:30 each day. I'll have Hulk with me or we could do the choice of Houston.

[Jonathan]

Spring Woods, Spring Woods!!! :D
You mean like this week?

And ProSpecT, please come to my house, if that's okay with you. Would 11ish work?

[Finrod]

The next game day between my family and my best friend's family will be the 21st. It will be at his house down in LaMarque (a bit of a drive for you Houstonians) and start around 1:00.

We haven't decided exactly which games we'll play, but Pandemic is a definite. We'll probably evaluate our list of other possible games based on who's coming and the probability of whether our wives will play.

Other possibilities include: Heroscape, Descent, Twilight Imperium, Arkham Horror, Doom, Railroad Tycoon, Tide of Iron, Shadows Over Camelot... and so on...

[Chuckrock]

Spring Woods, Spring Woods!!! :D
You mean like this week?

And ProSpecT, please come to my house, if that's okay with you. Would 11ish work?


Classes are 9-3:30. And after a little fine print, it looks like it's Stratford for SPED. I dunno when lunch is yet.

I would definitely like to hang out before heading back down. Especially, Fri/Sat.

[Sweetcurse]

You guys can read the rules for Space Hulk ahead of time on BBG. Easy and will make the playing that much quicker.

[ProSpecT]

Spring Woods, Spring Woods!!! :D
You mean like this week?

And ProSpecT, please come to my house, if that's okay with you. Would 11ish work?

Cool, will be there. I didn't want to be like

"So.... your house? *nudge nudge*"

[Jonathan]

Hah! I thought when He said "Hulk", he was talking about YoungRock, whose favorite HS fig is Hulkster.

Hulk could be cool. Maybe we could alternate Hulk and HS.

[Chuckrock]

I'l show up after class and play until it's time to go back home to miss traffic. It'll be tough, no tollway tag on the truck.

[Finrod]

I'm so proud of my daughter...

Monday, I got Pandemic from the UPS guy. We were sitting around the table eating supper and I started explaining it to my wife.

Me: It's cooperative, like Shadows Over Camelot. You work together...

Daughter: unh.
(she's nine)

Wife: What?

Daughter: I don't like those kind of games.

Me: Oh? You'd rather play a game where you can utterly destroy your opponent and leave him wallowing in misery?

Daughter: Yea!

Me: That's my girl.

I'm so proud. *sniff*

[Jonathan]

Train a child in the way she should go...

[Was Abi]

...Me: Oh? You'd rather play a game where you can utterly destroy your opponent and leave him wallowing in misery?

Daughter: Yea!

Me: That's my girl.

I'm so proud. *sniff*
:D:cry::thumbsup: :sob: I laughed, I cried, I saw a small child demonstrate bloodlust! It moved me, Finrod! You must be the proudest dad on the earth! :ninja:

[Finrod]

Jonathan, Ricksta... We probably should have talked about this earlier, but... how do you want to work out getting your stuff?

UPS is scheduled to deliver to me today, which means around 5 or 6 pm, IF the UPS guy doesn't knock off early.

Do you want to try to arrange a meeting sometime tomorrow, at least to hand off the stuff?

[Jonathan]

Let me consult my wife, and get back to you. What times would work for you?

[ricksta2232]

Finrod,

I dropped your check out in the mail Thursday. I had some unexpected vet related expenses over last weekend... that slammed me pretty hard.

The check is on it's way. If Jonathan gets with you sooner than I can, pass my stuff off to him.

[Finrod]

As of right now, I have nothing specific scheduled for tomorrow. Just yardwork and recovering from an extremely busy week.

[Jonathan]

I think Sweet's coming up on the 20th. If Omega doesn't do anything sooner, perhaps we can do a 3-step pass?

:cheer:

[ProSpecT]

I believe Sweetcurse is coming with me up there on the 20th Jonathan. I don't mind swinging by Finny's to pick up your stuff if you want me to. His place is just right there off the highway, and I can make a loop to Sweetcurse's house off of 518 anyway to pick him up. Finrod just has to be home, or have some way I can get it if he isn't.

[Finrod]

The stuff is here, and it's awesome.

As I said, if you guys want to meet sometime tomorrow, let me know. If not, I'll keep it safe for you... and I'll try to keep it unopened....

[OmegaX01]

Well I've spent the last 4 hours opening jungle and large hero packs. (damn what were they thinking when they packaged thoese trees.) So if anyone is up for it tomorrow evening we can have our rumble in the jungle... 1 Mega Map, 600 point armies, unlimited starting hexes, # of players ????.

Fair warning the place will probably be a mess as unpacking 10 sets of jungle really takes it out of ya. oh well on to the figures....

[Jonathan]

The stuff is here, and it's awesome.

As I said, if you guys want to meet sometime tomorrow, let me know. If not, I'll keep it safe for you... and I'll try to keep it unopened....

If we can go with the ProSpecT plan, I think that would work best for me. Sadly, I think tomorrow may be too short notice for Scapage :cry:

[Finrod]

Dang, that sounds awesome, Omega.

I ended up building a few of Soul Shackle's maps with my son, setting up tons of figures, etc., then playing a great game with my daughter.

And then I had to tear it all down because of guests for Father's Day tomorrow. Sigh...

Yea to bad it didn't materlize, I'm still in the middle of getting everything in order. I have training come this tuseday so who knows when I'll get a game in again after I start the job... wish me luck on happening into something 3rd shift ish so I can still game like always.

[Chuckrock]

Good Luck!

[elflord]

My son(age 6) was playing FRAG last friday.
With a little help from me (not playing just consulting) he came in 2nd with three frags. Including 2 in one round.

I'm so proud.

[Jonathan]

Woo-hoo, go gamer kids (TM)!

[Chuckrock]

It was when Lil' Rock started taking individual HS models to school that I knew I had him hooked.

I also came home recently and he and his buddy were playing and they had EVERY piece of terrain on the kitchen table playing a game......It was so cool.


Until his Mom made us clean it all up....

Then it wasn't so cool.

My little brother makes maps that I would never think of EVER! I thought I still had an imagination... psh

I bet Lil' Rock and friend made a map that look like an ice sculpt.

Also, Finrod check your PM's.

[Finrod]

I also came home recently and he and his buddy were playing and they had EVERY piece of terrain on the kitchen table playing a game......It was so cool.

I come home to find that sometimes... but my son just enjoys playing with it all. At six, I can't get him interested in playing the actual game...

Also, Finrod check your PM's.

I did. There's nothing there. Is this some kind of trick? What'd you do while I had my back turned checking my PMs??

::looks suspiciously at ProSpecT::

EDIT: Okay, NOW there's something there... sneaky...

[Chuckrock]

Yeah, Lil'Rock only plays a real game when I make sure of it. For him, I've found that Marvel is a much better primer.

He's pretty good and I help him with strategery.

[Was Abi]

:excited:Happy Scapemas Houstonians!!!:excited::ninja:

[Chuckrock]

Before I make a deal out of it. Is anyone interested in HEROSCAPE BY THE POOL.

Or poolscape if you waterproof things.???

Anyone??

BTW, pool temp today was 81 degrees.

[Jonathan]

When you talkin, Chuckster?

[Velenne]

I'm very :( you Houstonians can't crawl out of that bog you live in down there and make it up to the MOP tournament. I bet I could even spare some terrain for ya.

Poor Jonathan really wants to go! :pity:

[Finrod]

I'm very :( you Houstonians can't crawl out of that bog you live in down there and make it up to the MOP tournament. I bet I could even spare some terrain for ya.

Listen, lad. We built this city up from nothing. When we started here, all there was was a bog. Other states said we were daft to build a city on a bog, but we built it all the same, just to show 'em. It sank into the bog. So, we built a second one. That sank into the bog. So, we built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the bog, but the fourth one... stayed up!

[Velenne]

So what you're saying is, you're staying there and making sure Jonathan doesn't leave? Or Jonathan is staying there and making sure I don't leave? Or are you leaving making sure Chuckrock leaves?

[Finrod]

I'll come next week...

[Sweetcurse]

Well, I am very sorry, truly. I was actually coming with Jonathan, but my cousin decided to get married on the 21st. On top of it, I have relatives coming from out of town and so I can't leave at all.

I'm really sorry, next time I'll whup ya'.

[Finrod]

Oh, and the Poolscape thing sounds fun, Chuckrock. I just don't know WHEN I'd be able to do that. Not for a couple of weeks, at least.

[Jonathan]

See you guys tomorrow at 11!

[AmishBurrito]

So, I may have overestimated my need for Wave 8, and I have an extra full set of Wave 8 as well as an extra pack of Heroes of the Molten Sea (the one with Kato, Dupuis, Moriko, etc).

Anyone need any Wave 8 in Houston?

[Chuckrock]

When you talkin, Chuckster?

Looking at things....The weekend after July 4th.

The 11th, 12th, 13th. Most likely on Saturday...

[Chuckrock]

So what you're saying is, you're staying there and making sure Jonathan doesn't leave? Or Jonathan is staying there and making sure I don't leave? Or are you leaving making sure Chuckrock leaves?


My problem is I have too many family and friends. I can't make it past Arlington to drive up to the Oklahoma border where you typically hold those tournaments.

Also, you guys don't really like us all that much. Except for Dr. Livingston...that is...Quid Pro Quo!

[Junge Roman]

Buyer's remorse? I ordered all I need. I think you should keep your extra hero pack, though. The sculpt and paint on Kato, and Chardris and Dupuis to a lesser extent, is just so good that it may be destined to become a classic.

Well, I got 4 sets, and then I decided I only need 3. 8)

[Junge Roman]

Well, I got 4 sets, and then I decided I only need 3. 8)

Well, if you are feeling generous, save 'em for the next tourney. I only got 2 sets, but I don't see needing 3 of any of the squads. None of them seemed priced right for that, for my tastes.

On the other hand, you never know if the next exclusive is going to be a repainted Grok Rider or a Redcoat. Your embarrasment of riches may turn out to be a bare minimum amount for you.

+rep for supporting Heroscape in Houston.

[Jonathan]

When you talkin, Chuckster?

That Saturday should work well for us; we could also do Sunday @ 1.

[Jonathan]

Thanks for coming to Scape, guys - it was a blast!

[ricksta2232]

Anyone know Finrod's telephone number? I may be going down for a visit to pick up some scape today...

[Finrod]

Anyone know Finrod's telephone number? I may be going down for a visit to pick up some scape today...

I do! I do!

:?

PM sent...

[ricksta2232]

sorry Finrod,

Wasn't trying to call you out or anything... I just figured if I made a public post, anyone that knew you would jump to it.

[Finrod]

No problem. Just being goofy. 8)

Anyone have any Scape goodness this weekend so far?

I got to play Pandemic for the first time - fun game. We saved the world!

And then I got to overlord it on some Descenters again, with scenario 4. We weren't able to finish, but I had 26 threat built up at the moment we quit, and had already killed four heroes total so far... They were barely hanging on. :)

[Junge Roman]

Well, I had a 3 versus 3, 1000 pt. armies, epic game yesterday.

It only took about 8 hours.

Battle report coming...

[Chuckrock]

Sorry I missed the Scape a thon.

The beach house was, as expected AMAZING!

Poolscape will be the weekend after on Saturday. Unless Sunday is better.

Give me some feedback!

[ricksta2232]

Hey... where did Sweetcurse get his new title?

[Finrod]

Hey... where did Sweetcurse get his new title?

Sweetcurse goes through titles like Q9 shooting at Venocs. I swear, the guy's had more titles than half this board combined.

[Chuckrock]

IT is amazing. I've never had one. I stopped even reading the thread.

[ricksta2232]

Chuck, so you know, I'm still interested in poolscape, and will waterproof some stuff before I come. I'll print some cards, laminate them and such, and do that...

Have you thought about a floating piece of plywood on pontoon like floaties?

(That would be awesome...)

Anyone interested in another gathering at Westbury? Some summer Saturdays are looking pretty decent...

[Chuckrock]

We'll be using floats. we've got a couple that should be pretty stable. I think small maps will be better.

[Junge Roman]

Okay, so I spent way too much time describing this 6000 pt. battle I had. Please pretend to read it.

http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=19468

[Sweetcurse]

Title came from playing the CoN. Someone said that the warriors lost (and us puppets won) and that it was all my fault. The previous title was because I kept getting yanked from team to team on an experimental game where you could steal teammates from the other team and I got stolen a kajillion times. ;)

Scape at J's was great. I only played one game since I had family over but it was very good. 2 on 2, Jonathan and Prospect vs me and my cousin. We played a lot of the new stuff. I had Kato and a ton of Ashigaru, my coz had Sujoah, the 10th, Otonosahi (who never once moved) and spiders. Jonathan had Kights, Dupuis, Thorgrim, Zetacron and the Jandar cowboy. Prospect had Zelrig, two sets of minions and Isamu. Needless to say Zelrig made quick work of three of my squads. My Ashigaru then proceeded to kill Zelrig quickly in return, then his minions. Prospect's Guilty outranged my guys, killing two, but then was gunned down like the coward he is. Dupuis charged my flank but my cousin's 10th took care of him and a couple minions. The last remaining minion rolled crazy defense against Kato who is absolute garbage by himself. Sujoah put the hurt on Dupuis who survived a very long time thanks to Thor's spirit. Zetacron took out a few 10th guys but as shot down by two of them later thanks to a whiff.

The game was a sea of dice failure, comebacks and crazy maneuvering. Very back and forth. We didn't finish all the way but it was looking very good for us. We won technically, but it really could haver gone either way in a few more turns. I would call it more like undecided than a victory for anyone.

Conclusions:
Kato is not so great as I expected. Maybe in much higher point games. By himself he is garbage for 200 points, he desperately could have used counterstrike. Not being able to activate two Harquebus is uncool. As it was, it was a fun concept, and definitely had potential to overrun an enemy. but the ashigaru die so quick ( I lost two full squads on one turn) and Kato is so expensive. Not one I would bring to a tourney, for fun yes, but for a tourney no at all.

Zelrig is very strong, though I still think Nilf is better. Against huge squad armies with low defense like Ashigaru he is cool, but on most situations Nilf is better I think. Sujoah we didn't get to see much since she dies right away.

DUpuis was a surpise, he did very well with knights in tow.

[Chuckrock]

You know, I really need to get back into things. I haven't even bought any wave 7!

Kind of a joke? Huh?

On the same kinda of idea Since I've ordered a few hundred Clix off ebay, and I'm still working on getting the figs I wanted. lets put something together in the next few weeks and also make it a time to trade off clix that we have and others are looking for, Or others want and we have. As of right now I'm trying to get a list together of the ones I want to get my hands on and have for extras. the sucky thing is I'm finding some of the ones I want are uniques.

I'll pop up a list here a bit later on when I get this stuff orgnized. It's such a mess right now it's not even funny.

Well Sweetcurse,

This may account for what went down.

I gave you a full pack of swog/knights to repaint... You (your wife who did an amazing job) painted it, but I still need the shield sticker (which I think Omega was looking for).

Then you were still going to paint me a Nerak. (which you still owe me, and you even promised a painted woo at some point in time when you let me down on something... but I have a real woo, so I don't really care) You asked me what I wanted you to do with the other knights, and I told you that you should keep them or make them the little custom squad that was in the codex to go with hawthorne...

That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.

[Jonathan]

Whoo! I hope I have something you need, Omega, 'cause you certainly have a lot of figs that I'm missing!

[Sweetcurse]

Rick: I am sorry, I had completely forgotten. I do have an excess of Swogs that I can easily paint, so I'll make good on that. If you send me the link for the knight squad I'll make good on that as well.

I did paint a bunch of Woo's at some point I think but I forget who got one or not. As far as the sticker, Omega made a bunch, but then he got busy I think and you and I are still waiting for one...wink, wink. I got really good at applying those after a while.

Actually I ran out of decal bonding spray and the printer I was using for the decals died. So if you want to go get a decal kit from hobby lobby or target, or wal-mart you can print out this on the clear paper and have a decal ready to rock and roll as long as you follow the directions in the box and print the image at ....

Cool, let's do that, then :D

This Sunday seems like a no-go, but next Sunday could be good. Any chance we could tie this and Chuck's poolside shindig together?

[OmegaX01]

Most likely not for me, as D&D is on again next week and it's a 1pm to 8 or 9pm commitment for me.

[Chuckrock]

Okay-POOLSCAPE is on.

Saturday around noonish (or earlierish if you are game.)

Bring swim gear (naked swim is not an option!)

Bring stuff you don't mind getting wet.
Awards will be presented for Water-proofing!

This is not a tourney. It's a wacky way to play any game you dig, we just all pretty much dig -Scape.

hey im still alive... how late are yall planning to play cause i get off work around 2

[Chuckrock]

Well, it was over about 4 and the boards being down didn't help.

Sweet and Jonathan came over and we played two very non-heroscape games-
Roborally and Settlers of Catan.

Mrs. Rock even played settlers!

We roasted some hot dogs and had a blast..
Fin-It seems like our schedules never jive! I promise to make the best

I have to admit, I haven't been in all that big a HS mood.

Things are changing, though. Omega, I'm really interested in checking out that new terrain and the Wave 8 stuff. Let's get together next week!

[Jonathan]

hey im still alive... how late are yall planning to play cause i get off work around 2

Rep to Focus for being alive! We thought we lost you, man - get that Liam kid out of those LA swamps and let's have a soiree.

Anyway, thanks again!

Oh well, no worries guess I'll just can the whole idea. The boards seem dead around here as of late. Almost like wave 8/8.5 killed em or something.

It has been kind of dead. You're right.

But in my case, I've barely had much time to hang out here. I'm in the midst of a major project and not only had to not come to your place, I also turned down another offer to Scape Sunday afternoon and this coming Tuesday.

At the rate I'm turning down offers, I'm never going to get to Scape again. :(

[Sweetcurse]

Hey all, don't get discouraged, it's Summer. Usually summers tend to slow down Scaping as people concentrate on family or whatnot. I'm actually free to scape tomorrow and Thursday, any takers?

[Was Abi]

Wow! I guess I'm one of the only ones who have actually been 'Scaping around here.
I'm helping some friends set up a point system for a prospective 'Scaper Federation sometime in the future. If everything works out we may be playing once or twice a month during the school/work year. 8);):ninja:

[elflord]

Howdy, all. I've been very busy with work.
No Scaping recently. Friday at UHCL I'm running Munchkin though. Got some prizes for it too.

[Chuckrock]

I'm willing on that one. What time?

[elflord]

About 6pm to midnight. UHCL student lounge

[elflord]

Hey, we fell off the first page. Is it that quiet around here or did all the discussion move to a new thread?

[Jonathan]

That quiet, I guess. Maybe if we can get something planned a couple weeks out, more people can join in. Sunday afternoon can work for me, if that's the only day you can do it, Omega.

[ricksta2232]

Anyone interested in some scapeage next Friday evening, August 8th at WBC?

[Finrod]

Been watching for clearance stuff...

As you know by now, Target won't be carrying Heroscape any more, so I've been watching their stock. They put it and Battlegrounds both down to $27 first, but I knew it would go lower. I kept watching... even talked a kid and his mom into buying SotM one day while there.

Yesterday, I went in and Battlegrounds was marked down to $12.38... and all the SotM was GONE. It got marked down while I wasn't there and immediately sold out. I checked another Target today and same thing... sigh...

Check your local Targets!

[OmegaX01]

Well just got told no D&D this sunday so if anyone wants to do something let me know as I only seem to get less then 7 days of warning for making sunday non d&d plans.

::EDIT::
Oh and I forgot to mention if anyone is looking for some wave 8 figs check the Kema Walmart. I was there the other night and they had a full set of wave 8 on the shelf.

[rym]

I wish our DFW thread would take off like this one...:cry:

P.S. Howdy to all you Houstonite's. Or is it Houstonians?...

[Junge Roman]

Hey there, and it's Houstonians.

If you read back a couple of pages you will see that's it been fairly dead here lately.

[Sweetcurse]

I saw the W8 at Kemah yesterday. Finrod, I was keeping an eye out on those SOTM's too! I don't think they got marked down more, only that someone bought them at 27. I hope the BG goes lower than 12 though. They also have the new Risk, though I'm unimpressed with the playing pieces. I will be off today and Sunday...But Sunday I'm going to a Wiggles concert. The joys of parenthood. At least the Wiggles are cool though. Yes, they are, eat my shorts.

[Finrod]

Go. To. Target. NOW!!!!

Baybrook & Pasadena are empty, but...

Today for my lunchbreak, I drove up to the Almeda Target. It's hidden back behind the mall, so people often forget it's there. I've had some good finds there before.

Plus, I had checked Target.com, and it said they had a few SotM in stock.

I got there and hurried to the toy section. A lot was going on back there. Dodging a few workers, I made it to the games aisle and looked down at the bottom. There was one copy of Battlegrounds, and there's where SotM SHOULD be... but nothing there. Sigh. I checked the price on BG... $6.24!! Okay, I can do that. I picked it up and straightened up.

And my eyes saw the two copies of Rise of the Valkyrie right in front of me, on the wrong shelf... and labeled for $9.99!!!!!

So ignore the website. Go to any Targets you can find. NOW! Before it's too late! (or I beat you there!)

[Sweetcurse]

Well picked up 4 BG's to use as gifts for the nephews and whatnot.

[Jonathan]

I wish our DFW thread would take off like this one...:cry:

P.S. Howdy to all you Houstonite's. Or is it Houstonians?...

[Sweetcurse]

You prefer denim or khaki?

[SgtDrill]

Hmmm... Denim has the consistency, but the wheaty flavor of Khakis is not to be underestimated.

I'm fine with whichever.

[Sweetcurse]

Fine, my moldy denim it is.

Well, we get to go to the concert because the tickets were bogo and our friends were already so we pay one ticket only. Until then we get to watch their video everyday so the little guy is familiar with the songs. Well, he knows them already but hopefully if he knows them well he will sit quieter.

See above... :roll:




Well I'm debating about getting rid of all the extra uniques that i really only need 1 of. It's nice to have the extras on hand but I'm not really using them and all they are doing now is collecting dust. So I'm kinda torn part of me wants to keep them but part of me thinks just sell them off. any sugestions?

[Sweetcurse]

KEep e'm. Course, it's not my money right? He he. Seriously, I stopped buying a set amount of boosters in favor of buying only wat i really like, isn't that what non collectable is good for in the end. For example, I will end up having four sets of 10th/ bardru, possibly selling of two Bardru.

So, tomorrey afternoons, or night?

[Jonathan]

Well, Omega, it's a hard call. On the one hand, they look great sitting on the shelf. On the other hand, it seems to be getting harder and harder to corral all of us in one spot.

If you did decide to sell them, I'd cry a little :cry:, but I'd understand :grouphug:

Yea they look good on the shelf but, I need somewhere to put all the marvel clix I've been getting for customs. Since it looks like we won't be seeing more offical marvelscape. (I guess I should wait till after gencon to see if that line is offically doomed. But, it really feels like it's dead already) So it's not like the shelves will be empty, just diffrent figs. As it was I liked marvelscape for it's quickness and it was just more fun to me. Anyway I wouldn't be ditching any of the common squads or heroes just the unique squads and heroes. Not sure what I was thinking have 4 full sets of all the figs (well I do but the wife dosen't seem to mind).

[Sweetcurse]

So is Marvel officially not getting any expansions? Sucks, that Thing sure looked cool.

[Sweetcurse]

So JOnathan, up for a game?

[OmegaX01]

It's not offical, but when was the last time you heard anything about Marvelscape?

[Chuckrock]

The clix I've seen are as good and with all the great custom work, it may be hard to justify.

To keep the game going, they've got to focus on other stuff, especially if the movies don't effect sell through.

Yea but the problem is the really good clix are like 15+ bucks. cause they changed the way they did them in the last 3 sets.

[Chuckrock]

THIS IS MY 1000th post!

Whoooo HOOOOOO.

Go Houston!

[OmegaX01]

so then I guess we can do something tomorrow evening starting around 5pm at the earliest and wrapping up around 9pm.

[Chuckrock]

I'd really like to, it all depends on Mrs. Rock.

[Finrod]

THIS IS MY 1000th post!

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Chuckrock again.

Oh, well.

[Sweetcurse]

Well, we doin' somethin' today or wednesday? At this point I'd prefer Wednesday.

[Was Abi]

hmmm... Next Wednesday is my birfday...,
Dare I even ask what strange kind of phenomena is a birf? Is it similar, per se, to a barf?
Oh well, Have a Happy Birfday despite the confusion! ;):ninja:

[Jonathan]

I'll ask. Tomorrow might be a little short notice, but it might work out. I just started work on Monday, so we'll see.

[Chuckrock]

I'd like to do Wednesday.

Tuesdays and Thursdays are out now. I haven't "officially" gone back yet, but I'm in my classroom everyday now.

[Jonathan]

Looks like I'm a no-go. Sorry, guys - hope you have a blast!

[Chuckrock]

Yeppers. I would concur. Mrs. Rock was kind enough to give a long list of "Honey Do's." It will take most of the day and into the evening.

She informed me also that crown molding will be installed in my freshly painted and shelved office.

I responded with a salute and parade rest!

[Sweetcurse]

Well I tried.

[Chuckrock]

next week, then?

[ProSpecT]

I haven't laughed so hard until I was browsing some other forums and came upon this...

http://i38.tinypic.com/2i26e5x.gif


Thought I'd share with you guys...

[Jonathan]

When did you enter the 3rd Dimension, ProSpecT? Looks great!

You guys have a date in mind for next week?

[ProSpecT]

You've been watching the Olympics right??? Or heard about Michael Phelps... I watched that and then someone made a funny GIF of that and I laughed for like 10 minutes straight... I don't know why.

I never watched DBZ but I had some friends who talked about it all the time... so I know about it.

Uhm I think it was more the factor of the new avatar he was talking about.

[ProSpecT]

D'oh!

yea... well... hmmmm. Thats what happens when I speed read.

btw Thanks Jonathan...

Anyway if the news is correct Deadpool will be on the big screen. The new X-men (Wolverine) movie. Played by Ryan Reynolds. I'll be first in line to check that out.

[elflord]

Struck out on the promos. They only had 250 a day and ran out totally before I relised that Wizards got Heroscape from hasbro.

Sucks

[Jonathan]

Lame.

Sorry to hear that, elflord, but I hope you had a blast, regardless. Any new finds while you were there?

And ProSpecT, Ryan Reynolds seems like the perfect choice for Deadpool - thanks for the news, and kudos to Marvel!

[elflord]

Ya, Mayfair had their closeout stuff. I got a full bag of games for $31 ($2-7 each). I got some Steve Jackson Castle stuff for $3. I sold a ton of stuff for Blood and Cardstock (the company I work for at Gencon). We found a nice quiet Cuban place for dinner. Overall a good con, I'm just kicking myself for lack of planning.

Oh, and I came up with a few ideas for new games. I have to develop them over the next few months and submit them. Might make a few bucks.

One I'll produce myself dirt cheap. A zombie game but you are the zombies and demons running from the Christian Fundies who are tryingto kill you. I'll do it as a Cheapass version for $5 retail.

[ricksta2232]

Ok... so summer has come and gone... and I got no scapeage time. I'm feeling jipped...

Anyone up for some scapeage?

[OmegaX01]

What is this scapeage you speak of??? I feel like I may have experenced something like this a long long time ago but it's been so long I can't be sure anymore.

On the same note I'm whittling down my scape stuff to just 1 of all unique figures and 4 or more of commons (mainly squads). On the up side I printed off a ton of the marvel custom cards so if anyone wants to come over.... welll It's all back a page or 2 but I'll say it again. As long as we are done by 9pm I can game any day. So come peasants fight in the castle of the king who needs no crown!!!

[Jonathan]

I'm up for it, I just can't do anything spur-of-the-moment. So if someone can set a date down, I will be there (barring any sort of babemergecy).

[Ikari]

Hey guys, how'bout this Sat or Sun. afternoon. I too would like to get some scapeage before school starts demanding my time again.
